⚠️ Important Notes

  • Property boundaries are approximate and may need adjustment

  • Image quality is highly realistic but not guaranteed to be perfect

Also, please be aware that some real estate agents may not be comfortable using this imagery for listings. In such cases, you may need to find an agent who is open to the approach or clarify that these images are temporary. They can be used to test market interest before investing in professional photography. Communicate to agents that these tools help gauge buyer interest early on and can be replaced later with actual drone shots if needed.


🚀 Pro Tips

  • Use Golden Hour images as your main listing photo—they tend to perform best

  • Mix boundary and non-boundary images for variety

  • Highlight nearby features (roads, lakes, terrain) using different angles

  • You can add your own boundary overlay using our Listing Photo Editor tool if higher accuracy is needed.
