See the full plan →The trade-off
Real estate media (photo + drone + 3D tour) is a $150-$500 per listing product with strong repeat business from top-producing agents. Commercial video production carries higher per-project revenue but longer sales cycles. Real estate media is volume; commercial video is project quality.
