I have the privilege of photographing homes for an outstanding group of real estate professionals, and every now and then I get a pleasant surprise. Sometimes the agent isn’t just selling the home, they’re the one who transformed it from the ground up.
That was the case with this incredible property. While photographing it for Dee Gresko of Iron Valley Real Estate, I learned that her construction company, Gresko Builders, had completely renovated the home. After walking through every room, it was easy to see the craftsmanship, attention to detail, and pride that went into every inch of the project. The finished result is nothing short of stunning.
Take a look through the images and be sure to experience the immersive virtual tour. If you’ve been searching for a beautifully rebuilt home that’s move-in ready, this one deserves a closer look.
Every now and then a day behind the camera turns into a story you’ll be telling for years. A few days ago, while photographing a beautiful property here in Pennsylvania, I was flying my trusty DJI Mini 3 to capture the exterior aerials. It’s a drone that has never let me down, but this time the problem wasn’t the drone, it was me. I had charged my batteries the night before, but the battery I had installed hadn’t fully charged, it was the battery from the day before. Halfway through photographing the front of the property, the drone warned me that it was returning home due to low battery. Unfortunately, with the power level dropping, it also lost its obstacle avoidance and clipped the top of a tree that had to be at least sixty feet tall. After several anxious minutes searching through a sea of green leaves, I finally spotted a tiny patch of gray tucked high in the branches.
The homeowner couldn’t have been more helpful. I asked if he happened to have an extension pole, and sure enough, he did, but even the longest one in his garage wasn’t nearly long enough. Then he smiled and disappeared for a moment before returning with what looked like a cross between a slingshot and a crossbow. It was actually a professional tree-line launcher designed to fire a weighted line over high branches so they can be pulled down. After a handful of attempts, he perfectly looped the branch holding my drone, gave it a tug, and down came my Mini 3.
The landing wasn’t exactly graceful. The front-right arm had separated from the body, and at first glance I figured the drone’s flying days were over. But later that evening, after a careful inspection, I realized the damage was surprisingly minor. A small plastic mechanism inside the arm had broken away, and it appeared to be designed as a replaceable component rather than forcing owners to replace the entire drone. A quick search on Amazon for DJI Mini 3 replacement parts confirmed it, the exact arm assembly was readily available. The repair was straightforward, the replacement fit perfectly, and before long my little Mini 3 was back in the air doing what it does best.
Looking back, I probably should have stopped to photograph the whole rescue operation because it would’ve made for some great behind-the-scenes content. But at the time, I was more concerned with getting the drone down than asking even more of the homeowner, who had already gone above and beyond to help. In the end, it was a valuable reminder to always double-check your batteries before takeoff… and that sometimes a good homeowner with an incredible tree slingshot can save the day.
If this happens to you, don’t panic, the $15 dollar part below saved the day & it was very easy to install, plus, it came with the tools. Can’t beat that…

For a while now, Tour Design Media has focused on providing high-quality real estate photography, drone imagery, floor plans, and immersive 360° virtual tours. A few years ago, we also offered vertical social media videos for platforms like Instagram Reels, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. Over time, the requests for those videos seemed to disappear, so we eventually removed the service.
Lately, however, we’ve had several agents ask if we still create vertical social media videos for their listings. That got us thinking… should we bring the service back?
We’d really like to hear from the people who matter most, you! If you’re a real estate agent, broker, or someone who markets properties online, would vertical social media videos be something you’d use? Do you feel they help generate more attention, engagement, and leads?
Please leave a comment below and let us know what you think. If the overwhelming response is YES, we’ll happily add vertical social media videos back to our list of services at Tour Design Media. Your feedback truly helps us decide which services are most valuable to our clients.
This service isn’t for every property, or maybe it is?
When marketing a listing, photos should generally reflect the home’s actual condition and appearance. However, there are times when it can be difficult for buyers to visualize a space’s true potential. That’s where virtual room clean-up and enhancement can make a real difference.
By presenting side-by-side comparisons, or showcasing how a room could look when cleared and organized, buyers are often able to better imagine themselves living in the home. In some cases, that extra visualization can help move a sale forward.
While this service requires additional editing time (still same day), the results can be impressive. For just $45.00, we will virtually clean up and enhance up to 8 cluttered rooms, creating a more inviting presentation while still maintaining a realistic representation of the property’s potential. It’s a simple investment that can give prospective buyers a lot to think about.

In today’s fast-moving real estate market, realtors and construction companies, and other types of companies with properties & assets in general succeed by working smarter—not harder—and that means trusting specialists to do what they do best. Partnering with a professional real estate photographer for property photos, drone imagery, and post-shoot editing ensures listings are captured with the quality, consistency, and visual impact needed to stand out. Instead of spending valuable hours trying to shoot and edit media themselves, agents and builders can stay focused on higher-value priorities like client relationships, negotiations, project management, and closing deals. Professional imagery not only elevates marketing and attracts more serious buyers, it also frees up time and energy where it matters most—growing the business and delivering a better overall experience for clients.
