KONAHReal estate photography in Fairfax, VA.
Fairfax is split-levels and colonials from the 60s and 70s, townhomes around Fair Lakes, and custom homes on big wooded lots out toward Clifton. Each one needs a different shoot. We're about 25 to 40 minutes up the Fairfax County Parkway.
Fairfax areas we cover.
Split-levels, shot right.
Split-levels confuse buyers online. Four short staircases, rooms half a level apart. The photos have to follow the way you'd walk through, and a floor plan ($75) saves a dozen questions. When the kitchen has been opened up or the lower level finished, we make sure those rooms lead the set.
Big lots in Fairfax Station and Clifton.
An acre of trees looks like a backyard from the patio. In Clifton, aerials show buyers the size, the privacy and the long driveway. Fairfax Station is inside the DC Flight Restricted Zone (17.3 miles around Reagan National) in our check, so our pilot files the FAA/TSA authorization before the flight (book a few business days ahead) too, so the same aerial story works there. These properties are also where twilight and a cinematic film earn their cost. Near George Mason University, the opposite is true: investors want fast, clean rental photos. The Investor Rental Ready package ($150 per unit) is built for that.
