What a luxury listing needs.

At this price, buyers expect a full production: 50 or more photos, a cinematic film, a 3D tour and a twilight. Inside McLean and Tysons the aerials need an FAA/TSA authorization our pilot files ahead of time, so book a few business days out, and build the rest from everything else: extra photos ($50 per 10), a cinematic film ($250), the large-home 3D tour ($250) and a real twilight for homes with pools, landscape lighting or walls of glass.

Discretion matters.

Many McLean sellers are private people. Tell us what stays out of frame, such as family photos, security panels, a home office or a gated drive, and it does. We're happy to work around the sellers' schedule, and the photos go only to you, in your KONAH portal.

Drone photography in McLean.

McLean and Tysons sit inside the DC Flight Restricted Zone, 17.3 miles around Reagan National in our airspace check. Drone is still available: our Part 107 pilot files the FAA/TSA authorization before the flight, so book a few business days ahead and we handle the paperwork.

Great Falls is the exception worth knowing about. It sits just past the zone's edge: Great Falls 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), so big-lot estates there need only the pilot's day-of check, with no extra lead time. Addresses on the McLean side of Georgetown Pike can land either way, which is why the exact address matters.
