Real Estate Photography in West, TX
West sits about twenty minutes north of Waco right on I-35, and it is an easy, regular stop for us. Texas Real Estate Media is Waco-based, there is no travel fee, and photos come back within 24 hours.
West is a small town with a strong identity — the Czech heritage here is not a marketing angle, it is the actual character of the place, and the downtown reflects it. Listings split fairly cleanly between in-town housing, much of it older and on modest lots near the center, and farmland or small acreage out past the city limits in every direction. That second category is where most of the dollar value sits and where drone work is not optional: cropland, pasture, and small tracts have to be shown from the air for a buyer to understand shape, frontage, and how the land actually lies.
We cover interior and exterior photography, drone photo and video, land and ranch media, and Matterport 3D tours. Cade is an FAA Part 107 licensed pilot, and most of the West area is uncontrolled airspace, so aerials generally happen the same day we shoot.
West splits between older in-town housing near the historic Czech downtown and farmland or small acreage tracts outside the city limits, where aerial coverage is the only honest way to show the land.

West FAQ
Do you shoot farmland and cropland around West?

How close is West to your base?
About twenty minutes straight up I-35 from Waco. No travel fee, and short-notice bookings are usually workable.
Do you need FAA approval to fly here?
Usually not. The West area is largely uncontrolled airspace, so drone flights generally go up the same day without an authorization wait. Cade is Part 107 licensed either way.
What does a listing shoot cost in West?
Essentials $249, Showcase $350 with drone photos and a floor plan, Premier $600 with a 3D tour or a showcase video. Land listings usually fit Showcase or better because the aerials carry the listing.
