A strong real estate listing needs more than attractive photographs. Buyers also want to explore the property, understand the layout, where it is located, its surroundings, and see how each room connects before scheduling a showing.
The Essentials Package from Bird Real Estate Media combines the four core marketing tools most residential listings need:
Professional Listing Photography
5 Aerial Drone Images
Zillow 3D Home Tour with Interactive Floor Plan
High-Resolution 2D Floor Plan
Everything is completed during one streamlined property appointment and delivered as one complete listing media package.
One appointment. Four essential marketing tools. One complete package. Our Best Seller!
Professional Real Estate Photography
Your property only gets one first impression.
The Essentials Package typically includes 30 or more professionally edited interior and exterior photographs, depending on the property’s size, layout, and features.
We create bright, clean, and true-to-life images designed to help the property stand out across:
MLS listings
Property websites
Social media
Email marketing
Digital and printed presentations
Photography may include the main living areas, kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, exterior elevations, pools, patios, lanais, yards, and important property features.
You receive both web-optimized and high-resolution files.

5 Drone Aerial Images FAA Licensed & Insured
The aerial set includes:
4 corner views showing the property, lot, street, and surrounding area
1 top-down bird's-eye roof view
1 aerial image with the property location clearly pinned in red
Aerial photography adds valuable context that ground-level images cannot provide. Buyers can better understand the property's lot placement, surrounding homes, neighborhood layout, nearby roads, green space, waterfront, and other location features.
For Realtors and sellers, this means professional photography, a Zillow 3D Home Tour, floor plans, and aerial photography can all be completed during one scheduled property visit.
Drone Scheduling & Weather
Drone photography is subject to FAA regulations, airspace restrictions, weather, and safe flight conditions.
Agents and property owners are responsible for scheduling the appointment according to weather conditions. If aerial photography cannot be completed during the scheduled visit and Bird Real Estate Media must return to the property specifically to complete the drone images, an additional $50 Drone Return Fee will apply.
Zillow 3D Home Tour with Interactive Floor Plan
The Zillow 3D Home Tour allows potential buyers to explore the property room by room from their phone, tablet, or computer.
Buyers can move through the home virtually, revisit important spaces, and better understand how the rooms connect before scheduling an in-person showing.
This is especially useful for:
Buyers relocating to Sarasota or Manatee County
Out-of-state and international buyers
Buyers comparing several properties
Family members participating remotely
Buyers revisiting the home after a showing
The connected interactive floor plan shows where each tour view was captured and the direction the camera was facing. Listings with a Zillow 3D Home Tour and interactive floor plan can also receive premium placement on Zillow and Trulia, helping the property appear more prominently in search results. Zillow has also reported that listings with a 3D Home Tour received more views and saves than listings without one.

High-Resolution 2D Floor Plan
The Essentials Package also includes a separate high-resolution 2D floor plan with room names and approximate measurements.
The floor plan gives buyers an easy-to-understand overview of the home’s layout, scale, and functionality.
It can help buyers evaluate:
Room placement
Bedroom separation
Furniture possibilities
Work-from-home spaces
Indoor and outdoor connections
The overall flow of the property
The floor plan is delivered as a downloadable image for use on property websites, social media, presentations, brochures, and eligible MLS listings.
Floor plans and room measurements are provided for marketing and informational purposes and are not a substitute for architectural plans, appraisals, or professional surveys.

Why These Services Work Better Together
Each service plays a different role in the buyer’s experience:
Photography captures attention.
Drone Images shows you the location
The virtual tour encourages exploration
The floor plan creates understanding.
Together, they provide a clearer and more complete online presentation of the property.
Instead of coordinating multiple providers or separate appointments, the Essentials Package brings everything together during one scheduled visit.
Designed for Realtors and Homeowners
The Essentials Package is ideal for:
Realtors
Real estate teams
FSBO sellers
Homeowners preparing to list
Residential investors
The experience includes straightforward pricing, instant online booking, appointment confirmations, calendar reminders, online delivery, and payment when the completed media is ready to download.
There is no booking deposit.
Preparing for the Appointment
The property must be fully photo-ready before the appointment.
Cleaning, staging, repairs, landscaping, and vendor work should be completed in advance. Lights should be turned on, ceiling fans turned off, countertops cleared, and distracting personal items removed. Drone flights are weather permitting and in ATC FAA approved airspace.
A property preparation guide is included in your appointment confirmation email.
Single-Visit Package Pricing
Essentials Package pricing applies when the photography, Zillow 3D Home Tour, interactive floor plan, and high-resolution floor plan are completed during one property visit.
Split appointments and return visits are not included in the standard package price and may require additional fees.
Complete Listing Media Without Unnecessary Extras
Not every property requires listing video, twilight photography, virtual staging, social reels or advanced luxury editing.
However, nearly every listing benefits from professional images, a virtual property experience, aerial drone images, and a clear floor plan.
That is exactly what the Essentials Package provides.
Bird Real Estate Media serves Realtors, FSBO sellers, and homeowners throughout Sarasota, Venice, Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Osprey, Nokomis, Palmer Ranch, North Port, and surrounding Sarasota and Manatee County communities.
