Spicer real estate isn’t one-size-fits-all. A Green Lake waterfront home may need shoreline, dock, water-view and aerial coverage, while a luxury lake estate can benefit from cinematic video, FPV and twilight photography.

Move toward Willmar, New London and greater Kandiyohi County, and the media needs shift toward city-lake homes, wooded acreage, cabins, farmsteads and commercial properties.

Use this guide to match your property with the right photography, drone, video, floor plan or 3D media, understand typical media investment and determine the best time to schedule the shoot around the property’s strongest features.

Please Note: Prices are estimates and may vary by property and project—contact us for an exact custom quote.

In real estate, great marketing can make all the difference — and Chris consistently delivers. His photography and videography truly elevate my listings and help them stand out online. He has a fantastic eye for lighting, angles, and the details that make a home feel inviting and memorable. Beyond the quality of his work, Chris is reliable, efficient, and wonderful to work with. He’s professional with my clients, respectful in their homes, and always delivers a quick turnaround. It’s clear he takes pride in what he does, and it shows in the final product every time. Having someone like Chris as part of my listing team makes my job easier and helps my sellers feel confident that their home is being presented at its very best. I highly recommend him.
