Real Estate Media Consultant
The person who books the shoot is the person who flies the drone.
Wilson & Smith Real Estate Media is a veteran-owned, family-operated studio built around one photographer, Michael D. Smith, and the certifications that let him work a listing without an agent standing over his shoulder. He holds the FAA Part 107 remote pilot certificate himself, so the aerial work on your listing is flown by the person you booked, not handed off to a subcontractor with a camera.
Registered where the listings already run
Wilson & Smith is an Affiliate Non-Member of the Georgia Association of Multiple Listing Services, so the studio sits inside the same system an agent's own listings move through. On top of that, the studio holds Supra eKEY lockbox access, meaning Michael can open a listed property, shoot it and lock back up without the agent driving out to meet him. Tell him about a seller still in residence or an escort requirement and he will work to whatever access plan the listing needs instead.
Over 30 years behind a camera, on a team of two
Wilson & Smith puts its combined team and industry experience at over 30 years behind a camera on a listing. That is decades spent learning what a wide-angle lens actually owes a small bedroom and where a window pull needs to sit in a bracketed exposure, not a claim that this particular company has been open for thirty years. Michael and his family run the studio together, and the person who answers the phone is the person who shows up to the house.
Why the camera matters before the sign goes in the yard
The National Association of Realtors puts the share of home searches that start online at ninety percent. Redfin's own research found that listings shot with professional photography draw sixty-one percent more views than listings that weren't. Neither number belongs to Wilson & Smith, and neither is dressed up as one here. They're the reason a studio built specifically for listing agents exists at all: the first look most buyers get at a house is a photograph, long before they get a walkthrough.
