Complete real estate marketing package for a stunning South Austin home featuring a separate casita, pool, and modern open-concept design. This comprehensive shoot included professional interior and exterior photography, drone aerials, 2D floor plan, and an elevated home tour video with the listing agent.
The Complete Marketing Package That Sells Homes
When you're marketing a high-value property in South Austin's competitive real estate market, you need more than just basic photos. This $900,000 home with its unique features—a separate casita with full kitchen, a resort-style pool, and solar panels on nearly half an acre—required a comprehensive visual marketing strategy that would showcase every selling point and help buyers envision the lifestyle.
That's exactly what our complete marketing package delivers. From professional HDR photography to cinematic drone aerials, detailed floor plans, and an elevated agent-featured video tour, we created a full suite of marketing assets that positioned this property for success in the Austin real estate market.
Why This Property Needed a Comprehensive Approach
Built in 2020 in the sought-after Elm Wood Estates subdivision, this modern South Austin home presented several unique selling features that needed strategic documentation. The separate casita alone adds immense value—perfect for multi-generational living, rental income, or a home office—but you have to show how it functions as a completely independent living space with its own entrance, full kitchen, bathroom, and laundry hookups.
Add in the pool with bubblers and tanning ledge, the enormous covered patio perfect for Texas outdoor living, solar panels that reduce energy costs, and an open-concept main house with walls of windows overlooking the pool, and you have a property with a complex story to tell. Basic photography simply won't capture the full value proposition.

The Power of Elevated Agent Video Tours
While professional photography captures the beauty and details of a property, video brings it to life. Our elevated home tour videos feature the listing agent walking through the property, explaining features, and telling the story of the home. This creates an emotional connection that static images alone cannot achieve.
For this South Austin property, the agent video tour was essential for explaining the casita's versatility, demonstrating the flow between indoor and outdoor living spaces, and showcasing how the pool area creates a true resort-like experience. Video allows agents to highlight details that might be missed in photos alone and builds trust with potential buyers who feel like they've already met the agent before scheduling a showing.
Research consistently shows that listings with video receive significantly more inquiries than those with photos alone. Video keeps buyers engaged longer, provides more information in less time, and creates memorable impressions that drive showings. For Austin real estate agents competing for attention in a crowded market, video isn't just nice to have—it's essential.
Why Floor Plans Matter for Modern Buyers
Today's home buyers expect floor plans. They want to understand spatial relationships, room dimensions, and overall flow before scheduling a showing. For a property with a separate casita, a floor plan becomes even more critical—buyers need to visualize how the main house and guest quarters relate to each other.
Our professional 2D floor plans clearly show dimensions, room labels, and spatial relationships. For this property, the floor plan immediately communicated the value of the separate casita with its own entrance, helping buyers understand the multi-generational living potential or rental income opportunity. Floor plans reduce unnecessary showings from buyers whose needs don't match the property while attracting serious buyers who can envision themselves in the space.
Drone Photography: Telling the Complete Property Story
For properties on larger lots—this one sits on nearly 0.5 acres—drone photography isn't optional. Ground-level photos can't capture the scale of the outdoor space, the positioning of the pool and patio, or how the casita sits in relation to the main house. Drone aerials provide context that's impossible to achieve any other way.
Using our systematic 4-corner drone photography approach, we captured this property from multiple aerial perspectives. Buyers could see the entire lot, understand the privacy provided by the positioning, visualize the outdoor entertaining space, and appreciate the neighborhood setting. For a property priced at $900,000, drone aerials aren't just a nice extra—they're expected by today's buyers and essential for competing in the South Austin market.
What Austin-Area Agents Should Expect
Whether you're listing homes in South Austin, Cedar Park, Round Rock, Georgetown, or throughout the Austin metro area, professional photography and video should be non-negotiable for properties above the median price point. The investment in comprehensive marketing pays for itself through faster sales, higher selling prices, and reduced time on market.
From our base in Cedar Park, we serve real estate professionals throughout Central Texas with the same level of attention and quality that this South Austin project received. Every property deserves photography that highlights its unique selling points, video that creates emotional connection, and supplementary assets like floor plans and aerials that help buyers make informed decisions.
The Results: Marketing That Performs
This comprehensive approach to property marketing isn't just about creating pretty pictures—it's about driving measurable business results. Properties with professional photography sell faster and for more money than those with amateur photos. Add video, floor plans, and drone aerials, and you create a competitive advantage that's difficult for other listings to match.
For listing agents, comprehensive marketing demonstrates professionalism to sellers, justifies premium commission rates, and generates more qualified buyer interest. For sellers, professional marketing means less time on market, fewer price reductions, and confidence that their property is being presented in the best possible light.
This South Austin property had every advantage: modern construction, unique features, great location, and—most importantly—marketing assets that showcased all of it effectively. That's the difference professional photography and video makes in today's Austin real estate market.
