Bird’s Eye View | Exploring Luxury Homes From Above

By Alyssa Morrison |

The discerning real estate professionals at Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty understand that a picture is worth a thousand words. That’s why staging a house and capturing beautiful photos is so important. Yet, sometimes a property has so much to offer, only a video capturing the home in its natural surroundings with one sweeping shot after another can begin to do it justice.

That’s why we created this playlist, with a bird’s eye view of homes and estates listed by RSIR brokers, each capturing that listing’s unique setting.

Duality on Willapa Bay
