Salem packs four centuries of housing into a small city. A single week can take us from a Federal-style house in the McIntire Historic District to a converted church condo, a Derby Street waterfront unit and a split-level in Witchcraft Heights.
The McIntire Historic District and Chestnut Street have some of the finest Federal architecture in the country, with tall windows, original mantels and narrow side yards. We shoot these with careful window balancing and exterior angles that respect the streetscape. Around Derby Street and Salem Willows, condos and homes sell on harbor views and walkability, which suits drone and twilight work. The Point and South Salem have many multi-families near Salem State, while Witchcraft Heights and North Salem have mid-century single-families with yards.
Salem shoots get planned around the season. In October, we start early to beat the crowds downtown, and we budget extra time for parking near the McIntire District and Derby Street. Converted condos in historic buildings often have unusual layouts, so we recommend a floor plan. Harbor-view homes are excellent candidates for twilight.
Many Salem buyers commute, so we capture what sits close by: the walk to the commuter rail, the waterfront and downtown. In historic homes we photograph the details agents point out on showings, like original mantels, window seats and staircases. In multi-families near Salem State we shoot every unit the same way so investors can compare them. A drone photos and video package shows how a house sits relative to Salem Harbor, the Willows or Forest River Park. twilight photos work well for homes with harbor views.
Our closest recent North Shore shoots are a listing video at 2 Gedney Dr in Peabody and listing videos at 13 Dustin St and 10 Stanton St in Saugus. We also work in neighboring Beverly, Marblehead and Peabody.
