With the help of the Phantom 3 Standard I have captured some amazing aerial photos and videos of various properties around the Seattle ad Bellevue area. See more details here.

One of the best ways to capture an interior Real Estate photo, is the use the HDR exposure bracketing technique, on a DSLR camera. What this allows you to do is to take multiple images with different exposure values that properly allow the best shutter speed for the mid-tones, shadows, and highlights. With the use of a tripod and a timed release of the shutter, you do not need to manual fire it off every time. Instead, set your settings and define the level of bracket exposure then take the series of shots.
Once you get your images captured, then you must bled them together in a post processing editing application, like Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Lightroom. There you will define all of your tone mapping setting and fine tune the exposure to get the perfect image. Ideally this will help for taking interior locations with bright windows, because the light meter on the DSLR isn't smart enough to not under exposure the rest of your scene when it's compensating for the amount of light coming in through the windows.
Take a look at a few examples below and on the Real Estate page.
A lot of people expect most of the real estate listings to have a lot of daytime photos and interior but one of the more unique views are the shots that are taken at dusk in the evening. This view of your home will make your listing stand out even more than your competitors and it will get your listing up to $20,000 more in the Seattle market. One thing that I do that makes the twilight real estate photography stand out from the normal images that you see on most of the listings is using a high dynamic range composition of shadows mid tones and highlights to capture the best exposure. Here are a couple examples of high dynamic range twilight real estate photography.
