Lake Arrowhead · Big Bear · Crestline · Running Springs

The photographer
who lives
on the mountain.

I live in Running Springs, so I'm here when the road is clear and here when it isn't. Fresh snow on a cabin roof has about a 48-hour window before it melts or gets tracked out — and it's the shot that sells the listing.

Published prices. No travel fee, Crestline to Big Bear. Photos next business day.

Stills sell the house. You sell the next listing. An agent-hosted walkthrough is the piece a buyer remembers after they've forgotten the kitchen — and it's still rare enough up here that it makes a listing presentation stand out on its own.

Ninety to a hundred and twenty seconds. Lavalier audio so you sound like a professional and not like a phone. Captioned, because most of it gets watched on mute. Three vertical cutdowns for Reels and TikTok.

$195 · Fresh-snow re-shoot

A cabin listed in October is a different house in January.

Same listing, same address, completely different buyer. If your property went up before the first storm, the exterior photos are selling a season that ended.

I text my clients the morning after a storm. Snow on a roof holds for about forty-eight hours before it melts or gets tracked out — so it's a shot with a deadline, and being ten minutes away is the whole trick.

Your seller is about to ask you
to cut twenty-five thousand.

Before that conversation, it's worth $575 to relist with drone and video. Media is the only lever you control that doesn't come out of the sale price.
