Hi, my name is Bret Applegate.

Hi, I’m Bret Applegate, owner and photographer at Applegate Visual Media.

When you book a listing, you work directly with me—from scheduling and property preparation questions through the shoot and final delivery. You will not be passed among a rotating team of photographers or customer-service representatives.

That consistency means I can learn your preferences, understand how you want your listings presented, and provide a dependable experience from one property to the next.

I approach every home with the same care, professionalism, and attention to detail—whether it is a modest starter home, a rural property, or a luxury listing. Just as importantly, I treat your sellers, their homes, and your reputation with respect.

My goal is simple: make your listing marketing process easier and deliver quality media you can confidently place in front of buyers and sellers.

Aerial photo and video

Professional drone photography and video that reveal the complete story of the property—from the home and lot to acreage, outbuildings, neighborhood features, nearby amenities, and surrounding landscape.

Aerial media is especially valuable for rural homes, larger properties, distinctive lots, waterfront settings, commercial properties, and listings where location is a major selling point.

floor plans

Easy-to-understand CubiCasa floor plans help buyers see how rooms connect, evaluate the home’s functionality, and determine whether the layout fits their needs.

Adding a floor plan gives buyers useful information that photography alone cannot provide and helps your listing feel more complete and professionally prepared.

Virtual tours

Give buyers the freedom to explore the property room by room, from any location and at any time.

Zillow 3D Home and Matterport tours help buyers understand the home’s layout, revisit important spaces, and become more familiar with the property before scheduling an in-person showing. They are especially effective for relocation buyers, larger homes, and listings with distinctive layouts..
