About Visual Properties

Starting in 2005, Kyle Ketchel saw a desperate need for better quality marketing in the Real Estate sector. And after working in the residential design world and seeing first hand how difficult it was for buyers to visualize their projects, the need was even greater. So, Visual Properties was started with high quality photography and virtual tours.

Today, we have expanded our services to include more than just photography. Interactive floor plans, Aerial Drone photography, cinematic video, 3D walkthroughs, virtual staging, and best in class online marketing just to name a few.
