Why Fountain Hills agents choose us
Fountain Hills was laid out in 1970 by McCulloch Properties on the hills between the McDowell Mountains and the Verde River, and the terrain is the market. Elevations run from roughly 1,500 to 3,000 feet, almost every street has a grade, and lots are priced on the view: the fountain, the McDowells, Four Peaks and the Superstitions, or the Valley lights to the west. The housing stock runs from 1970s and 80s condos around the lake, to 1990s and 2000s golf communities at Eagle Mountain, SunRidge Canyon and FireRock, to new custom homes in Adero Canyon and Eagles Nest high on the McDowell slopes. Buyers are retirees, second-home owners and luxury move-up buyers, many from out of state and also looking at North Scottsdale.
The view decides the shoot. On a hillside lot the aerial is the one photo that shows the elevation, the drop-off and the mountains at once, so drone is on nearly every order here. Twilight matters more than in most of the Valley: the town is a designated International Dark Sky Community, so the sky goes properly dark, and a deck over the Valley lights or a patio with Four Peaks catching the last sun stops the scroll. A typical home runs 30 to 40 edited HDR photos; view estates run 50 and up.
Pricing is published and the same in every city: photography from $165 by square footage with a free 2D floor plan, drone $100 added to a shoot, twilight from $200 by season or virtual twilight at $50 for five, Zillow 3D from $110, iGUIDE from $155 and luxury packages from $950 for the estates that call for it. Delivery is the next business day.
Two Fountain Hills details. The fountain runs for about fifteen minutes at the top of each hour from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and not in high wind, so an exterior or aerial that wants it in frame is timed to that window. And hillside lots mean split levels, walk-out lower floors and steep driveways, so we shoot the approach honestly and lean on the iGUIDE tour for multi-level plans. Airspace here is largely unrestricted, and we still check every address.
What we plan for on Fountain Hills listings
Elevation and views
Hillside lots are shot from the air so the grade, the drop-off and the mountains read in one frame; drone is on nearly every Fountain Hills order.
Dark sky twilights
Fountain Hills is a Dark Sky Community, so twilights go properly dark; west-facing decks get the Valley lights, east-facing patios get Four Peaks at sunset.
Golf course homes
FireRock, Eagle Mountain and SunRidge Canyon lots are shot with the fairway from the yard and from the air, with gate access arranged ahead.
Timing the fountain
The fountain runs at the top of the hour, so exteriors and aerials that want it in frame are scheduled to that window.
Multi-level plans
Split levels and walk-out lower floors are common, so an iGUIDE tour with measured plans helps a remote buyer understand the home.
