Aerial imagery for any parcel, about ten minutes after you get it under contract.
Put in the APN. Dirt Flight builds the boundary from county parcel data, then renders the top down aerial, the four cardinal 3D views, an 18 second orbit around the tract, the topo, and a social kit that is ready to post. Nothing waits on a pilot, a quote, or the weather.
A parcel goes under contract on Monday. Most listings sit dark until the next Monday.
Two or three days for a quote. Two or three more before anyone drives out. Another few for the edit to land in your inbox. Meanwhile the listing is live with one grainy screenshot on it, and the buyers who scroll past do not come back.
Three steps, and none of them involve a calendar.
We do not hire drone pilots. Every view is rendered from licensed aerial imagery and public elevation data.
We pull the parcel
State, county, APN. Or the address if that is all you have. Adjoining parcels can be entered together and merged into one boundary, so a two APN tract reads as one piece of ground.
We render every view
The engine takes the best available imagery for that ground, drapes it over the elevation model, traces the boundary, and works through the shot list. Top down, four obliques, orbit, topo, access, land health.
You download and post
One zip with full resolution files, MLS sized files, and the social kit. A shareable listing page comes with it, along with an embed code for your own site.

Relief and coverRelief, cover and access are the whole pitch on recreational ground. The topo and the orbit show all three.

Owners who just want to see their place
No listing requiredNo listing, no agent, no reason beyond wanting a good look at your own ground. Plenty of people order a pack for exactly that, and the orbit video hanging on a screen at the farmhouse is worth the ten minutes.
Dirt gets the listing up.
Paydirt gets it shared.
Same parcel, same ten minutes. Paydirt adds the maps that answer buyer questions and the social kit that does the posting for you.
One link you can text to a buyer.
Every pack comes with a hosted page holding the full gallery, the orbit video and the parcel facts. Send the link, or drop the embed code into your own site.
What people ask before their first parcel.
Do you send a drone pilot out to my property?
No. We do not hire drone pilots. Every view is rendered from licensed aerial imagery and public elevation data, which is why nothing waits on a quote, a flight window or the weather.
How long does it actually take?
About ten minutes from the moment you enter the APN. Get a parcel under contract in the morning and you can have it listed and posted before lunch.
Do I need the owner's permission or an FAA waiver?
Nothing flies, so no. The views are rendered from already licensed aerial imagery and public elevation data. No overflight, no airspace approval, no permission to chase before you can market the parcel.
What does it cost?
A flat fee per parcel, two packages, no travel charge and no minimum order, because nobody drives out to the property. Current pricing goes out with your invite.
How accurate is the boundary line?
Boundaries are derived from public GIS and county tax parcel data. They are approximate and they are not a survey. Acreage, boundary lines and road frontage figures are for marketing and illustration, so keep them out of legal descriptions, construction and property line disputes.
Where does it work?
All fifty states. If a county publishes parcel data, we can render the parcel, and most of the country does. If yours turns out to be one of the holdouts you will hear it from us before anything gets charged.
How current is the imagery?
One to three years old for most parcels. Every render pulls the most recent licensed coverage available for that county, out of USDA NAIP and other licensed sources.
Can I use these on MLS, Zillow and Land.com?
Yes. The zip has full resolution files and a set sized for MLS and the listing portals, plus the social kit for Instagram and Facebook.
Can I put my brokerage logo on it?
Yes, on Paydirt. Your logo goes on the imagery and on the shareable listing page, so what you send a buyer carries your name and not ours.
What about two parcels sold as one tract?
Enter the APNs separated by commas. Adjoining parcels get merged into a single boundary, the way a buyer sees the ground.
Why is it invite only right now?
Because we would rather run a short list well than a long one badly. Ask for an invite and you go in the order requests come in.
Tell us where you work and how many parcels you run.
Every state is live. Invites go out in the order requests come in, and we move faster for people running parcels every month.
