The Story Behind Southeast 3D Tours


Southeast 3D Tours grew out of Carolina Aerials, LLC — a drone and aerial photography company I've been running across the Southeast. After years of shooting properties from the air, I kept getting the same question: "Can you do the 3D walkthroughs too?"

So I got certified as a Matterport Service Partner and started offering virtual tours. It quickly became clear that Matterport deserved its own brand — different clients, different use cases, different conversations. That's how Southeast 3D Tours was born.

Whether you found me through Carolina Aerials or Southeast 3D Tours, you're getting the same operator, the same attention to detail, and the same simple pricing — $0.14 per square foot, $300 minimum.

Why a Local Operator Matters

Some of the bigger virtual tour companies dispatch whoever's available. You don't know who's showing up, and they don't know the property or the market. I work differently.

When you book a scan, you're booking me — James Richardson, based right here in the Upstate. I handle the scan, the processing, and the delivery. One point of contact, 24–48 hour turnaround.
