Best real estate pictures ever! I wouldn’t trust anyone else to deliver this quality for the price, Tyler does an amazing job and is extremely professional and talented! Everything is very fairly priced and the outcome is perfect every time. Great customer service and the product is consistently amazing. I look forward to using Optica in the future for every listing!

Isabella Correa
Tyler was amazing I always use him for my photography, I've been a bit of a needy client but he is always there to go above and beyond! Highly recommend!
André Suissa
I'd highly recommend Tyler, who is incredibly talented at real estate drone photography. I run a commercial appraisal business. I have had Tyler take drone photos of a small 1-acre pad site to 500-acre+ sites for my appraisals, some of which were improved. The quality of the footage, the number of photos he provides, and the varies angles he gets significantly enhances my analysis, and does better than any physical inspection of land. My clients are impressed by the drone photos. Tyler is always professional, super easy to work with, and quick to respond. I include one sample of an excellent photo of floodplain land that would have been impossible to get to without being waste high in mud.
Hayden Franks
Working with Optica is truly a 5 star experience.
Mike Rubinov
Tyler of Optica is a pleasure to work with. I have used him on 3 of my properties.
He is professional, extremely punctual and got the photos back very quickly. The photos were great and I had a few special requests that he was more than accommodating for.
Would recommend Optica to anyone and everyone. 5/5
Stephanie Post
Tyler is super talented! In fact, his photography is what led me to fall in love at first sight with my new home that I recently purchased. I will definitely be hiring him for subsequent jobs! Plus, he’s very kind and generous to work with, which is also important in any professional relationship! Thanks, Tyler!
Blaine Walker
We hired Tyler to photograph our home, and he was thorough and detail-oriented while capturing the essence and spirit of the property. He was also warm, helpful, and genuinely pleasant to work with throughout the project. After our appointment, he generously worked with us to make sure we had the images we needed for additional uses. We can’t recommend him enough!

Laura Tomaszewski, REALTOR
Tyler Jackson's photos are amazing! He makes every property look wonderful in image as it does in person (maybe even better). Colors are true. He gives fastidious attention to best angle to show the flow of the room you are in and the flow into the space beyond. His quick social media videos are immensely informative and helpful to marketing and his drone work show the property well. Added bonus, Tyler's helpfulness and responsiveness is second to none. Tyler makes me look like a rock star to my clients. Thank you, Tyler! I highly recommend Tyler's photo. drone, video, and digital services.

Elaziel Roche
I've been working with Tyler for a while now, and every time, I am absolutely in love with the pictures he delivers. From capturing the perfect drone angles to creating incredibly polished and professional headshots, his work is consistently top-notch.

Beyond his amazing photography skills, Tyler is simply a joy to work with. His positive attitude, creativity, and attention to detail make every session effortless and enjoyable. If you're looking for a photographer who truly knows how to bring out the best in every shot, I 100% recommend Tyler!

Why Empty Listings Fail

Let’s be real—selling an empty house is tough. Here’s why:

●  Vacant rooms feel cold and lifeless.
●  Buyers can’t imagine furniture placement or room functionality.
●  Unstaged homes sit on the market longer—and sell for less.
●  Traditional staging is expensive, slow and a logistical nightmare.

If your listing isn’t making an emotional impact, you’re missing out on buyers.

Commercial Virtual Staging

First impressions matter in commercial real estate, too. Whether you’re leasing office space, retail units, or flex properties, our commercial virtual staging helps potential tenants or investors see the value.

We digitally stage:

  • Office spaces
  • Retail storefronts
  • Industrial
  • Lobbies and common areas

This is perfect for developers, brokers, or property managers looking to market empty units faster and more effectively.

Why You Need Virtual Staging

Let’s face it—today’s homebuyers and renters start online and photos are everything. If your listing photos don’t grab interest in the first few seconds, buyers move on. That’s where virtual staging comes in.

Here’s why you need it:

●      Empty rooms don’t inspire imagination – People need to see how a space could work for them.

●      First impressions happen online – If your listing looks bare or boring, you’ve lost them before the showing.

●      Real staging takes time and money – Virtual staging is faster, easier and way more affordable.

●      Virtual staging makes listings stand out – In a competitive Austin market, a beautifully staged image gets attention.

●      It turns browsers into buyers – Staged homes help people emotionally connect which leads to faster offers.

Whether you’re selling, renting or marketing a space, virtual staging gives your property the edge it needs to get noticed—and sold.

Traditional Staging vs. Virtual Staging in Austin

In a hot market like Austin, every day your listing sits vacant is a missed opportunity. While traditional staging can make a home feel lived in, it comes with high costs, tight schedules and major logistics.

Here’s how virtual staging stacks up:

Traditional Staging

Virtual Staging (Optica)

Cost $2,000+ for full home staging Starting at a fraction of the price
Turnaround Time Several days to a week 24–48 hours in most cases
Flexibility Fixed furniture styles and layouts Unlimited design styles + easy revisions
Logistics Requires movers, storage, and scheduling 100% digital, no furniture or fuss
Scalability Not practical for multiple or lower-priced homes Perfect for multiple listings and any price point
In short, virtual staging gives you all the visual appeal without the time, hassle or cost—which is especially useful in a fast paced city like Austin where buyers are swiping through listings fast.
