Today we’d like to introduce you to Mark Dean.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
Our company started in Orlando, FL over 2 years ago. We were doing aerial photography in Orlando for a lot of the homes on lakes, or big lots. One day we received a call to come down to Ft. Lauderdale to do a home right by Ft. Lauderdale beach. That home, which we did a full-service interior and exterior video for, eventually opened the door for us to move down full time. We’ve been here about 9 months now and since have worked with some of the top real estate brokerages in South Florida such as One Sotheby’s, EWM, and Douglas Elliman to name a few. We’ve also since expanded outside of Ft. Lauderdale to filming million-dollar condos along South Beach to as north as homes next to Trump’s Mar-a-lago resort in Palm Beach. We go back to Orlando from time to time but most of our business is here in South Florida.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
I couldn’t say it’s always been smooth. With every business there’s picky clients, dropped contracts, and times where there is no business coming in. But if you love what you do then you don’t focus on the things that go wrong but rather you keep focused ahead. You also realize that there’s no problem in business that hard work can’t fix. Plus, with the thousands of million-dollar homes for sale here in South Florida, there’s never a shortage of business for us.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
Galaxy Media is a drone company that specializes in aerial photography, interior photography, and videos for luxury real estate. With the short 9 months that we’ve been out here, we’ve got to work with a lot of the top real estate brokers in South Florida. One of our most high profiled clients would probably be Chad Caroll, who was featured on Million Dollar Listing: Miami.
What sets us apart from others? There’s a lot of things I could say from our efficiency, our costs, or the quality of our work compared to others. All of which I’m very proud of.
But the thing I’d say that sets us apart from others the most would be our customer service. A lot of realtors I work with say they won’t work with anyone else because we’ve built such great relationships on the front end and that trust is there. That’s priceless for some people. I’ve also discovered I have this great ability to make people feel welcomed and comfortable. This helps a lot when the realtors are introducing me to the owners of these properties. It makes the whole process more enjoyable.
What were you like growing up?
Growing up, I was pretty much quiet and kept to myself. It wasn’t until I became older that I became more social. I did have a fascination with jets and planes after watching Top Gun over and over when I was kid. I don’t think that led me to fly drones now though. Haha, or maybe it did and I gravitated towards it subconsciously… Who knows.
