Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the wonderfully weird world of real estate with the one, the only, Andy Blackburn! This ain't your grandma's stuffy agent, folks. We're talking a REALTOR® with RE/MAX Real Estate Group Erie who's as approachable as a puppy and a personality that could charm the socks off a centipede.
Oh, and did we mention he might be a slight Penn State fan? Just a hunch. 😉
I recently had the pleasure of wrangling the delightful Mr. Blackburn in front of my lens for a personal brand photography session, and let me tell you, this dude is the real deal. Forget those stiff, corporate headshots that look like they were taken with a potato – Andy wanted to show off the real him. And boy, did he deliver!
So, what makes Andy tick? Andy's not just slinging houses: he's got a whole arsenal of marketing magic up his sleeve, including some seriously cool drone photography (more on that later, folks!). He knows that in today's wild world, you need visuals that pop and tell a story. And his story? It's one of knowledge, experience, and a genuine desire to help you find your happy place.
What's the Dealio?
So, what exactly does Andy do? Besides rocking the real estate scene, he's also your go-to guy for:
Helping people buy and sell houses (duh!) and other properties.
Creating killer real estate marketing videos that make houses drool-worthy.
Immersive 3D tours that let you virtually walk through your dream home in your pajamas.
Stunning drone photography that gives you a bird's-eye view of potential properties. (Told ya!)

Andy Had this to Say about Zdarko Photography…

Keep your eyes peeled for Andy's "good neighbor day" marketing plan in September – sounds intriguing! Plus, he's planning a series of "how to buy" videos on TikTok. Get ready for some bite-sized real estate wisdom!
Behind the Scenes with Andy:
During our shoot, Andy was game for anything. We talked about showcasing his drone skills, his marketing materials, and even the possibility of wrangling some of his awesome RE/MAX colleagues for a few shots. He's all about showing the collaborative spirit of his office.
He specifically wanted to avoid those dreaded, lifeless headshots of the past. He was after something that screamed: "This guy knows his stuff, but he's also a human being you can actually talk to!"
Why Choose Andy? He Spills the Beans:
"Service and communication. I always have time for all my clients. When I list a home I have a vision for how that home should be marketed, so I like to do all the marketing myself in most situations, including taking and editing my own listing photos and making marketing videos for my listings. I am a certified Part 107 drone pilot so I also include drone photos and video when appropriate."
Basically, Andy is a one-stop shop for all your real estate needs, and he cares deeply about getting it right. He's not just trying to make a sale; he's building relationships and ensuring his clients feel supported every step of the way.
