After many grueling months of trials, regulations and laws, drones are finally allowed for usage within the real estate industry, and you better believe we’re catching onto that tail wind. PlanOmatic is now offering Aerial Photography services everywhere in the U.S.!
You’ve seen the stunning imagery before, but we’ll drop these here in case you need a refresher…

Don’t feel bad, we’re drooling too. Want to see more? Let’s goooo.
On July 30, 2016, Giveback Homes, a real estate professional volunteer and donation network, partnered with Habitat for Humanity, an international organization driven to build homes and communities for those in need, to volunteer for Build Day in San Francisco.
PlanOmatic was happy to be the first to ever sponsor and provide photography at the event. Our long-time photographer and account manager, AJ Canaria, had the pleasure of capturing this momentous day which brought volunteers together to work on Habitat Terrace, the largest development of it’s kind in the San Francisco area.
AJ says, “I just absolutely love telling a story through pictures. It was fun following around each one of these groups, getting to know each person as I moved from one building to the next, and capturing them in action doing their specific task. Everyone had a smile on their face and really had a great energy to them. It was a rewarding experience being part of something bigger than myself and taking part and doing something for social good.”
PlanOmatic is proud to sponsor events such as these, which focus on providing everyone a stable home to live in. Working with Giveback homes was a great experience and we can’t wait to see the success they have with future Build Days all across the country and in Nicaragua. We fully support the mission and goals of Giveback Homes and Habitat for Humanity, and we are happy to contribute to such a wonderful cause.

Over the weekend, PlanOmatic donated $600 and had the pleasure of participating in the 2016 Courage Classic, a biking event that strives to raise money for sick children through Children’s Hospital Colorado.
The charity ride took place at Copper Mountain in Colorado and hosted around 2,000 riders with 300 volunteers. The two day bike tour offered a couple different route options each day, offering a 40 mile ride and an 80 mile ride.
CTO, Arie Covrigaru, and Operations Coordinator, Avi Covrigaru biked 40 miles from Copper Mountain, to Vail and back. The ride took about 4 hours in total, not including a lunch break in between. The route was a combination of upward peaks, and downward slopes.
“The most difficult part of the ride for me was the steep incline in the dead center of Vail Pass. I struggled to keep peddling on my lowest gear while I watched people dismount and walk. At certain points I had to stop and stretch in order to keep my legs fresh. As grueling as the ride was at this stage, it was moments like this that gave me the sense of accomplishment I felt upon completion,” says Avi.
Though the trail was difficult at points, the PlanoTeam also enjoyed moments of peace and beauty which made it a success. Arie claims, “There was a lot of excitement about this ride. Most riders were CU Children hospital employees and their families. The village at Copper was as full, as colorful and as lively as I have seen it during snowboard season. In addition, the landscape was majestic and I enjoyed it tremendously, when I was not busy paddling uphill.”
PlanOmatic had a great journey and we intend on participating again next year! To learn more about the Courage Classic, visit their website:

PLANOMATIC CEO, KORI COVRIGARU, LOOKS BACK ON 10 YEARS OF BUILDING A MARKET LEADER
PlanOmatic is thriving thanks to your continued business and support! Check out our recent features and publications in the media:
PlanOmatic is proud to announce that we have made the Inc. 5000 list for the 2015 year!
Every year, Inc. 5000 evaluates companies in North America and produces a list, ranking the fastest growing privately owned businesses. This year PlanOmatic ranked #933 with a 479% 3-year growth!
PlanOmatic is honored to be on this prestigious list among other incredible companies that are working hard to change the landscape of American businesses. We want to thank all of our supporters and our loyal clients who have gotten us to this point of recognition. We appreciate your continued business as we strive to reach great heights in the real estate industry together. Getting to this point certainly required tremendous efforts and determination from the PlanO-team to be able to overcome serious challenges, as we will continue to do as we press forward.
PlanOmatic began as a team of two back in 2005, with our founders, Kori Covrigaru and Aaron Rose. A friendship sparked into a business relationship as the two started the company during their senior year at Western Michigan University; and thus, PlanOmatic was born. After planting the PlanO-seed in Grand Rapids, MI, the company branched out to Miami, FL and continued expanding as business and clientele grew.
Today, we have a headquarters team of 36 and over 100 photographers and technicians that work in over 20 states. There are a number of things that we would say makes PlanOmatic great, including the quality of our products and services, the innovative technology incorporated into the field and daily business operations, and our fantastic customer service. More so than a list of attributes though, is what lies at the heart of PlanOmatic – the people. “We have been building an amazing team and a family that strives for the same goal – success for this company and success for our clients,” says Covrigaru.
As a company, PlanOmatic has learned the keys to growth through experience and evaluation. The success we have experienced is not so much a destination as it is a journey. We are constantly discovering ways to provide quality service and technology to our agents in this competitive market to keep them a step ahead of the curve. We can’t wait to see what the upcoming years will bring. Cheers!
