So first we will talk about real estate, over the years things have progressed a lot, there are more options than just going to an open house or scheduling a walk through to see the inside. Now we have all been there where we drive by the outside of a house and wonder if the inside looks as good. And by using technology available today we don’t have to wonder.

A drone is simply photography in the air with this information it will give the real estate agent a much better idea of what they are dealing with and how to list the property. When deciding to use a drone for your agency you can either buy a 500 dollar drone and learn all of the regulations and rules as there is still limited air time for drone’s or you can hire a Certified remote pilot also known as aerial photography. They will fly the drone and make you a HD video for you which can serve as a virtual tour nowadays clients are looking for interactive and realistic. By using this process you can reach a larger market, the better the visual tour the better your chances of reaching a broader audience looking to buy.
