Exploring Drone Photography for Real Estate Marketing

Real estate drone photography and videos are gaining popularity amongst real estate professionals. Experts have already found that 83% of sellers prefer to work with agents who use drones to promote their properties.

The drone is mostly used to show aerial views of a luxury property’s manor, home features (interior of a home), and other property foregrounds. Drones have demolished the antique and expensive way of capturing the estate- Yes, it is like a helicopter with a camera!

Aerial Photography is upping the game in Real Estate

Using them we can create dramatic shots with features like automatic point-of-interest camera targeting, making for professional real estate photos that will be more attractive to buyers.

They can also give us a close-up bird’s eye view, focus on details of certain parts of the house that a photographer would be unable to reach. Smaller drones can also be used to capture wider angles and more dynamic shots of living space.

This is an era of advanced technology which pulls clients’ attention, aerial images, and videos to engage with clients dramatically. And this can lead to a humongous advantage to stand out among competitors and generate more business.

Limitations of Aerial Photography in Real Estate

More and more cities worldwide are asking for a license to drive drones. So instead of doing it yourself, hiring a professional drone driver sounds like a more feasible option.

There are also privacy concerns. Before real estate agents or home sellers launch a drone to photograph a property, they should talk to their neighbors and notify them in advance to avoid conflicts.
