Many people have seen a drone, such as at an outdoor festivity, but have never used one. This tiny aircraft, originally for military use, is now available for everyday use, by adults and children alike. As a real estate agent, you may wonder if they could be of any use to you. The good news is that they can! But how? Drone photography is advantageous for your real estate listings. Keep reading to find out how.

1. Best Way to Show the Location

Put yourself in the shoes of your potential buyers. Are they parents? Do they work far from home? Do they share a car? Asking questions like this will determine the type of photos that will attract that particular client. 

Aerial photography can show the home’s proximity to desired locations of the family. Photos of real estate near schools, parks, and shopping centers will appeal to parents. If the home is near a major highway exit, this would be a great aerial photo to have for clients with long commutes to work.

2. Provides a Full Scope of the Property

Sometimes, a regular photoshoot doesn’t show how large the real estate and property are in person. Statistics show that 84% of first-time homebuyers use the internet to search for a property. The images of the home you have on your website must be invaluable.  

With aerial drone photography, you give your potential buyers a bird’s eye view of the home, balcony, yard, driveway, and other features on the property. Drones, the devices used to capture the images from drastic heights, can help clients envision the final look of their dream home. Virtual staging and aerial photos can work hand in hand, where clients may want to view outdoor ideas such as cars in the driveway and patio furniture.

3. Creates a Unique Service Feature

Take some time to look at your competitors’ websites. How many of them showcase properties from sky-high views? Some may have aerial photography, but most of them do not. Aerial drone photos are not common among real estate agents. Having these type of photos available for your clients not only makes you stand out, but shows that you go above and beyond expectations.

4. Currently a Media Trend

Think back to the last movie you saw in theaters. How many times were scenes shown overlooking the ocean and city? They happen more often than you think. Directors and filmmakers know that these types of visuals are eye-catchy and intriguing. Aerial photos, more importantly aerial cinematic videography, are popular trends that dominate the media industry.

5. Convenient and Versatile

Last but not least, aerial photos are quick and efficient. Imagine how much work is put into a regular photoshoot: lighting, constant moving and angling, carrying equipment, etc. Using drone technology, professional photographers and videographers don’t have to spend a lot of time capturing these views. The small size of a drone can ascend higher to avoid shadows, fit into smaller areas that people cannot, and fly faster than photographers can walk. Capturing aerial photography can take a photographer much lesser time than trying to perform all of the real estate photos on his own.
