Drone Photography - Should I or Shouldn't I?
The use of drone photography is becoming more prevalent in the marketing of homes, but it should not be used on every listing. The object behind every listing is to drive the most potential buyers to view the property which then brings the highest price. I have recently seen more and more listings of smaller homes on small lots having drone photography, which I don’t understand. Showing how close homes are together and how many vehicles are parked on the streets does not benefit the listing. In fact, it is more likely to show things that will turn potential buyer off then give them a reason to view the listing in person. Drones are great for showing homes on large lots, ranches, bare land, homes with view or back to a green belt or if the homes sits on a hillside and you need to get up higher in order to get a good shot, but not much else. I own a drone and have my FAA part 107 license to legally fly a drone. If you have a property you are thinking about having aerial photography done of, give me a call. I gladly pull the property up on Google Earth and give my opinion if having aerial shots would be beneficial or not.
