Real Estate

According to some calculations done by RISMedia, listing agents who use drones for real estate could see an increase in listings as high as 73% and deal closing increases as high as 68%. Sold by Air offers that, “83% of home sellers prefer to work with an agent using drones.” With these kinds of numbers, agents can potentially see returns which add up to tens of thousands of dollars per year.

Aerial images used to only be taken using planes or helicopters which require hiring an airplane, a pilot, and an aerial photographer. The barriers for those technologies are typically out of reach for most companies. Drone technology now provides a safer, quieter, more precise, and of course way cheaper solution.

While the cost of purchasing a good drone for real estate is not entirely prohibitive, around $1500 – $3000, flying a drone for real estate does require a learned amount of skill in both piloting a drone and properly using the onboard DSLR camera. As is the case for most endeavors, while you could do it yourself, it’s always best to hire a certified, and well insured professional drone pilot. When hiring a drone pilot for residential or commercial real estate, prices could range anywhere from $150 to $500 dollars and up, depending on the size, location, and desired imagery.
