Drones present a new and exciting technology for the real estate industry. Not only do they allow for a birds eye view of a property, but additionally they can serve as a convenient way to inspect a roof and other parts of a home. For those who have suffered severe pandemic quarantine from life and WiFi here’s a brief explanation regarding drones. Drones can be summed up as an aircraft that does not have a human pilot on board. We have all seen them ... that small craft flying low in the residential and commercial air that causes everyone to watch, point and fear for their continued and future privacy and safety.
The Growing Use of Drones
Drones have been around for some time. You may have recently heard about one illegally landing on the White House lawn or perhaps be familiar with the military's use of drones in warfare. No matter the application, drones have big potential.
The use of drones as a hobby is allowed, but with certain requirements. For instance, the drone must be flown no higher than 400 feet above the ground and the operator must maintain visual contact with the drone at all times. By 2020, the FAA has estimated that over 30,000 small drones will be utilized for business purposes.
Drone use in the Real Estate Industry
These "unmanned aerial vehicles" have huge promise in the real estate industry for the purpose of real estate marketing. Imagine viewing a new property through aerial footage. The marketing possibilities are endless and truly a unique opportunity exists for this type of photography and videography.
A drone can easily be equipped with a high-resolution camera enabling it to shoot video and capture still images that would not otherwise be obtained. A potential buyer can view the photos or video and can experience what the land looks like, the architecture of the home and get a feeling for the size and layout of the property.
While federal rules have yet to be finalized for the commercial Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), realtors can still complete an application for a Section 333 waiver. This waiver allows for a limited-use permit with multiple restrictions for safety will operating the machine. Among one of the qualifications is that the machine must be made in the USA as the FAA will not register an Unmanned Aerial System that is registered by any foreign government.
