Residential Real Estate Drone Photography

Work in real estate drone photography may involve gathering enough visual data to generate a 3D or orthomosaic map of a property in addition to traditional still images and videos taken from above. These maps can be used by prospective purchasers to get a feel for the area before they commit to a purchase.

Many people engage drone photographers to take aerial shots of the following kinds of properties:

  • Residential real estate. Houses, neighborhoods, and communities

  • Large areas of land. Large properties, country clubs, ranches, and farms

  • Commercial real estate. Shopping centers, office buildings, golf courses, hotels, and hotel complexes are all included in this category.

IS THERE A SPECIAL DRONE THAT IS BEST FOR REAL ESTATE PHOTOGRAPHY?

There are a number of excellent prosumer drone choices available for use in real estate photography.

  • Before we get into our recommended drones for real estate photography, there are a few factors to keep in mind when looking for a camera drone to use for this specific industry.

  • To what degree the camera excels. To take truly professional photos, you'll need a camera built for the task.

  • Energy retention. Considerably more flying time will be required for a business shot than a residential one, so keep that in mind when making your purchase. Running out of batteries in the middle of a project is a major setback.

  • Various configurations for airborne flight. DJI's Intelligent Flight modes are just one example of the pre-programmed flight modes that come standard on some drones and make it easy to capture unique footage with ease. These settings might be helpful whether you're just starting out or are a seasoned veteran looking to wow your real estate clientele with some action photos.

  • Different kinds of payloads. If you plan on upgrading your drone's camera as your skills improve, you should check to see if it supports interchangeable payloads.

Now that you know what to look for in a drone, let's get into a top-rated camera drone for real estate drone photography.

When taking aerial photographs for real estate, do I need a license?

Yes.

The response is completely obvious. Any person who operates a drone for commercial purposes in the United States, such as real estate drone photography, is required by law to obtain a commercial drone pilot licence from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

One of the requirements for getting an FAA certificate is to do well on the Aeronautical Knowledge Test administered by the FAA. This test is also commonly referred to as the Part 107 test. You should be able to find information about the FAA certification standards for commercial drone pilots in this section.


There Are Many Reasons to Prefer UAV Photography

Real estate, High Exposure's aerial photography

Feature the Outdoor Attractions Near Each Property:

Traditional photographs of a home's interior and exterior don't always do justice to the property. Real estate brokers and brokerages can more effectively showcase a property's layout, as well as its outside features like pools and yard space, by making use of aerial imagery.

Focus on the Neighborhood:

Homebuyers assess a variety of criteria, including proximity to major thoroughfares, neighborhood amenities like shops and restaurants, and the quality of nearby parks and schools. You may shorten the time it takes to close new leads and sell homes by taking advantage of drone photography to get a fresh perspective on the neighborhood.
