With so much saturation in the real estate agent market, it takes something to stand out. In the past it has been * and now it's time to move on. Add a drone element to real estate listings and your marketing efforts to really be distinctive compared to your competition. Drones provide an entire new real estate experience for both the agent and their clients. Everybody benefits from having beautiful, sky-high shots of neighborhoods and homes.
Creativity:
You can be far more creative with drone footage compared to standard, eye-height pictures. From professional edits to awesome effects and transitions, drones allow you to showcase your properties in Ultra HD 4K resolution. You can also program your drone to do a combination of pictures and film, allowing you to create the best possible mixture that will gather the interest of every viewer.
Time:
By giving prospective buyers and in depth, complete 360* angle at the properties, Real Estate agents will cut down on the amount of properties they show for those who aren't interested. In effect, it will also increase your success rate -- those who actually want to see it in person after already getting a drone view will be more interested, thus more likely to complete the purchase or lease/rental.
Surrounding Areas:
Every prospective buyer or renter doesn't just care about the property, but the surrounding areas. With drones you can provide them that information in gorgeous visuals, while only taking up a few seconds of screen time. From nearby nature to nearby roads and schools, a birds eye view of a neighborhood exposes that beauty as much as possible.
Sellers:
If you are a real estate agent, not only are you fighting for customers who want a property, but you are also trying to get perspective sellers to enlist you as their agent. One of the qualities sellers look for in an agent is the ability to market. Not just on billboards and TV advertisements, but also by being unique and drawing attention by going above and beyond the normal expectations. Drones do just that, and if you add aerial footage to your portfolio, you'll be seeing a lot more sellers coming your way.
Affordability:
Aerial footage is not a new thing with drones when it comes to real estate. In the past, major developers and agencies have used it to market multi-million dollar listings. The difference is that drones are now affordable. Those just entering the profession can master it and provide themselves a distinct edge right from the start. Young or old, experienced or a novice, male or female, anybody can learn how to fly a drone inside and outside of a property in order to be able to get the best still pictures and video footage. Not only can anybody master it, but anybody can afford it, as there are many drones available on the market for just a couple hundred dollars.
