home from above. Now, you can make it happen affordably with drones. Drones have a variety of uses, one of which is to show off the high value of your home to potential buyers. As regulation continues to shape the future of drones and their legal use by civilians, you can still stay ahead of the crowd by hiring a licensed drone photographer or getting the license to fly one yourself. Drone photography gives you an advantage over other sellers in that it: • Provides a “big-picture” view. You can give potential buyers a complete view of your property by an aerial photograph or video. This is something that most homeowners never see for themselves for as many years as they have been in their homes. The house, the yard, the distance from neighbors—this is a valuable shot. • Shows the road home. If you choose to have the drone capture video footage, you can take the potential buyers on a ride up the street to your home and even pull up into the driveway and walk them to the front door. Whether you’re doing it yourself or hiring an experienced professional, be sure to draw up a plan. Map out the route, plan the time of day, and be prepared to take multiple photographs or video shots to give yourself options. Do you want to benefit from the lighting effects of sunrise or sunset? Do you want to catch the school bus route? Do you want to include wildlife around your property, such as deer? Think ahead. Planning the details will help your drone project move smoothly and provide a valuable finished product.
