Hire an expert like Chris to showcase your listings optimally
A professional drone operator will:
1. Be certified by CASA and insured with public liability insurance
2. Have lots of experience shooting properties
3. Be able to quickly ascertain what kind of shots will show the property in its best light
4. Operate the drone safely and with enough creative skill to present the home optimally
5. In most cases be able to re-touch images and edit the video into a final set of professional media for the listing
The risks of going with a non-professional:
1. Much more likely to crash the drone, putting people and property at risk.
2. Non-CASA certified/approved operators are not able to get insurance, posing a significant business risk to your agency.
3. More likely to get shaky shots, blurry images and not deliver the final files on time.
Why drone shots are on the rise in real-estate
The 'zoomed out' perspective that a drone provides allows the drone operator to bring all of the surrounding features into one shot – the gardens, pool, tennis court or granny flat. A well edited aerial video of a property, with fitting background music can inspire a potential buyer much more so than a regular video.
Aerial shots allow you to confirm the condition of the roof, fence lines, large trees and other property features that are difficult to see from the ground.
Drone shots also show what the drive home or the kids’ walk to school looks like, the drone operator can go up to 400 feet and catch shots of the neighbourhood and surrounding area. Later they can overlay graphics to show the number of km’s to local schools, train stations, hospitals, parks and shopping centres.
Make sure your drone operator knows all the rules set out by CASA and has downloaded this easy-to-use app illustrating where they are not allowed to fly.
