Every Real Estate Agent Needs to See This!

A real estate agent without a Part 107 certification should avoid taking their own aerial photographs because it is illegal to commercially operate a drone without proper certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Doing so could result in fines and legal consequences up to $10,000, $11,000… per incident! In addition, hiring a non certified recreational pilot is illegal and will cost that pilot fines and potential certification issues down the road.

Hiring a professional aerial real estate photographer brings several benefits. Firstly, certified drone pilots possess the necessary Part 107 credentials, ensuring legal compliance. They have the expertise to capture high-quality aerial images that showcase the property’s features effectively. Professional photographers also understand composition, lighting, and angles, enhancing the visual appeal of the photos. This can significantly impact the property’s marketability, attracting potential buyers or renters. Ultimately, investing in a skilled aerial real estate photographer can elevate the overall presentation of the property, leading to better outcomes in the real estate market.
