As reported by Inman News, Drones are Ready for real estate. As a Miami real estate agent and a huge fan of innovative technology, I just had to dive in head first. I recently purchased a DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ after reading many articles about how this third generation system has a 14 MP camera, which is capable of capturing 1080 HD video with a rate of 30 fps and a 3-way gimbal, which gives you buttery-smooth, crystal-clear videos. Here, is the first video that I shot using my real estate drone. It is a video of Kennedy Park in Coconut Grove, Florida, which is close to my home:

As you watch my drone video of Kennedy Park*, please understand that this is the very first time that I have ever used any remote controlled quadcopter! As you can see, the video is very clear and stable. Even though my DJI Phantom is rated to climb to 1,000 feet, I was not bold enough to attempt that on my very first flight. I filmed Kennedy Park at 170′, 250′ and then finally at 350′ up.

Since most of my Miami real estate buyers are clients that are relocating to Miami, it is important that they understand what they are buying and more importantly, the community where they are buying. What better way to show off a property than to display it from every angle…especially from high above!

Consider this…you are interested in homes in Coconut Grove, but you are currently in NYC. You want to know how close a specific Coconut Grove home is to the water…Downtown Miami, Miami Beach, etc.. You could pull up Google Maps, but that is boring. My solution? Boom! I send my drone up to 350′ above the home and shoot you a 360° real estate drone video that will show you the home and all of its surroundings.

What about sellers? When I list your property, I will shoot a custom Miami real estate drone video showcasing your home and its proximity to all of the sights that Miami has to offer. Buyers will be more drawn to view your home in person if they have seen an aerial tour of your property and all of its beautiful surroundings.
