No..I'm leaving it to the professionals! I do what I do best..list and sell and paying those who do what they do best. My grandson has one and is really getting ramped up to do some videos..I'll be happy to pay him.

I've been watching my neighbor fly his drone. It looks like fun. At night it's lighted up and looks like a small alien spacecraft. I would love to get one and buzz my broker's home with it.

Eric has one and we use it for new subdivisions.... aerial photography is eye catching and "the eye buys".... it provides an overhead view of the subdivision.... buyers love it....the builders love it....

I have a cheep one that I used once, but the new ones are more sofisticated and easier to fly, so I am considering it, after I pay $150. and take a written test to get a license and pay more money to register the drone.Then there is the insurance we would need for a business to fly them.  It all takes some thought, time, money and more money.

Silvia,

Our clients get them done professionally.  They are great for large properties, and grand estates.  When it comes to smaller properties you run the risk of the house next door's yard looking like hell.  A

I bought mine at the NAR Convention in Orlando in November 2016 after paying others to take my photos before.  The problem I had with others is they didn't know what I wanted to capture and without seeing the image from above, how could I?
