Estate Agents – The Benefits of Drone Photography

If you wanted to take aerial views of your home in the past there was only one option. A photographer would take the shots from a helicopter.

Now you can take advantage of Drone Photography services. A drone will easily capture the images to show off a property to its best advantage.

Marketing Advantages

Buyers don’t want to spend days and days walking around properties. They prefer to browse the internet first and then visit an Estate Agent to arrange viewings.

A good Estate Agent will provide you with a portfolio of suitable properties. It will attract viewers if there are plenty of photographs. Drone photography for Estate Agents makes sure you have photos that stand out from the crowd.

This means you can choose the properties you want to see from the Estate Agent’s web page and saves you wasting a lot of time.

It also helps buyers from abroad. They can take their pick from a portfolio. Then make a list of the properties they want to visit before arranging a trip to the UK. Getting your property out onto a global platform means you have a much wider reach. You’re not only targeting local buyers or people who visit the area. Good aerial photographs allow you to advertise the property anywhere in the world.

As an Estate Agent, you need to offer a service that your competitors have overlooked and Drone photography might just tip the balance between you and another agency. It will give you the edge.

The Benefits to your customer

Drone photography for Estate Agents enables a potential buyer to see a property from every angle. They can look at the roof and make sure that it doesn’t need repairing or window frames and pointing.

Sometimes things don’t come up until completion of the valuation. That’s especially true with roof problems which are difficult to spot from the ground. If your customer has spent money on a survey and it flags up problems, he or she will not be happy. You might lose the sale and the customer, who may decide to use another Estate Agent.

Drone photography also provides information about the surrounding area. This is especially useful for customers viewing the property on the internet. It’s one thing to say spectacular views from the master bedroom. It’s quite another if you can actually show an image of that view.

Other benefits include being able to see if there is adequate parking. Whether there is green space and if the other houses close by are well-kept and cared for.

Services

Aerial photography is not the only service that Rising View can offer. We also provide Aerial Drone and walkthrough video to showcase the property inside and out. A new service we also offer is 360 Virtual Tours which allows the potential buyer to go room to room and browse the property after looking at the aerial photography and video in greater detail. Virtual tours also saves showing people around your property who may have wasted time but at the same time getting people even more interested in your property that pictures alone could not have done. Also allowing nationwide access to your property and even overseas. Commercial properties can also be marketed and in the past we have used the same services to showcase retail parks and hotels.

Cost

Aerial photography is a cost-effect method of getting a property noticed. It is much cheaper than using a helicopter and it’s faster too. A drone can be doing its job in minutes, which means you can have the photographs back in the office on the same day.
