Whether you live in one of North Carolina's beautiful rural areas or you live in one of our many busy suburban areas, you’ve probably heard the unmistakable buzz of a drone flying overhead at one point or another. Drones have become popular among recreational enthusiasts and professionals alike, and the real estate industry is taking full advantage of their ability to capture stunning, all-inclusive photos. In today’s post, we’ll explore four of the many benefits of using drone photography to supplement your real estate listings.

​

Why You Should Be Using Drone Photography

​

Relevance

Whether or not you think drones live up to the buzz, there’s no denying that they’re currently popular with a wide range of audiences. Just as you began using various social media channels to keep up with the competition, taking advantage of drone photography will help you and your listings stay relevant in a highly competitive industry. You can even supplement your posts with trending hashtags to get even more views!

​

Uniqueness

While your success as an agent depends greatly on staying relevant, it also depends on home and business owners viewing you as someone who stands out from the crowd. North Carolina has plenty of options when it comes to real estate agents, and making it known that you utilize drone photography is an excellent way to separate yourself from your local competition.

​

Information

As an agent, you want to get your properties off the market quickly for the highest possible price. While drone photography for real estate is still a relatively new service, the initial results are very promising. In addition to showcasing properties from unique and beautiful angles, buyers love being able to see what a property looks like in the context of the surrounding area. Whether your property is located in an open rural area or somewhere in North Carolina's beautiful cities, drone photos can help you give buyers a better idea of what they can expect when they show up for an in-person tour.

​

Marketing

It doesn’t matter if you’re working with one small client or you’re working with a team on several large projects — you’re always marketing yourself with your real estate listings. The listings you put on real estate websites and social media channels are a reflection of your work ethic and dedication to your career, and supplementing your listings with high-quality drone photography is just one more way to do some effective self-marketing while you help your current clients.

We hope that today’s post has helped you to better understand why you should be taking advantage of drone photography for your real estate listings.
