Since I already have listings with property views using drones through Synergy Marketing Consultants, it was interesting to see this article: Drones in Real Estate: Soon, But Not Yet.
There's a lot of work to be done, figuring out how drones can be used effectively and safely in real estate: FAA regulations, training for operators, privacy concerns. In the linked article you can watch a video from REALTOR mag, in which they sat down with the regulatory analyst from the National Association of Realtors and talked about how things are developing.
Even though drone use is still fairly limited, I do have two properties that include drone views in their virtual tours! You can see them on YouTube, at the links below:
