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:

Virtual Tours and Internet Home Searching
Reporting from the National Association of Realtors and Google shows that more and more people are using the internet as part of their home searches. This can mean starting with a Google search for the name of your area and a phrase like "homes for sale," or using the website and online resources of a real estate agent you've selected.
One piece of internet capability that's particularly useful in searching for a home is streaming video. A Google survey reports that home shoppers use videos to learn more about a community, take a virtual tour of the inside of a home, and compare features. If you're looking for a home from afar, consider taking a virtual tour of a home or neighborhood. Ask your realtor about video options, or a set of digital pictures if video isn't available.
Try the home search on the Bray website and use the photo galleries or virtual tours (available on some listings - look for the video camera icon!) to see the listings that interest you. You can use the advanced search options to make sure there are virtual tours or multiple photos: under "Choose Your Display Options," check the box for "Only show listings with virtual tours or [__] or more photos."
