REAL ESTATE
Drones have become increasingly popular in the real estate industry as a tool for capturing aerial footage and photographs of properties. This footage can be used to create virtual tours and aerial maps, which can give potential buyers and renters a better understanding of the property and its surroundings. Drones can also be used to inspect properties and construction sites, which can save time and money by allowing professionals to access hard-to-reach areas without the need for scaffolding or other equipment.
The use of drones in the real estate industry is still regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) which have specific rules and regulations for flying drones commercially. Real estate agents who use drones must have a pilot's license, and the drone must be registered with the FAA. The FAA also sets specific guidelines for flying drones, including altitude limits and restricted airspace.
In addition to the FAA requirements, some states and municipalities also have their own regulations for drone usage. So real estate professional should familiarize themselves with the local regulations in the area where they are planning to operate a drone.
