Drones & Change In Commercial Real Estate!

For those in the hotel or commercial real estate industries, photographing your properties is one of the best ways to get your name out there. In the past, property owners have used online resources or personal connections in order to get in contact with a photographer who can produce the images they desire. However, there's a new photographer in town, and it goes by the name “drone”!

Drones are unmanned aerial vehicles that soar through the air- sometimes with cameras attached to them! They're controlled by remotes held by pilots on land, or are autonomously controlled by computers. The advantage of drones in the commercial real estate industry lies in the ability to capture beautiful aerial photos and videos.

Certain organizations like the FAA are attempting to prohibit the use of drones in this industry. However, the National Association of Realtors is ready to take a stand against the FAA, and work to get approval for drones used for marketing. The rules and regulation vary greatly between different states, but more than 40 states currently allow drone use for commercial real estate purposes. What's truly needed is practical regulations set in place that please both the FAA, and the commercial real estate industry. It's unclear how long it will take to reach an agreement between the two organizations.
