7 Reasons Why Realtors Are Using Aerial Photography For Neighborhood Amenities

When we change our perspective…

we change our experience.

According to the multiple listing service (MLS), homes and properties with drone images are up to 68% more likely to sell than those without them.

Have you considered using aerial photos to better market the neighborhood amenities for your listings? Maybe you're already using drone photography for your properties. But what about those neighborhood hot spots like pools, clubhouses, tennis courts, and other selling points?

Here are 7 reasons why we think you should start using neighborhood drone images for your listings:

1. What you see is what you get.

   With one glance buyers can see pool size, lap lanes, hot tubs, kiddie pools, water slides, basketball courts, number of tennis & pickleball courts, soccer fields, club house size, playgrounds, trails, docks, etc.

2. An aerial view helps buyers better understand the neighborhood layout.

   Ever get lost trying to navigate out of someone’s neighborhood? Sometimes it’s difficult to get an overview of the neighborhood without a bird’s eye view.

3. Emotional buy-in.

   When buyers are comparing two almost identical homes, chances are they will be more drawn to the one with aerial photography because it evokes a deeper emotional connection to the property and the neighborhood’s lifestyle.

4. Stay relevant in today's market by using the latest technology.

   Bottom line - homeowners are impressed when they see Realtors using the latest marketing trends and technology. When you offer drone photography not only of the property but also the neighborhood and surrounding area, you instantly gain more credibility and appeal than your competition when it comes to securing a new listing. And you can rest assured that our team stays on top of trends, using the latest drone technology to provide you with high quality images to exceed industry standards.

5. Show proximity of key amenities to your listing property.

   Did you know we can add text to your aerial images? Just let us know when you place your order to add arrows and/or text showing proximity of your listing to all those wonderful community hot spots.

6. Certain properties simply demand more.

   Let’s be honest, aerial drone photography is not for every listing. But for listings located in communities that offer loads of amenities, are within walking distance to shopping and restaurants, or feature breathtaking views, you can bet your bottom dollar those drone photos will impress buyers (and sellers).

7. And lastly...they look really really cool. ;)
