FPV Drones in Real Estate

FPV drones certainly have their place in niche flyer communities, but drones can also fly in other professional industries. Businesses can create engaging content to promote a venue or specific location. Drone fly-throughs are a fantastic way to promote your business!

With luxury homes, presenting the space in its best light is incredibly important. Since buyers of luxury homes often shop remote and look online first, high-quality photos and video are relied upon to make an excellent first impression.

For many residential homes, FPV drones create captivating views from the first-person perspective. The result: potential buyers can feel like they're walking through a home without being there. They start at the front door and 'fly' through the entire layout of a home. FPV drone tours give a better understanding of the floorplan, which can't be done with pictures alone.

FPV in Commercial Real Estate

So, FPV drones can fly through tight spaces and navigate inside hallways. Why use FPV drones when marketing commercial real estate spaces?

Many commercial listings use photos and still images in their marketing. The square footage of many commercial spaces makes it difficult for traditional virtual tours. For 3D tours, where you have to pinch and click the screen to navigate an area, there's too much ground to cover in commercial spaces. In a 2 million sq ft warehouse, how many times would you have to click and drag to tour the entire building?

By flying an FPV drone in a commercial space, you can effectively cover an entire room, warehouse, apartment building, etc. in minutes. FPV Drones can soar over desks and large office spaces with ease, touring an entire office within minutes. You can orbit around a chandelier and fly up escalators to 20 ft to show the height of a space.

Why Use Drones To Market Listings?

To put it simply, investing in FPV technology in real estate can have a big payoff:

#1 Create memorable virtual tours

FPV drones can offer a cinematic experience to the viewer. The more engaging a video, the more strongly a potential buyer might feel towards a property. Drone tours can undoubtedly help a listing stand out among the competition.

#2 Showcase more property features

An FPV flythrough of a home is a great way to understand the home's floorplan better. You can also use drones to soar over the backyard, showcasing pools, landscaping, etc.

#3 Provide more information

Potential buyers ultimately favor listings that have more information. Indoor virtual tours via drone can be an excellent complement to photography listings. When you watch a drone tour, you're ultimately walking through the home without physically being there.

What Are FPV Drones?

The term "FPV" isn't a brand or a model, but it refers to the method of flying. Traditional drones have the pilot control the aircraft from a ground perspective. FPV drones differ because they are piloted from the drone's point of view (first-person view). Both methods use a remote control (RC) to man the aircraft, and both forms can have the live video feed transmitted to another device. However, for FPV, video goggles are a piece of specialized equipment. You can genuinely get the first-person perspective from video goggles compared to a monitor. When a pilot is flying through a home, the goggles give a more immersive experience.
