Note: Using Drones is Not Always an Option
While using a drone can be an excellent option when you are looking into buying a property, there are important considerations you need to know.
First, there are laws around where and when you can fly drones, record video and take photos. In Canada, the right to privacy is extended to any location where a person has a ‘reasonable expectation of privacy,’ this means that you cannot capture pictures or videos that show people in their homes or yards in any way that is not visible from the street. So, that means you cannot record footage or take pictures that show people’s backyards or into their homes.
There are also laws around where you are allowed to fly a drone due to airspace regulations. These laws can dictate where you fly, how high and whether you need a license to operate the drone to begin with.
Using a Drone Pilot
So, if you are unsure if you are allowed to fly or record in a certain spot, you may be better off hiring a licensed drone pilot to capture your footage. After all, while they already have experience using drones, they also know the laws and regulations.
Remember Using Drones Gives a Unique Perspective For Property Listings
If you are looking to sell a property, you may still want to look into using drones to record photos and videos to show off your listing. That way you can capture unique photos and videos that will help your listing stand out amongst the crowd.
So, if you are interested in learning more about using a drone to market or investigate a property, go out and find someone who has one and ask them to give it a try. Even if you do not prefer the result, drones are still plenty of fun so you have nothing to lose. If you like it, then go out and buy one. That way you can experience the difference that these wonderful tools can make for you and your investments.
