It wasn’t too long ago that the thought of drones painted imagery of flying to work in spaceships and teleporting from one place to another. The idea seemed very far-fetched. But then again, it wasn’t too long ago that the idea of technologies such as the Internet and smartphones were just a dream, as well. Times and technologies are changing, and drones are actually finding their way into mainstream uses fairly quickly.
As U-T San Diego reports, San Diego’s Realtors have taken a particular interest in the opportunities and benefits that can be obtained from the usage of drones. While currently drones aren’t likely to be found downtown, it seems only reasonable that they’ll be helping to sell downtown condos in no time.
If you’re wondering how drones fit into the real estate world at all, you’re certainly not alone. It’s quite an interesting evolution whereby Realtors are taking advantage of the drones’ ability to fly much lower than helicopters to obtain shots of property that otherwise may not have been possible. The goal is to create a story. By using wide shots and close-ups, stills and videos, Realtors can create a story of each property that helps to convey the emotion of the area. In some instances, the companies that own the drones offer a menu of uses, from providing the agents with raw images to giving them full-fledged video productions, inclusive of interviews.
Commonly, the drones are being used to showcase homes that are perched upon sprawling open spaces. With downtown San Diego’s real estate popularity on the rise, it seems a natural progression that creative people will get their hands on this technology and find ways to highlight the skyline views or rooftop decks of condos around the downtown area. Keep your eyes peeled! You never know when you could look into the sky and see a high-tech bird taking pictures of the world below.
