Drones Help Real Estate Sales Soar

July 3, 2015 by Alan Phillips 9 Comments

(Source: portlandtribune.com)  

Jesse Dill recently brought in a crew of amateur actors to play volleyball, toss a Frisbee around and enjoy a barbecue on a $1.2 million property he was selling for a client.

While the actors had a blast, Dill had a drone buzzing overhead to capture video. Stir in a little music and the real estate broker had a mouth-watering commercial that would bring in potential buyers from far and wide.

Real estate brokers such as Dill are on the cutting edge of using drone photography, and other businesses and organizations are taking note.

“I think it has been a game-changer for marketing and selling properties,” said Dill, 37, who has a small sales team based at the Keller Williams Sunset Corridor office in Tanasbourne. “I’m seeing more and more (use of drones), but there’s still a lot of agents that aren’t doing it.”TIMES PHOTO: JAIME VALDEZ – Jesse Dill demonstrates how he uses a drone to capture photographs of the property he sells.

Dill said more than 90 percent of real estate buyers use the Internet to look for their next home, making eye-popping videos and photos all the more important. An impressive sales campaign also gets shared through social media and already has resulted in new customers for Dill, who now does still photography with his own drone but hires out for more complex video work.

“Buyers just love it. You’re able to do more business and take care of more people,” he said. “We actually had buyers coming from out of town who wanted to see (a property) based on the drone photography.”

Dill demonstrated his drone camera’s photography capabilities recently while conducting a test flight over The Round in Beaverton. His iPhone, loaded with a special app and synced to multiple satellites through its GPS system, allowed him to get a drone’s-eye view from high above The Round with his feet still firmly planted on the ground.

A few days later, Dill volunteered to take photographs at the same location during Last Tuesday to illustrate the Beaverton Area Chamber of Commerce’s Community/Visitor Guide and Business Directory.
