Well this particular agency is willing to pay for quality photography but I agree this seems to be more of an exception than the norm. Great for me! (and hopefully the agency too)

Yeah, I'll see if they will buy me one! :D
One of the agents I'm working with said the agency actually owns one but they are all afraid to fly it because of the risk of crashing.

Wow, we seem to have hit a nerve.
I will make a note that beachgardener doesn't particularly care for drones or their operators. Gotcha.
There are some things in our modern world I don't particularly care for either, like ATVs. But I recognize they have a place in the world and I'm thankful they are somewhat regulated so there are places I can go where I won't encounter any.
This was more of a practical question rather than a philosophical one. I know some hate drones and others use them in a way that makes people hate them but that isn't the intended topic here.

For example here is a property I was photographing last week. It's in a beautiful, spectacular location but the way it is tucked in makes it difficult to convey in a photo from the ground.

A higher perspective would show that big mountain range beyond the trees, putting the home in context with its bigger surroundings.

Probably to much hassle for now. My friend who did this is selling his because he would spend too much time fiddling with it instead of taking photos. Plus as some of you point put people sure hate them.
Whether or not done footage is necessary is up to the realtor or home owner as far as I'm concerned. Some properties would benefit I imagine and it's good for showing the location, especially is it's big and spectacular.

Thanks, I'm probably going that route. I forgot about that FAA stuff which would add some overhead I'm not really into dealing with.
I have an old ski and photo buddy I'm going to hit up.

I've been getting some real estate jobs lately which I like doing. It's not that hard and they seem to like the photos and the money isn't bad either.
I have a high end realtor who is having me shoot some pretty nice properties and he asked if I did or knew of anyone who does drone footage. I don't have a drone but I know a couple of other photographers who do but I'm not sure I want them in on this gig. My hesitation to include them is that maybe they will compete with me for my clients since they can offer the whole package and I currently do not.
So it makes me consider buying my own drone, especially if it can pay for itself pretty quickly. I have a GoPro Hero 3 that takes reasonable HD video so I'm thinking I could start with that and a DIJ drone.
Any thoughts on all of this I should be considering from any of you who have done it?
