Hi. I'm Dr. Doug.
Dr. Doug? Am I really a doctor? Yes, I'm a chiropractor with a passion for drone photography. Drone photography and videography has really exploded within the last few years. I began enjoying small clunky drones then got a taste for the pictures and astounding angles that they can capture that previously you would need a helicopter to see.
I want to help you with my passion.
I have the experience and training in drone piloting that enables me to capture photos of your property that truly expand your Point of View.
These photos of your real estate will help grab the attention of your buyer and let them see the true beauty of your home.
When that is achieved so is the sale of your home.
I'm licensed with the FAA and possess my part 107 certification for commercial drone piloting.
I am also fully insured for each photo shoot.
Dr. Doug has received both Covid-19 vaccinations in February 2021
Real Estate Drone Photography & Video
Real estate drones (also called unmanned aircraft systems, or UAS) are used to capture aerial views of a property’s acreage, home features and highlights. These images and videos used to be reserved for real estate agents showcasing luxury homes, but today the cost of owning a drone or hiring a professional real estate drone pilot are minimal, meaning aerial photography and video fit into the budget for just about any property.
Why use real estate drone photography?
Using aerial photography for real estate creates visual intrigue about a home and is especially valuable for the price. According to Multiple Listing Service statistics, properties with accompanying aerial imagery are 68% more likely to sell than properties without aerial imagery, and that number is only increasing.
You can use aerial real estate photography to show potential buyers a variety of details, including:
-
Encompassing aerial views of the entire property and land
-
The condition of the roof and other property features that can be difficult to assess
-
What the drive home or the kids’ walk to school looks like
-
The neighborhood and surrounding area, including the home’s proximity to amenities
-
Civic developments or local improvement districts that are supported by the buyer’s property taxes
-
Property maps and surveys
Another thing to consider is that including real estate drone photography doesn’t just help sell houses — it sells you as an agent. Doug Christensen, owner of Point of View, specializes in creating aerial footage of houses and helping agents build their brands. The aerial still shots are a quick and easy way to set yourself apart. Think of drone photography as a branding tool.
When to use Real Estate Drone Video
While real estate drones are typically used for bird’s-eye stills or hard-to-capture home exterior shots, you can also use drones to shoot video. Real estate drone video can show an aerial view of the land, a spacious property or an attractive neighborhood.
Agents should think about upgrading from stills to video for luxury properties or homes on acreage. Since larger homes may not be able to capture the full expanse of the property, a video can do this for you. A few short clips will enhance your listing a great deal. You can even end your drone video by flying through the front door, giving potential buyers the impression that they’re walking into their new home.
