In Malaysia, drones have also been fundamentally changing our societies and how photographs and picture recordings have been done previously. Drones are now benefiting many industries from video production, filming, entertainment, agriculture, construction, mining and quarry, safety and security, cargo courier and many others.
This unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is referred to as a small tiny aeroplane without a pilot, it's a driverless machine that takes a spectacular aerial view of a space. To us all, it is simply called the Drone. It is built with sensors and GPS for navigation. Historically it was used by the military but now there are available drones for commercial and individual use available in the market, and more so for real estate.
The Drone usage in the real estate sector, specifically in Land Sales is to ease visualisation, for property development and land valuation. Drone is good to cover a vast area as it aids in the land topography to be easily viewed. This is done through a 360 degree view and with an aerial view mapping image taken.
Other areas in real estate are high rise as drones have the capability to capture aerial views of high rise buildings for property marketing and virtual tours. With an aerial view, it provides the buyer a unique perspective and understands the surrounding better in terms of landscaping, amenities and its neighbouring development. This is used by many property developers from Project Marketing.
Property developers largely use it for property site inspection, on top of marketing. It is now used for checking of building facades, rooftops, and inspecting buildings; this will greatly reduce the need for risky and manual jobs, especially for high-rise and high condominiums. The usage of drones bring many benefits, according to some sources agents that uses these to list properties sees an increase in listings as high as 73% and with this deal closing increases to 68% - Source by RISMedia
