DRONES SEND REAL ESTATE TO NEW HEIGHTS
I
N RECENT YEARS, DRONES HAVE BEEN USED FOR A WIDE RANGE OF THINGS. They have been used by the military for surveillance beyond enemy lines. They have been used for entertainment and have even become a popular Christmas present that can connect to WIFI and be controlled by your smartphone. Drones have been used for monetary purposes, too. In 2013, Amazon released a concept video where it used drones to deliver packages to customers. Today, companies across the nation are using drones in commercial and residential real estate. Pelican Drones, a company based out of Pensacola, is using drones to provide premium aerial photography, videography and industrial drone services. by Gina Castro • photo by Chris Tonn/Pelican Drones
“It’s a great tool to highlight the surrounding amenities and businesses, places of interest or water proximity,” Pelican Drones owner Chris Ton said. “It’s the full package here because in Florida, we have so much water, golf courses and neat natural resources, but to add a little bit more of a punch to the listing, an aerial shot goes a long way.” Pelican Drones uses drones to take aerial photos or cinema quality videos of homes or businesses to capture the entire property. You can use Pelican Drones to show how close your home or business is to schools, the beach, interstates or night life. Pelican Drones can also enhance your video project with voice-over, text overlay, licensed music and 3D animations. Multiple Listing Services nwflbusinessclimate.com | Business Climate | 25
