HARFORD COUNTY REALTOR TAKES TO THE SKIES TO SELL HOMES

Robert McArtor with RE/MAX Components is using a high-flying marketing technique that is taking selling homes to a new level. He uses a Quad Copter to capture bird's eye views of properties he sells

Bel Air, MD. - Robert McArtor with RE/MAX Components represents less than 1% of agents Nationwide that is using drone technology commercially to sell houses in the Baltimore Metro area. "It has taken me several months to learn this method...to compile and modify the equipment", Robert said. "I believe Sellers realize that Buyers are looking for more when searching for homes".

4 out of 5 Buyers in Harford County start their home search on the internet. Beyond affordability, Robert believes that one of the first things they look for are pictures, videos, etc. "Typically a visual or virtual tour is simply a slide show with fancy music...buyers are looking for more".

I am now going to give Buyers the ability to experience the property for sale like a Hollywood-Style Trailer coupled with a Full Motion High Definition Walk-Through Tour.

"Every listing deserves a High Definition Aerial Tour and I will deliver!", Robert says.

If the property has a huge yard, a pool or a lot of acreage that needs to be showcased, this is a great tool to use. “Right now there is a lot of buzz in the air,” Robert said. “People want their property to have this first, so it’s going to be busy. I'm going to be busy.”

Unmanned drones were first developed as military technology, but are increasingly being used for commercial purposes.

Online retailer Amazon.com announced in December it is testing octocopters to deliver packages to customers in as little as 30 minutes, and could see widespread use in four to five years.
