What a CRE Drone Pilot & Photographer Does
A commercial real estate drone pilot and photographer produces the visual content that sells commercial property — aerial photography, videography, ground-level architectural photos, and interior shots. FAA Part 107 certified pilots can legally operate drones commercially, producing high-resolution aerial imagery that shows context, traffic patterns, and property condition. For NNN dispositions, aerial imagery is standard.
Key Responsibilities
- Capture aerial photography and video (FAA Part 107)
- Produce ground-level architectural photography
- Create interior photography for multi-tenant assets
- Edit and deliver high-resolution marketing-ready files
- Coordinate airspace authorization for restricted zones
- Produce property tours and 3D renderings when needed
