While current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rules prohibit the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly called drones, for commercial purposes, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) has sent a letter to the FAA asking for an exception since their motives have nothing to do with safety concerns. The NAR says being able to show prospective customers an aerial view of a property would be an exceptional marketing tool that could contribute to the business development of the real estate industry as well as many others. Representing over one million real estate professionals, according to housingwire.com, the NAR says in its letter: “The use of UAV technology by the real estate industry is simple compared to other applications such as land surveying or law enforcement.”MHProNews understands drones could also be very effective in scoping out plans for a manufactured housing development. ##
