Drones & Residential Real Estate
It hardly detracts from the story line, but it’s not exactly the case that real estate brokers now have their own drones*, which they make available to their agents 
(pictured at left: fictional Realtor Phil Dunphy operating said drone).
Rather, professional photographers are adding aerial shots taken by drones to their repertoire, and making that option available to agents for — as they say — an “up charge” (rather hefty, too).
Great idea for an estate-like setting, or for a home with a sprawling layout.
Hard to justify for a typical listing.
