The Rise of Drone Photography in Real Estate Marketing

Real estate marketing has changed. A few photos used to be enough. Not anymore. Buyers want a full picture — literally.

That’s why drone photography has become one of the most important tools for realtors. Aerials show off neighborhoods, backyards, pools, and nearby amenities. They give buyers context. And context sells.

According to MLS data, listings with aerial images sell 68% faster than those without. That’s a huge advantage in a market as competitive as Tampa Bay.

Anthony Cuffaro is FAA-certified and specializes in real estate drone media. As the owner of Gulfcoast Drone Media, he provides aerials that are not only breathtaking but also safe and compliant. With a degree in Unmanned Systems and years of field experience, Anthony understands how to combine technology with storytelling.

Buyers love aerials because they answer questions. How big is the yard? What’s the street like? How close are the neighbors? A drone photo or video eliminates guesswork.

For realtors, drone photography is also branding. It positions you as forward-thinking and modern. It shows clients that you invest in their property’s success.

The cost of drone media is small compared to its impact. Especially when paired with professional photos and social media shorts. Together, they create a complete visual package that captures attention and builds trust.

In Tampa Bay, where lifestyle is everything, drone photography gives your listings the edge. Gulfcoast Drone Media is here to help you stand out from the first click.
