Drone photography planning and provider comparison workbook
A real estate drone photography conversation is clearer when each provider receives the same aerial-media goals, property context, access, occupancy, sensitive-area, timing and deliverable brief. This helpful preparation resource from PickYourPro.ai helps you compare provider credentials, provider-led airspace coordination, suitability and schedule decisions, aerial shot priorities, editing, delivery, usage and handoff without giving flight instructions or making aviation, privacy, property or safety decisions.

This is an aerial-media proposal-preparation worksheet, not aviation or flight instruction, an airspace determination, authorization or waiver procedure, flight-path or altitude direction, weather or site-safety assessment, privacy or property-line decision, permission or release advice, real-estate or marketing advice, contract interpretation, or legal advice. The provider must make operating decisions; owners and qualified advisers should resolve permissions, privacy, property and legal questions.

Real Estate Photography preparation checklist
- Define the property type, intended media purpose and aerial priorities without posting precise address or security details publicly.
- List priority exterior features, areas to avoid and how aerial work should coordinate with the broader media plan.
- Note access, occupancy, people, animals, neighbors and site-contact facts for the provider to assess.
- Ask the provider to confirm the appropriate FAA remote pilot credential for the proposed work.
- Confirm that the provider will determine airspace and obtain any required authorization; do not direct a flight.
- Ask how the provider decides site suitability, operating conditions, timing, postponement and rescheduling.
- Define aerial deliverables, editing, file formats, delivery, usage, hosting, archive and handoff questions.
- Give every provider the same brief and compare assumptions, exclusions, schedule alternatives and complete proposals.
Questions to ask a drone photography provider
- What appropriate FAA remote pilot credential will cover the proposed work, and how can you confirm it?
- Will you determine the applicable airspace and handle any required authorization and operating decisions for this property?
- How will you assess site suitability, occupancy, nearby sensitivities, operating conditions and schedule alternatives?
- What aerial subjects, perspectives and deliverables do you propose from this brief, and what is excluded?
- What client, owner, site-contact, access, permission or no-capture coordination must be resolved before the appointment?
- What editing, file delivery, usage, hosting, archive, rescheduling, change and final handoff terms are included?
Write down the answers and any exclusions. If two proposals describe different work, clarify the difference before comparing their totals. Leave unanswered points blank until the professional confirms them.

- Federal Aviation Administration: Become a Certificated Remote Pilot ↗
The FAA states that flying under its Small UAS Rule (Part 107) requires a Remote Pilot Certificate. This workbook uses that source only to prompt clients to ask the provider to confirm the appropriate credential; it does not explain how to qualify, operate or fly.
- Federal Aviation Administration: Part 107 Airspace Authorizations ↗
The FAA describes airspace authorization for certain Part 107 operations. This workbook uses that source only to assign airspace review, any required authorization and all operating decisions to the provider; it gives no authorization steps, flight parameters or aviation advice.
