FAQ
Do you need FAA authorization to fly in Waco and the surrounding area?
Yes — and we handle it. Texas Real Estate Media operates under an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. For controlled airspace near Waco Regional Airport or other restricted zones, we submit and obtain LAANC authorization before every shoot. You don't need to think about it.
What happens if weather cancels the drone shoot?
We monitor conditions closely before every shoot. If wind, rain, or low visibility makes flying unsafe or would produce unusable footage, we'll contact you to reschedule at no charge. Safety and image quality are both reasons to reschedule — we won't fly marginal conditions just to check a box.
Can drone footage be combined with interior photography in one appointment?
Yes, and that's usually the most efficient option. We offer bundled listing media packages that cover interior and exterior stills plus aerial photo and video in a single visit. Photos are delivered within 24 hours and video follows within a few business days, so you can go live with the listing right away.
How long does a drone shoot take on-site?
Most residential drone sessions take 30–60 minutes on-site depending on property size and the number of passes needed. Larger parcels, rural land, or properties requiring neighborhood context shots may run longer. We'll set the right expectations when you book.
Do you cover rural land and acreage listings, not just homes?
Absolutely. Aerial photography is especially valuable for land and acreage listings where lot lines, road frontage, and the surrounding area matter as much as the property itself. We regularly shoot rural listings across the I-35 corridor from Denton to Georgetown, including land in Lorena, Salado, Groesbeck, and beyond.
What format are the final drone photos and video delivered in?
Photos are delivered as edited, color-corrected JPEGs at full resolution — ready for MLS upload and print marketing. Video is delivered as an MP4 in 1080p or 4K depending on your package, edited with smooth transitions and suitable for the MLS, YouTube, Instagram, or your listing landing page.
