Realtors® Applaud FAA’s Proposed Rule to Allow Commercial Drone Use for Real Estate | realtor.org

February 16th, 2015

National Association of Realtors® President Chris Polychron, executive broker with 1st Choice Realty in Hot Springs, Arkansas, issued the following statement about new proposed rules for unmanned aircraft systems issued today by the Federal Aviation Administration:

“The proposed rules announced today for the commercial use of unmanned aerial vehicles are good news for property owners and Realtors® who desire to embrace cutting-edge technology to enhance the process of buying and selling real estate with images gathered by unmanned aerial vehicles.

“Realtors® support the proposed federal regulation, which would allow for safe commercial use of UAV technology by the real estate industry for the purposes of marketing real estate.

Our family has worked with Ginger to buy personal homes and investment properties for more than a decade. When my husband and I were looking for our perfect home, we wouldn’t have dreamed of calling anyone but Ginger (and we got to know and work with Melani during the process and she’s also awesome). Any realtor can show you a home and walk you through the buying process, but it takes a very special realtor to be well-versed in home construction and have a solid understanding of electrical, HVAC, foundations, etc. to guide you through how to evaluate a home…

Purchasing our first investment property with Ginger was a wonderful experience. She was there to explain everything along the way and her knowledge/advice is nothing short of priceless. We look forward to working with her for all of our investment needs.

Ginger was the most attentive agent I could have hoped to work with. She was constantly fighting for my best interests and did not stop until I found the exact home I wanted for exactly what I wanted to pay for it. I would recommend her to anyone who wants an agent who puts their best interest at #1!

Melani and Ginger were recommended to us by a friend, and we have not regretted this decision to retain them as our realtors. We placed our home on the market just as interest rates started to go up and the housing market started to cool. Melani and Ginger were tireless in their efforts to keep our house on the front burner, they provided excellent advice and when things did not happen as fast as we would have liked, they were right there with sound encouragement. We would recommend Melani, Ginger, and their team at Elevate Real Estate for anyone’s real…

Pam and Ginger went the extra mile to sell my home. Time was spent staging the inside of the house and seeing that flyers were always available in the realtor’s box. They even shoveled snow and sweep the floors. I felt both of them worked very hard at selling my home and I would highly recommend them for any home sale.

We appreciate everything Ginger, Pamela and Brittany did for us. This is our 2nd home we bought with them! They are always on top of everything. If you have an issue you can call them and they will have it resolved within minutes.

As a first time home buyer, I was very nervous and concerned about beginning the home buying process in such a crazy market. Luckily, I was recommended to reach out to Ginger and her team to help me through the process, and that was the best recommendation I’ve ever received. Ginger, Mel, and the rest of the Elevate team were some of the most knowledgeable, experienced, and passionate people I’ve ever had the joy of working with. They never hesitated to answer questions or concerns I had about the process, and their impressive knowledge of the market and the home…

Ginger has worked with us on the sale and purchase of several homes since 2015. She has been excellent in her search and advice, really waiting for the right property and giving excellent advice on updating for sale and purchased properties. I highly recommend her.

Ginger and her crew were OUTSTANDING! They had so much patience with me looking through some 80+ houses and my changing requirements. All of them made it come together and found us the house we wanted. I cannot recommend them enough!

Ginger helped us find “our” house and we felt great about our final decision. We really trust her business sense. We will call Ginger again when we are selling in the future!

Ginger was very personable and easy to work with. I found the technology easy to use and paperwork was stress free and simple to do. Ginger was very punctual, prompt and friendly. I felt comfortable asking her questions and she made every effort to find a home I am satisfied with. I would recommend Ginger to a friend.
Ryan Wilcox
Melani, We wanted to thank you for everything you’ve done for us. You were so pleasant to work with, so kind and caring and you always brought a smile to face. That has to be such a tough role and the amount of patience needed can only be met by the select few and you are one of them! Thank you for guiding us every step of the way and getting us to the point where we officially get to say…WE ARE HOMEOWNERS! Nothing makes me happier. Thanks again for everything, keep in touch!…
Kristin & Nate
I enjoyed working with Ginger Matney. She was honest and helpful when it came to any questions I asked about the houses. I would recommend her and use her services again.
Debora Parsons
Great people to work with. Took care of everything.
Patty Carpenter
Just wanted to let you know we’ve used a couple of your guys from your vendor list that you sent out. We’ve had some struggles with our usually people and called your garage guy and egress window guy. They were both phenomenal. They communicate quickly and well, their bids were better than work we’ve had done in the past. Running our business from AZ can be challenging at times. Joe and I just want to let you know we appreciate your list!
Megan Bauers
The team at Elevate Real Estate made our transition to Denver & home buying experience much easier to deal with. They were responsive & helped us find our home within our budget with a location we wanted.
Cole and Allie
Ginger is one of THE BEST Real Estate Agents we have ever worked with!!! Can’t wait to buy our next house through Ginger because she made buying our first house less stressful, easy, and fun! I will continue to recommend her to everyone buying or selling a house.

“We couldn’t be happier with the services of Ginger and her team over the last 5 years! Ginger is a unique combination of extensive experience in the rental market and the knowledge of a lawyer. She is always available to support us in every possible way, and a wonderful person to work with, and so is her team!
