Why Aerial Photography Matters

Street-level photos can only show so much of a property. Aerial photography gives potential buyers a better understanding of the entire property, from the layout and boundaries to the surrounding land and nearby features.

Whether you’re listing a home in Temple, showcasing a commercial property in Killeen, or marketing acreage outside Waco, professional drone imagery helps buyers see the bigger picture and gives your listing a unique perspective.

Why Hire an FAA Part 107 Certified Drone Pilot?

When hiring someone for commercial drone photography, including real estate listings, it’s important to make sure they’re properly certified. The FAA has specific requirements for commercial drone operations, and working with a certified pilot helps ensure your project is completed safely and in compliance with federal regulations.

At CTX Drone Services, we take those responsibilities seriously.

  • FAA Part 107 Certified. Every flight is conducted under FAA commercial drone regulations, with a certified remote pilot overseeing the operation.
  • Airspace Compliance. We review local airspace restrictions and obtain FAA authorization through LAANC or other approved methods when required.
  • Safety & Planning. From preflight inspections to evaluating weather, obstacles, and surrounding properties, safety is part of every shoot.
  • Peace of Mind. Working with a certified professional helps reduce the risks associated with unauthorized or improperly conducted drone operations.

Whether we’re photographing a residential listing, commercial property, or acreage in Central Texas, our focus is on delivering quality imagery while operating responsibly and professionally.
