Drones take on the great indoors

Video captured from drones has become the must-have money shot when selling high-end real estate. Equipped with a camera, the unmanned aerial vehicles soar over homes, giving prospective buyers a bird's-eye view of the property along with sweeping vistas and skylines. Recently, however, intrepid agents and drone pilots have turned them loose inside estates to capture the majesty of the great indoors: exhilarating descents past chandeliers that continue through cavernous living rooms before launching viewers straight out windows to behold cityscapes. "If you've got the space, using drones inside can be magical," Realtor Bret Parsons said. "One client said that they never realized how beautiful their home was until it was shot by a drone. And now they joke that they don't want to sell it."
