There\u2019s a reason informal market services such as Uber and Craigslist are so beloved: accessibility, industry-low prices, and a world of options come with one click of a hyperlink or a push of a button. With the prevalence of drone operation quickly overtaking the traditional real estate model, it seems like a similar service for drone operators should be knocking on our door any day now.<\/p>\n

\nEnter Droners, the freelance market for professional drone pilots and their clients<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Droners allows you to search for, research, compare, and hire drone pilots from a myriad of backgrounds. You can also add listings and watch professionals bid\u2014why pay a premium when you can get a bargain, after all?<\/p>\n

How it works<\/h2>\n

When you go to post a job, you are prompted to enter a title and a description of its criteria, followed by a classification. <\/p>\n

Droners covers a wide array of commercial and private services, with listings for the following sections included:
\n\t\u2022\tAgricultural services
\n\t\u2022\tBoating and water sports
\n\t\u2022\tConstruction and inspection
\n\t\u2022\tDrone maintenance
\n\t\u2022\tDrone training
\n\t\u2022\tEditing
\n\t\u2022\tEvent services
\n\t\u2022\tPhotogrammetry
\n\t\u2022\tReal estate
\n\t\u2022\tTV\/Film\/Web video production
\n\t\u2022\tWedding<\/p>\n

A nondenominational \u201cother\u201d category exists as well, so if your needs fall outside the range of the above options, you\u2019re still completely covered. <\/p>\n

Droners will be a huge asset to agents<\/h2>\n

\u201cDroners is one of the only true two-sided marketplaces for drone pilots,\u201d says founder Dave Brown. \u201cAgents can start by posting a job to the job board to start receiving bids from pilots, or they can browse our drone video search app that allows them to watch hundreds of drone videos, and hire pilots directly from any video they like with a click of a button.\u201d <\/p>\n

You can also view pilot portfolios, resumes, reviews, and pricing\u2014all before you even contact them. This show-and-serve nature of Droners eliminates the \u201croll the dice\u201d factor one experiences when hiring an unknown freelancer. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Instead, you know exactly what kind of editing, filming, and rates to expect, thus allowing you to tailor your preferences on a per-project basis.<\/p>\n

Since their launch two months ago, Droners has already attracted the services of over 1200 pilots, all of whom are FAA exempt (as per Droners\u2019 requirement). The market is booming right now, so you\u2019re a real estate agent and you\u2019re looking to modernize, Droners is the place to be.<\/p>\n
