FAA issues exemptions for commercial drone usage

Pursuant to Federal Aviation Administration rules and regulations, the use of drones for commercial purposes is prohibited unless an exemption is granted to an individual or entity to use drones/unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) commercially. So far this year, the FAA has issued hundreds of exemptions to individuals/entities to use drones for commercial purposes. REALTORS wishing to use drone/UAV footage of a property should only use an individual or entity that has received an exemption from the FAA. Failure to do so may subject the licensee and their broker to liability and/or disciplinary action by federal and state agencies. Learn more here.
