List of FAA-Approved Drone Operators Available on REALTOR.org

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has begun to issue waivers for some drone operators to legally and commercially operate. Without a waiver from the FAA, commercial use of drones is prohibited. The waivers are issued through Section 333 of the FAA Modernization Act of 2012 and are known as Section 333 waivers. NAR has created a list of operators who offer photography, inspection, appraisal and other real estate services using drones. The list is not an endorsement of any operator, it is a restatement of information that is publicly available from the FAA.
See the list of FAA-approved operators.
