Are drone aerials worth it for Long Beach canal and waterfront homes?

Absolutely. Aerial footage showing Naples Island canals, Belmont Shore beach proximity, and marina context gives buyers a perspective impossible to convey in ground-level photos. It's one of the highest-ROI upgrades for any Long Beach waterfront listing.
