Tierra Antigua Realtor Doug Trudeau was issued the first real estate permit in the nation Tuesday by the Federal Aviation Administration allowing use of a drone to photograph and take video of properties for sale.

“I want to help the little guy. I wanted to promote and market property better so it can sell for a higher price,” said Trudeau, explaining that his clients are selling their homes for between $175,000 and $400,000.
