Creating an Aerial Video for Maui Homes

Aerial videos in real estate offer a unique and immersive way to showcase a property, going beyond traditional photos and static videos. They provide a bird's-eye view, allowing potential buyers to understand the property's layout, location, and surroundings, and the neighborhood in which it is situated. This can lead to faster sales, increased property values, and also give your client a clear understanding of the property’s boundary and size.

When do I need an Aerial Video?

1. Your property is located at a great location

For example, if your property is located in upcountry, we would suggest to highlight the coastal views of the property - being able to see West Maui Mountain, Molokini, Kahoolawe etc. Not to mention the beautiful Haleakala Mountain at the back. A 360 video bird eye view is going to give your viewer a lot more information of the position of the property than just a single aerial photo angle or ground level photo perspective.

Not only upcountry, far distanced ocean view, if your home is near the coast, we would suggest doing aerial video shot that pan from your property all the way to the ocean and some top down view to show the proximity to the ocean. That is a powerful shot. Most people that want to live in Maui or vacation in Maui wants to be close to the ocean and being able to see how close it is.

2. You have land

Whether it is half an acre to 20 acres, aerial videos are going to be helpful to show the property size. We can display your boundary lines and property size with the bird view video.

Also, if your property has more than one building, it is helpful to have aerial view and show clearly where each building is located.

3. Your property has some features that only a drone point of view can show

With aerial videos, it creates excitement, leading the viewers on a journey of discovery. They can be led on a “path” to walk to the property. And some clients simply fall in love with their “first-sight” of the property through the aerial video. You know if it is a property that photos won’t be sufficient to do its justice and need a little extra technique to show it off under the spotlight. Check out this Haiku home:

4. You are updating your Website.

This is an example of a Drone video 1 minute highlight for a Website Landing Page.

It is great introduction to your vacation rental website, giving viewers a more high-end touch.

5. Your property has great amenities and outdoor space for guests

If you are featuring an airbnb, hotel, resort, it is great to show off your grounds to highlight the swimming pools, golf course, tennis courts, koi pond, etc.

Having an aerial video will be like giving your guests a tour to the property in 1-2 minutes.

6. Your property is located in an attractive area and interesting nearby surroundings.

Whether your home is in Ma’alea waterfront, exclusive Wailea oceanfront location with golf course nearby, Olowalu with beautiful reef and water for kayaking or West Maui with great surf spots and whale watching lifestyle, with the aerial video, it can highlight these special attractions near your property.

7. Adding aerial footage to a walkthrough video

If you are considering doing an interior walkthrough video, adding drone clips would elevate the entire video and immersive experience. It gives your viewer a comprehensive story, tells the journey of where it is located, what is the surrounding neighborhood and lead them into different parts of the house and yard. It completes the story telling.

8. Last but not least, you want to provide more value to your client (your sellers, your owners, or your potential vacation guests)

No one will feel bad if you show off their home in the best possible light. Adding an aerial video is like a cherry on top of what basic agents or managers will do for their clients. It shows your clients that you are willing to add value to promote their property, it shows quality of you really care about your hotel and their profits in vacation rentals. It just shouts “better” and “I really care about this.” At the end, the more views to your listing, the better financial returns to your end!
