RealEstate.com TV Commercial & Campaign

Wanted to share some exciting news from RealEstate.com and Market Leader.  The RealEstate.com TV commercial and campaign launched this week on national cable channels targeting the home buyer demographic.  We are very excited.

I personally love the creative.   We worked with a very talented creative agency on it and they nailed the excitement of using the Internet and a simple site like RealEstate.com that feature local real estate agents and brokers to find your next home.  

Also you will notice that the winner of the RealEstate.com Photo Contest ActiveRain's Amy Mooney Hahn's photo of the Crystal Coast of North Carolina is featured at the end of video.  

If you are interested, below are some cool clips on the making of the TV commercial.  Check out the filming with the actors and the green screen and then watch the video of how the created the special effects.

Nikesh, it is good to see real estate ads other than Realtor.com all the time.  Very clever.

Thanks everyone!  We are pleased with how this commercial came out.  

The power of big screen.

I particularly love the special effects - check out the flag waving in the breeze and the pots and pan in the kitchen.  The whole scene was shot against a green screen and then the animation was added later.

Nikesh I really liked the video. Does this company do videos for Real Estate Agents? Thanks for sharing this by the way.

Lanre, I don't think they do agent commercials.  As you can imagine the spot was pretty pricey..... BUT one cool thing we are doing is that we are allowing agents on RealEstate.com to get their own customized version of the TV commercial.  Basically the last 5 sec would show your picture or brand in the commercials.  

Take a look here: http://success.realestate.com/marketing-kit-tv-ad  Scroll down to see the ad on the bottom left.

Nikesh - I really like this.  I think it's compelling and also has good branding at the same time. (and the site name is easy to remember).

Green screens and slides from all over the revolving marble can harness media to excite. Real estate is an emotional experience!

I watched TV hoping to see it, ended up finding it on Facebook. I just signed up for my neighborhood and am looking forward to some good leads. The ad is very simple in concept and hopefully viewers connect with the idea of looking at large photos. something I have identified as being missing on most online searches.

Interesting that a competitor also launched their TV ad the same day. Seems it's time to jump back into TV, so i will be checking out the agent branding part.
