Listing Videos - Dull or Inspiring?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Lake Homes Realty

 

With technology, it is easier and easier to create a video of a home for sale. But just because it is easy does not mean everyone can do a great job.

1.  Is the video engaging to home buyers?

2.  If they start watching, will they want to continue?

3.  Does the sound add value or detract? (Professional editors will tell you sound can often be more important than images.)

4.  Will the sellers be impressed?

5.  Will people share the video (this is a tough one)?

Here is an example, compliments of our agent Michael Langston, of a quick video that does more than shows rooms, it inspires feelings of a lifestyle! NOTE: As you watch this, be sure you have your sound turned on.

Pictures are informative, great video and sound invoke feelings!

 

What do you think about this video?

How did it make you feel?  

 

 

 

P.S. I didn't put this online as a listing per se, but if you are interested in this home, it is on Lake Martin in Dadeville, Alabama.

Glenn-Yep, that's an impressive video. Great movement and the placement of the camera height was nice. Of course, it doesn't hurt that the house was impressive too.

Yes I thought the house was impressive too! I could live there! Great video... the reason I have not done one is because I could not do it justice. I guess I could have one professional made for me.
