Comments On Your YouTube Real Estate Video

Comments on your YouTube real estate video.

Feed back is the best way to see if you are hitting the target. That your real estate video is a worthwhile expense of time for the other end of the connection.

There are instances when not a lot of comments appear trailing down below the video. But that does not indicate engagement is missing. Sometimes it means you did an okay job in the show and tell that is obvious under the hood from a peek at the analytics.

Mum's the word but keep those videos coming. Your audience will be back for more!

Both blog posts and video channels on social media circles can have lots of feedback.

What makes someone on the other end of the signal to take the time to make a comment on what you post and upload? Sometimes it is because so much is missing and confusion is happening. youtube video comments

Too short a video that only scraped the surface.

Or others times it was because the producer took too long, did not have a clear mental story board developed in his or her head.

Lost the audience getting to the listing rundown of features, pricing. The stuff the Internet surfer poked their head into the tent to glean.

When there are a lot of inquiries about a new property listing YouTube video, it is a good thing.

Those are signals to show how the video is performing after it's launch. The  questions and answers really help flush out the A-Z. On the location, the property itself, the process of how someone actually steps up to now or eventually make the this or another purchase.

Lots of comments really help develop a sense of community as everyone shares, weighs in and adds to the presentation.

Here's a YouTube real estate video that has 607 comments.

Simple Maine off grid log cabin on a mountain top with lake access private lot.

13 minutes, 11 seconds. That what it took. To tackle the essentials for the property listing described and the remote location introduced to the wild blue yonder audience.

Taking the viewer to the property, around the lake and involving them in the trek asks for little.real estate listing jeep ride

Except buckle up. Hop in the Jeep. Listen to a story.

You are riding shot gun position heading to the hill top listing surrounded by all the rec trails on this listing video if you have a little time. 

In this YouTube video installment put under the hot bright spotlight and uploaded for everyone to see and hear the highlights, it's all about look what just got listed.

You are excited. And quickly let the audience know what this property is all about in the introduction. Because many are searching and just want to have you give them the run down on just what do we have here.

Have you been experimenting with YouTube shorts? Are you using any type of video in your real estate property listing, your brand and local community marketing?

Video for real estate. Quick and easy for your buyer who does not have to comb his hair, grab his coat. Just start touring properties, the communities they are in one after another. No matter when your buyer is or weather or time of day or night Leanne Smith !

Hello Andrew - as many know from ActiveRain and elsewhere, the audience may be participating in their own way.  So many unknowns exist when engagement is the topic.

I am definitely nowhere near as adept with YouTube as you are and in the past, I have only left a comment on a video when I am trying to message the person who created the video, haha.

Practice and trial & error is what quickly flattens the learning curve. I will help you develop your YouTube video channel Brian. The ActiveRain Real Estate Network could help promote the merits of video. Hope Santa brings you a drone. That would up your game!

The new book by David Baldacci has a Maine setting. I think you would enjoy reading The Edge (2023).

Andrew as I recall, your post were always thorough and engaging.  As I was reading this post, one of my initial questions was "what's an ideal length for a video?" Then I saw 13 minutes, 11 seconds.  Then I thought, that's pretty long, but apparently for a property like this such detail and length would be appreciated, particularly if a potential buyer was not local but was looking for something off the grid.

But secondarily what would be your ideal length for a residential property and do you video surrounding area of residential properties as well?

I've always been tempted to do video but felt like I would produce something too amateurish.

#shorts are under 60 seconds and like reels, teasers. But when you have a property like the above with 39 acres, log cabin, a lake in your lap, you need to show the off grid remote road into the place and take the view on tour of the boat launch, telling them about the lake with drone B roll to round out the here is what you are buying Charita Cadenhead

It's not the length but is the property worthwhile to watch the presentation for your viewer. Thrown together or carefully shot and edited to tell the story for the other end of the signal. Engagement without drop off and losing them is the goal along with about 200 other important adjustments.

Our residential pull the buyer through every inch of the place... many I see online dart from here to there and very confusing, not connected and way too short with only a music bed. No agent, no broker, no human being touring in the show and tell.

225,655 views on this one embedded above shows this video is firing on all cylinders as mechanics say. 

Start with community videos. Turn the camera on the events in your area first.

Thanks for the tips.  I think I have only ever attempted videos of my listings may 3 times max. I didn't think they were great and I don't think anyone else did either.  However, there was engagement.  At least 2 of them were during open houses.  I may give it another shot.

They only get better the more you put video into the marketing routine. Like blogging posts

it's about feeding fresh worthwhile content using all the senses possible and on a regular basis Charita Cadenhead ! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

If I've learned nothing else from ActiveRain it's that consistency is the key.  I'll say this...with every new listing I get, I will try to incorporate video in some way.  Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too.  Have a great day and great holiday.

Hi Andrew, I posted a question on ActivRain and probably a half a dozen people recommended that I reach out to you regarding my Video Group question.  Would you be able for a quick call today or over the weekend?  Thanks, Sam Miller

     Thank you Craig Daniels. It's 2024. So many Active Rain bloggers say they want to add powerful video to the real estate marketing arsenal.

     Like losing weight, quitting smoking, cutting back on alcohol, etc. Let's add video to the marketing and help join forces to help the process along in 2024!

     Videos are what get you more listings, help you expand your audience to find more buyers and save you the agent/broker/REALTOR way way more time in the show and tell.
