Create a Stellar Video Presentation

  • Take the video tour beyond the property and step into the surrounding neighborhood for buyers to see their future surroundings and the proximity to stores, transportation, and more.
  • Tap into modern technology by using drones to provide a bird’s eye view of the property and its landscapes and outbuildings to reveal its expansive space and depth.

Connect Buyers With Video Listings

Once an agent creates an impressive video, sharing it puts the property in front of more eyes – and potential buyers. Because large land purchases attract certain types of buyers, it is crucial to spread the word about the availability of the property. Smart investors recognize when an opportunity to own more land arises. Use some of the following ways to get more viewers and remember to include a call to action with contact information.

  • Set up a YouTube channel dedicated to the property. If large properties are your niche, you can also set up a YouTube channel to showcase all of them. Do keyword    research to incorporate some of these popular search terms into your descriptions and content. YouTube is a search engine (owned by Google) as well as a well-known video library to help real estate videos get maximum exposure.            
  • Establish a professional Facebook account to share video property listings. Use Facebook Live to share a live tour of the property with a straightforward narrative         showcasing its finest features. Be interactive with visitors, and encourage sharing.           
  • Share video content and links to the listing video on YouTube at other social media sites such as Twitter and LinkedIn. Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate agents have a brand behind them with a recognizable presence on social media to reach a broad audience of possible buyers.         
  • Post a blog article with a vivid description of the property to accompany the video. Share the blog post on social media and via email and text reminders sent to clients on these lists.            
  • Create a trailer of the video to share on social media and with lists of people who want to know   about available properties. People who might not have considered the property could become interested after viewing a sneak peek.
