Create your real estate video

We have explained in our site that choosing a real estate website that allows us to upload clips of our property is the best alternative to achieve success; why?, simple, when we use an interactive tool we have more chances to catch the attention of the public. In this case creating a real estate video will provide the user and the potential client comfort “and time saving” since the first one will be able to publish their video by using an ordinary computer and the second will be able to go on tour among the properties without moving from their homes. When we create a real estate video we must think of many facts since what we try to show with it, is the main aspects and characteristic of the house or building and, at the same time, convince the homebuyer that our property is the best they will find on the market.

What do we need?

In order to create a real estate video we need a complete equipment of cameras; we advise you to use a digital or high definition camera and leave behind the old VHS formats; in case we do not have this opportunity, we will have to convert the VHS video into AVI, MPEG or MOV, otherwise we won’t be able to upload it. Using a digital camera to create a real estate video we won’t only have the advantage to get a better image but also we will be able to speed up the uploading process on the internet website. It is also very helpful to use some filters to get a better image definition and to avoid imperfections on the tape or film; some digital cameras include special effects: black and white images, night vision, brightness, etc; we might use some of these features for our film.

When we create a real estate video we must think as a customer, we mean, we should remark the special areas of the property hiding the flaws of the building; at the same time we must show every single area and all the rooms, the clients wish to observe the complete construction and not only some parts of it. While we tape the clip we should describe the room we are visiting and inform about all its characteristics: dimensions, structure, advantages, disadvantages, etc. Some people prefer to add these details as a video-graph, at the bottom of the image and include some music in the video clip to make it more attractive and catchy; both alternatives are useful, it will depend on our likes. As a recommendation, we advise you not to create a real estate video at night since the quality of the image won’t be as good as if we would be taping it during the day; we need light to remark the rooms of the property and get a clearer image.

Different ways to create a real estate video

When we desire to create a real estate video we can choose among two alternatives: free videos or paid videos; the first is the most convenient choice but finding an internet site which provides it is not that simple. Uploading free real estate videos is easy and quick, we must find a page that does not charge any fees and start with the registering process; we have a form to fill in where we have to leave details such us name and surname, address, zip code, e-mail account, phone number, etc. Once we submit the form, we will receive an e-mail confirmation to verify the existence of our account; when the task is over we will be able to upload or create the real estate video.

The registration process in paid sites is very similar, but we must specify in the form, how much money we are willing to pay; the amount varies depending on the number of publications we make and the time we desire to keep each of them. Prices are completely different depending on the website reputation; the most important real estate websites may charge usd$ 100 per video, meanwhile, the less important use to charge usd$ 30 per video. Of course, with the first option we will have more applications to use and at the same time we will have promotional campaigns of our videos.
