Your job is selling, and selling means making people want to buy. (Hint: that\u2019s exactly what marketing is about!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just so you know too for the record, in real estate sales, a video listing gets 40% more enquiries than a photo. For a local firm that wants to enter a highly competitive market, video production is a vital growth tool. Across the country the number of people using video websites to research homes has grown from 36% in the past year to 32%. Incorporated video in a digital campaign is a good way to increase leads generated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Video marketing is powerful for real estate agents, but it\u2019s still remarkably underutilized in the space. According to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.nar.realtor\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/2021-technology-survey-08-03-2021.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2021 Technology Survey<\/a>&nbsp;from the National Association of REALTORS Research Group, 37% of respondents say they use video in their marketing, while 27% say they do not. The remaining 35% say that while they do not currently use video for marketing, they hope to in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For agents that are still putting off video marketing, now is the time to invest in high-quality content for each property you list. There\u2019s still time to be a relatively early adopter in the space, and you can beat out competitors who are still lagging on the video trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not quite convinced you need video? Here are just a few of the key benefits of video marketing for the real estate industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Benefits of Video Marketing for Real Estate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Real estate listings with video&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.business2.com.au\/2012\/03\/online-video-marketing-skyrockets-for-business-in-2012\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">receive 403 percent more inquiries<\/a>&nbsp;than listings without.<\/li><li>Of all buyers and sellers,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.inman.com\/next\/by-the-numbers-how-to-focus-your-video-marketing-for-the-biggest-return-on-investment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">85 percent want to work<\/a>&nbsp;with an agent who uses video as part of their marketing efforts.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nar.realtor\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/Study-Digital-House-Hunt-2013-01_1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eighty-six percent of homebuyers<\/a>&nbsp;use video to research a particular community and 70 percent use it to tour the inside of homes.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nar.realtor\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/2018-real-estate-in-a-digital-world-12-12-2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Forty-four percent of homebuyers&nbsp;<\/a>begin their search for a residence online, and video helps with SEO results and standing out on crowded search pages.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/magazine.realtor\/technology\/feature\/article\/2018\/08\/where-agents-go-wrong-with-video-marketing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thirty-nine percent of homebuyers<\/a>&nbsp;used sites with embedded video during their home searches, and 56% of them felt it was \u201cvery useful.\u201d<\/li><li>Links to pages with embedded video get&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.warholandwest.com\/real-estate-agent-video-tools-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">157% more organic search results<\/a>&nbsp;than pages without video.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how exactly can you use video to stand out from the crowd? Keep reading to find out practical ways to you can use videos for real estate marketing&nbsp;<em>and<\/em>&nbsp;best five recommended videos you can create for your real estate agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Use_Videos_For_Real_Estate_Marketing\"><\/span>How To Use Videos For Real Estate Marketing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Use video to show off your property.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want beautiful aerial views of the property you\u2019re listing? Want to document the awesome spiral staircase, the lovely furniture, or the wall accents? Pictures and text descriptions don\u2019t even come close to video for these unique home features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of it this way: video can work as a permanent open house for any property you\u2019re trying to sell. Set up your decor, set the perfect lighting, make the space inviting and warm, and film it! You\u2019ll capture the space as it should be captured, without having to worry about daily upkeep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, it gives remote buyers peace of mind that they\u2019ve&nbsp;\u201ctoured\u201d the property, even if they can\u2019t come see it in person. They\u2019ll feel more confident in their decision than they would without the video option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reach your customers digitally, where they spend their time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Online browsing behavior is constantly changing. While people once went directly to local newspapers or magazines to search for listings in their neighborhood, now, they spend most of their time searching via Google, social media, recommended agency websites, and more\u2014all online.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What does this mean for you? If you want to reach prospective buyers, you\u2019ve got to use video. Besides video being the most engaged with type of content online, video is also being prioritized by digital algorithms. Social channels like Facebook and Instagram&nbsp;<em>and&nbsp;<\/em>search engines like Bing and Google have shared that they explicitly prioritize video content in feeds and results pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not using videos and your competition is, you\u2019re going to lose out on digital audiences every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Start conversations with your customers directly.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The beauty of video is in the way it facilitates the understanding and communication of information. Video provides a personal touch for viewers exploring your properties, and you can use that personal touch to your advantage. In addition to the property videos, we\u2019ve described above, you can also create videos that feature you in front of the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can answer common questions about the property, provide a brief overview of the purchase process and what buyers can expect, or even creating a custom video highlighting features you know a specific client will love. Going the extra mile with these videos will leave a great impression on your buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To create a video like this, start by addressing some of the most common questions you receive. Use a video to talk about a property\u2019s size, price, history, number of bedrooms\u2014you name it. Then, upload the video to the channels where you\u2019re most likely to reach your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_can_I_share_my_real_estate_video\"><\/span><strong>Where can I share my real estate video?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Add the video to your website, promote it on social media, and more.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of channels that help reach your audience, another great thing about video is that you can use it almost anywhere online to drive user interest. There are countless platforms and channels that support video content in 2021, and you can use any or all of them as you see fit. Here are a few of the most common options we\u2019d recommend exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Website<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use your real estate video anywhere and everywhere you can on your website\u2014your homepage, your listings section, your \u201cAbout Us\u201d section, and more. Depending on the number of properties you\u2019re working with, you might consider creating a video for each property (or focusing on a few that are your biggest drivers of purchase inquiries). You can also create more general videos that explain your company, introduce you as a real estate agent, or any other non-property video topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Social Media<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Social media is non-negotiable for virtually every industry in 2021. When you have a finished video, consider posting it on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and any real estate forums or organizations you or your company are active in. Though shorter formats are usually optimal here, you can get away with posting a slightly longer video (like a full property walkthrough) if it provides informative value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Email<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have a list of people who\u2019ve shown interest in buying property? You likely have a segmented email database; tap into this database by sending regular video updates about new properties that hit the market or specific properties that might meet a recipient\u2019s needs. Communicating directly to segmented lists is one of the highest revenue drivers for most companies with an online presence\u2014and video takes the benefits to the next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SMS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SMS marketing is a tough nut to crack, but with impressive results, it\u2019s becoming a must for B2C companies. Branded SMS messages boast&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/blog\/sms-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">open rates of over 82 percent<\/a>\u2014that\u2019s an enormous opportunity to reach your potential customers directly and ensure that they get your message. Plus, with video, you\u2019re more likely to catch their attention and engage them\u2014a total win-win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Provide a personal connection.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So often, buyers just don\u2019t quite know what they\u2019re looking for. They know they want to invest in their very own property, but have no idea what they can afford, what they want, or where they should begin looking. If that\u2019s the case, a video that focuses on your qualifications as a real estate agent may be just the thing to win them over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, your primary focus won\u2019t be to sell a specific property, but instead, to introduce yourself and gain the trust of someone in need of your services. Use a brand video to introduce your agency or your approach as an agent. Besides providing some useful information about your qualifications and passions, it will also put a friendly face to what can sometimes be a difficult process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"So_What_Kind_Of_Real_Estate_Videos_Can_I_Use_For_My_Video_Marketing\"><\/span>So, What Kind Of Real Estate Videos Can I Use For My Video Marketing <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kickstart_your_real_estate_video_marketing_with_these_recommended_videos\"><\/span>Kickstart your real estate video marketing with these recommended videos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\"><li>Real Estate Listing Videos<\/li><li>How-To&#8217;s and Tips<\/li><li>Go Live!<\/li><li>Video Testimonials<\/li><li>Neighborhood Guides<\/li><li>Live Q&amp;A Videos<\/li><li>Neighborhood\/Community Video<\/li><li>Listing.
