Real estate videographers
No real estate listings in the directory yet — here is what the work involves, and what to ask whoever you hire.
A deadline business. A listing goes live on a date, and footage that arrives after it is worth a fraction of footage that arrives before.
What you get
What a real estate shoot delivers
- Property tour Two to three minutes, walked in the order a buyer would see it.
- Vertical walkthrough Phone-shaped. That is where listings get browsed.
- Drone exterior The lot, the roofline, the street.
- Stills Almost always bundled. Confirm the count, and whether twilight is in.
Before you book
Five questions worth asking
The answers predict the outcome better than a showreel does.
- What is your turnaround? For a listing this is the whole question. Hold them to twenty-four to forty-eight hours.
- Are you licensed to fly? Commercial drone work needs a Part 107 certificate. Ask to see it. The liability is yours too.
- Do you shoot twilight? The shot that sells the house. It means a second visit, so it is priced separately.
- What format do you deliver for the MLS? Portals have specifications. A file that will not upload is not a delivery.
- Do you move anything? Some stage, some will not touch a thing. Know which before the day.
