Here are 10 real estate videos to try out in 2019
1. Create video blogs
You should have a blog by now. If you don’t, it is a great marketing tool for your business. If you aren’t a fan of writing, you can do a video blog. You have the opportunity to showcase your knowledge and expertise in lots of creative ways. The key is to always provide value. Once you have your video, you can have it transcribed and ready to upload to your website or social media account.
2. Interviews
Interviews are a great way to share knowledge from other professionals (mortgage lenders, designers, architects etc.) as well as any satisfied buyers and sellers you have worked with in the past. As always, the information provided needs to be of value and relevance to your audience.
3. Real estate market update video
Anyone looking to put their home on the market wants to know how much they can expect to get for their home. Showcase your expertise and knowledge by putting together a market update every week or month. Discuss how the market is doing and why. Provide value and you will become the agent to turn to.
4. Listing tour
Every listing that you have should also have a property tour video. Your seller will be thrilled and it’s also a great way to appear in the top results on Google. Remember that YouTube is owned by Google so your video will show up in searches when relevant.
5. Testimonials
Social proof is everything for businesses regardless of your industry. For this reason, client testimonials are so effective especially when done in video format. Once you have edited your video and uploaded it to YouTube, be sure to distribute it on your social media pages and website so you are extending your audience reach.
6. All about me video
Before someone is going to want to do business with you, they need to know who you are. Create an “about me” video to connect instantly with people who find you online.
