Video Marketing in Real Estate: How to Create Content That Converts

 

Video Marketing in Real Estate: How to Create Content That Converts

Let’s be real: if you’re not using video in your real estate business, you’re already behind.

Video is no longer a “nice-to-have”—it’s the most powerful tool available to connect with potential clients, build trust, and stand out in an oversaturated market. In fact, according to NAR, 73% of homeowners say they are more likely to list with a real estate agent who uses video.

That means video isn’t just a trend—it’s your ticket to more listings, more buyers, and more influence.

At Let’s Grow Movement, we’ve seen firsthand how our agents are closing more deals, building personal brands, and becoming local celebrities through strategic video content.

So if you’re ready to stop being invisible and start attracting your dream clients, this is your ultimate guide to creating video content that actually converts.

🎥 Why Video Works (and Why It’s Time to Start)

Before we dive into the how, let’s talk about the why:

  • Video builds trust faster. People do business with those they know, like, and trust. Nothing builds that faster than showing up face-to-face—even digitally.

  • It shows off your personality. Your energy, vibe, and authenticity are your superpowers. Video lets them shine.

  • It stops the scroll. Video content captures attention in seconds and keeps your audience engaged longer than static posts.

  • Google and social media love it. Videos increase time on page, boost your SEO, and are prioritized by platforms like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook.

Bottom line? Video creates connection—and connection converts.

🧠 The Right Mindset: Done Is Better Than Perfect

Let’s get something out of the way: you don’t need to be perfect on camera.

You just need to be real.

Many agents put off video because they “don’t like how they look or sound” or “don’t know what to say.” But here’s the truth: clients aren't looking for a Hollywood production—they’re looking for a trusted expert who is relatable, reliable, and real.

So give yourself permission to start messy. You’ll get better with every video, and the results will speak for themselves.

📸 The 6 Types of Real Estate Videos That Convert

Not all videos are created equal—but the following 6 categories are proven to generate leads, build trust, and position you as the go-to expert in your market:

1. Listing Videos (But Make Them Scroll-Stopping)

No more boring slideshows. Use video to walk people through your listings like a friend would. Highlight key features, show off upgrades, and add your personality.

🎯 Pro Tip: Start with a hook. “This home has a hidden room you won’t believe!” or “Let me show you the 3 things that make this home a total steal.”

2. Neighborhood & Community Tours

Buyers aren’t just shopping for a house—they’re shopping for a lifestyle.

Show them parks, restaurants, schools, and the local vibe. Position yourself as not just a real estate expert, but a local guide.

🎥 “Thinking of moving to [city]? Let me show you why this community is one of the most underrated gems.”

3. Educational Content (“You Ask, I Answer”)

Build authority by answering the questions your clients are already Googling.

  • “What’s the first step to buying a home?”

  • “Should I sell before I buy?”

  • “How much do I need for a down payment?”

🎯 Pro Tip: Turn every client question into a short video.

4. Behind-the-Scenes and Day-in-the-Life

This is where connection really happens.

Show people what it’s like to work with you. Tour homes. Stage a property. Negotiate a deal. Let your audience in on your process—and your passion.

🎥 “It’s 7am and I’m headed to a final walkthrough. Let me tell you why this deal almost fell apart—and how we saved it…”

5. Client Testimonials (aka Social Proof Gold)

A happy client on camera is worth 10,000 words.

Record short clips of your clients after closing, or film casual conversations about their journey. Authenticity wins.

🎯 Bonus: Include these videos on your website, email signature, and listing presentations.

6. Motivational or Inspirational Content

Tap into emotions. Share why you got into real estate, what fuels you, and your vision for your clients and community.

🎥 “This week, I helped a single mom close on her first home. Let me tell you what that meant to both of us.”

🎬 How to Structure a Great Real Estate Video

No matter what type of video you're creating, use this 4-part framework:

✅ 1. The Hook (0–5 seconds)

Grab attention fast.

  • “Most buyers make this mistake—don’t be one of them.”

  • “You won’t believe what $500k gets you in [city]…”

  • “3 things I’d never do if I were buying a house in 2025…”

✅ 2. The Value (5–45 seconds)

Deliver the tip, insight, or tour clearly and concisely.

✅ 3. The Personal Touch (Optional, but Powerful)

Show some behind-the-scenes, add humor, or drop a relatable moment.

✅ 4. The Call-to-Action (CTA)

Always give your viewer the next step:

  • “Follow for more real estate tips.”

  • “Message me to schedule a private showing.”

  • “Want this home? Let’s get you in.”

📲 Platforms That Are Crushing It with Video

  • Instagram Reels – Short, snappy, and high visibility

  • YouTube – Long-form content that builds authority and SEO

  • TikTok – Gen Z and millennials are buying—meet them here

  • Facebook – Especially effective for local market reach and events

  • LinkedIn – Great for commercial agents and professional branding

💡 Let’s Grow Movement teaches you how to repurpose one video across all platforms to save time and expand reach.

🎥 Tools You Need to Get Started (No Fancy Gear Required)

You don’t need a big budget—just consistency and confidence. Here’s all you need:

  • Smartphone with a decent camera (iPhone or Samsung Galaxy work great)

  • Lavalier mic for clear audio ($20 on Amazon)

  • Tripod or phone stand

  • Ring light for lighting (optional but helpful)

  • CapCut or InShot for easy editing

Want to get advanced? Add tools like:

  • Descript for captions

  • Canva for video thumbnails

  • Later or Metricool for scheduling

🔥 Bonus: Tips for Getting Comfortable on Camera

  • Record yourself speaking casually—no script—about a topic you love.

  • Smile before you press record. It sets your tone.

  • Pretend you're talking to your favorite client—not an audience.

  • Watch your footage back with compassion, not criticism.

  • Don’t delete your first takes—compare them later and see your growth.

Remember: You don’t need to go viral. You just need to connect.

💬 Final Thoughts from Leo

Video is more than marketing—it’s a mission.

It’s your chance to lead with value, show up with heart, and serve your audience before they even become clients.

Every agent in Let’s Grow Movement who commits to video sees it pay off—not just in transactions, but in confidence, clarity, and connection.

So if you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to start video marketing… this is it.

🎬 Lights, camera, legacy.
