Video has been “the next big thing” since about 2011. And yet, in 2022, nothing has changed. Video is still one of the most engaging and under-utilized niches for real estate agents to gain a competitive edge via real estate video marketing.
Unfortunately, real estate video marketing can be intimidating. Few agents have the mix of technical and artistic skills necessary to make a quality video production.
Of course, some services help with that and make video marketing achievable and easy for real estate agents, teams, and brokerages. Here are a few of the best real estate video marketing companies for real estate professionals.

Video Ideas and Tools
Need some inspiration? Check out agents making great videos at the core of their business. They have different strategies, from high-end Hollywood-level productions to low-tech authentic and personable video creation that still engages your customers.
Another resource for DIYers and someone who wants to outsource their video creation entirely is the Real Estate Marketing Dude. Not only does he do video, but does a podcast focused on digital marketing for agents.
If you are heavy on doing open house tours and some social media-friendly content, consider an affordable 3D camera. These are awesome for showcasing your listings (or other people’s) with an interactive experience personally branded to you!
Final word
Video content is not fading and is a significant marketing asset to real estate professionals. Consistent video creation will not only build your brand but is a way to stand out online.
Most agents neglect video, and even the major players like Zillow don’t have a niche, hyperlocal video content. Being a consistent video creator can be a great way to set yourself apart from agents who can’t keep pace consistently over the years.
