Listing Video Tips: Get More Views & Leads
Your listing is on your listing — now make it work harder. Learn how to use video to drive more views, engagement, and inquiries from your listings.
Why your listing needs video content
your listing is where buyers start their home search, but most agents treat it as a passive platform — upload photos, write a description, and wait. The agents generating the most leads from your listing take their listings off the platform and promote them on social media with video content.
A listing video posted on Instagram or TikTok drives traffic back to your listing, increases your visibility as the listing agent, and reaches buyers who haven't started actively searching yet.
7 tips for effective listing videos
1. Create a video the day the listing goes live
The first 48 hours of a new listing are crucial for attention. Have a video ready to post on social media the same day the listing hits your listing.
2. Lead with the best exterior shot
Your first frame determines if someone stops scrolling. Use the hero exterior photo — the same one that stops people on your listing — as your video's opening frame.
3. Include the price prominently
Price is the first thing buyers look at on your listing. Make it just as prominent in your video. Display it in the first 3 seconds so viewers can self-qualify immediately.
4. Keep it vertical (9:16)
your listing photos are horizontal, but social media is vertical. Use a tool that reformats and animates your horizontal photos into a vertical video with proper framing.
5. Add voiceover for watch time
Videos with narration keep people watching longer than music-only videos. Describe key features, recent upgrades, and neighborhood highlights. AI voiceover makes this effortless.
6. Include a CTA in your caption
Don't just post the video — tell people what to do next. "DM me for a showing," "Link in bio for full listing," or "Save this for your house hunt."
7. Create videos for sold listings too
A "JUST SOLD" video is social proof that you get results. It shows sellers you can move properties and tells buyers they need to act fast in your market.
