real estate video marketing in Melbourne
A drone shot of the roof doesn't win the listing or sell the house. The agent who shows up with a content engine — and answers the 7pm enquiry — does. Here's the agent playbook.
Short version: real estate is the cleanest content business there is — every new listing is a new shoot, and your face on social is half of why a vendor signs with you over the agent down the road. The agents winning here run three things together: listing + personal-brand video, paid social to the right local buyers and vendors, and a CRM that replies to the after-hours enquiry before the buyer messages someone else. We run all three on one retainer. From $2,500/mo, or a $497 first shoot.
two jobs, not one: win the listing AND sell it
Most "real estate video" only does the second job — the property walkthrough. But the bigger money is in the first: winning the listing. A vendor chooses the agent who looks like they'll market the home hardest. Consistent, well-made content — your appraisals, your sold results, your face explaining the local market — is the appraisal-winning machine that runs while you sleep. We make both: the personal-brand content that wins the listing, and the property content that sells it.
the three pieces
Shoot. Property walkthroughs that feel like a real viewing, plus agent-brand content — to-camera market updates, just-listed and just-sold reels, the story behind a result. The same documentary craft we used on the 13-episode Channel 31 series Inside the Garden; on a listing it just points at the home and the agent. Roughly five days brief-to-feed.
Run. Meta and Google ads aimed at two audiences at once — buyers in the catchment and vendors thinking of selling in your farm area. Ad spend bundled and paid at cost, no markup. The metric is appraisals booked and properties listed, not impressions.
Convert. A GoHighLevel CRM with missed-call text-back and follow-up sequences. A buyer who enquires on a Saturday night and hears nothing until Monday has already inspected three other homes. The follow-up is where agents quietly lose buyers and vendors both.
the honest bit about views
A glossy listing reel with 40,000 views and no appraisals booked is a hobby. We've watched a plain, well-shot walkthrough with a clear call-to-inspect and a text-back behind it out-perform the polished version on the only numbers that matter: appraisals, listings, sales. If an agency leads with reach, ask how many listings it won. That's what we report on.
FAQ
How much does real estate video marketing cost?
Our retainers start at $2,500/mo (three-month minimum, then month-to-month) with ad spend bundled at
cost. There's a one-off $497 Soft Launch — a half-day shoot and five reels in a week — to see the work
first. Numbers on the pricing page.
Do you shoot listings or my personal brand?
Both — and the personal-brand content is usually where the listings come from. Property video sells
the home; agent content wins the next vendor.
Can you handle the lead follow-up?
Yes, it's part of the retainer — missed-call text-back and sequences so the after-hours enquiry
doesn't go cold. One team, one invoice: shoot, run, convert. More on the
