Ready to upgrade your real estate video marketing? You’re right on time. Summer’s here—and so is a fresh bump of listings and homebuyer demand. If you want to break through the noise, video marketing is your secret weapon.

In 2025, engaging video content isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s essential for grabbing attention, building trust, and converting leads. Here’s how to create scroll-stopping videos that help you win the summer season.

Master the 3 Types of Real Estate Video Marketing

To keep your audience engaged, rotate between these three core formats of video marketing for Realtors:

🎥 Property Tours: Highlight the features, flow, and feel of each listing. Use captions for mobile viewers.
🎤 Agent Intros + Behind-the-Scenes: Humanize your brand and show your expertise.
📲 Local Lifestyle Content: Spotlight neighborhoods, restaurants, parks, and events that sell the area.

Pro Tip: Use vertical video for Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, formats that dominate mobile screens.

The Best Real Estate Video Marketing is Short, Sweet, and Subtitled

Before you dive in to film and edit videos, remember that attention is in high demand. You’ve got just 3 seconds to stop someone mid-scroll. That means your video needs:

  • A strong hook in the first 5 seconds
  • Clear visuals (think: great lighting and framing)
  • Subtitles—because most users watch on mute
  • A call to action (like “DM for a private tour” or “Click to learn more”)

In our experience with real estate social videos, agents should aim for 30–60 seconds for social and under 3 minutes for YouTube.

Short, engaging videos help buyers fall in love faster.

Promote Your Videos Where Buyers Are Already Scrolling

Don’t let great content sit unseen by posting it into the void. Instead, post your real estate marketing videos strategically across the most important online platforms, including:

📍 Instagram Reels
📍 Facebook Stories
📍 YouTube (Shorts + full tours)
📍 LinkedIn (for agent branding)
📍 Google Business Profile (yes, you can upload video!)

And don’t forget to embed videos on your listing pages and email newsletters for even more views.
