Real Estate Video benefits
A professional real estate video is an invaluable tool for real estate agents and property owners, as it showcases the homes features and highlights its biggest strengths. No matter how good your real estate photography may be, it simply can’t compare to a videos ability to sell the homes flow, feel and living experience. Many statistics within the real estate market show that videography provides an excellent return on investment in relation to sales, lead generation, credibility, ROI, and more. Real estate videography can also be a powerful marketing tool for short-term rentals, such as those listed on Airbnb and VRBO. As most renters book these homes without seeing them in person first, it becomes even more paramount to provide potential renters with video showing what it’s truly like to stay at their home, highlighting the property’s features, layout, and amenities in a way that photographs simply cannot.
Buyers feel at home
Video provides potential buyers and renters with an unmatched perspective of the properties layout and a true tour of all the rooms and how they connect, allowing them to visualize themselves living in the home and surrounding area.
INCREASED VALUE
Buyers exposed to full-motion videos generally react more positively to the featured property, and perceive them as having a higher value. Statistics from the National Association of Realtors show that video marketing can significantly increase inquiries, website traffic, and sales.
Video SELLS
Video marketing is the single most practical use for your marketing time and energy. Simply put, people find video helpful in making shopping decisions every day. Video reaches a broader audience and helps bolster your online presence.
About Us
Hey there! I’m Jon and It’s safe to say that I’ve had a passion for filmmaking for most of my life. From a very young age, me and my friends were making movies with my parents camcorder. I then took my passion for video to Columbia College Chicago, where I graduated with a degree in Film + Video Editing.
When I’m not behind the camera shooting the latest listing about to hit the market, you can find me behind the camera shooting the biggest day of two people lives as a professional wedding videographer for my company Plan A. I also run a vintage Photo Booth business called Photique. What can I say, I love being an entrepreneur.
After nearly two decades in the great city of Chicago, I started a family in the historic suburb of La Grange, IL. I have two incredible young girls who mean the world to me and who knows, maybe this is the year me and their mother finally find the time to have a wedding of our own!
Over the past 6 years, I’ve been lucky enough to work as a professional real estate videographer, shooting over 500 properties in and around the Chicagoland area and, hopefully, I’ll be lucky enough to shoot your property next!
