Good video. Most splits for agents these days are 80/20 and most have a cap. Once the cap is paid, they get 100%. Not all brokers do this. But we do have other fees that we always have to pay no matter what for each listing. We pay for photography, videography, magazine ads, online ads, social media ads, e-flyers, actual flyers, extra signage, open house things like food, water, drinks, events for larger houses, cleaners, staging consultations, floor plan creation and I'm sure I missed a few.
I really like the way you approach the agents, and how you break down the commission too. I'm gonna save this video as a guideline to follow. Thanks for sharing. This video is super helpful.
Representing H-Town!! Im from Houston as well (Sugarland, Stafford, Alief when Alief was nice lol) but I live in Jacksonville, Fl. Im glad I stumbled onto your video! Good tips and definitely going to use it. I have a couple of friends that are RE agents and Im working on getting into this RE business but not full time just yet. Gotta work on my portfolio. Thanks again and I will subscribe!
great video as always truly appreciate all of the game you just gave us I know you get a million questions but I figured id shoot my shot with mine. I recently invested in a Blackmagic 4k and was wondering if you ever use yours for real-estate videos?
Can you update this method?? i cant find the agents names or emails anymore it just has a form that says fill out a form to let Zillow know im interested
Hey so I started doing this but on Zillow and Redfin, I can not find their direct email to contact the agents. It forces me to get in contact with a Redfin or Zillow personnel.
What I have not heard mentioned is ... what if the house does not sell? What does the agent make after spending what must be spent upon advertising? $ 0. There are many reasons why the house does not sell or is taken off the market.
My current set up is the Sony a6400 and dji mavic air 2! Do you have any recommendations for the best gimbal since the Sony a6400 doesn’t have in body stabilization?
What's up Brandon. Love the video tips. I'm using a Ronin RS3 Gimbal and I recently purchased the Vertical adapter but I see most Real Estate Videographers shoot Landscape. What are your thoughts on shooting Portrait ?
It really depends on where the realtor is planning on sharing the content. However if you shoot horizontal you can crop for vertical it just won’t be the best resolution
My mom is a real estate agent in the Bryan College Station area and she has been doing it longer than I've been alive so 17 years and I have grown up with the all the agents so not to brag but I've got a small leg up in the Bryan College Station area. I love this video I am 16 and am starting out I just got my first gimbal with money I earned taking pictures of houses
Maybe you could start making your first real estate video for free? In this way you could test how well your shooting skills currently are and also build up some experience which can be shown to your future clients. Once you kickstart your videographer in the real estate business, you can definitely go on bigger depending on your skills and network. I hope this helps!
Yeah micro 4/3 typically is about a two times crop. So that gave you a24mm. Not wide enough. I’d go with Lawoa zero D 9mm lens. It has no distortion (they say) but it’s for sure not a fisheye.
Great video! Even though I have a demo reel and website I haven’t done real estate before. I want to get into it but people always ask to see previous experience. How would I go about making a reel if I can’t get the work to make one? I thought about filming local architecture.
If you can you should ask your friends/family who had a decent house if you can shoot a real estate video of their house to sdd to your portfolio. Then when agents ask you to see what sort of work you produce, you link the demo video in the email. Hope that could help a bit :)
Good stuff. Thank you for your thorough and helpful content. If I may ask...about how long did it take you to get to making this amount? Thanks in advance! Keep it up.
Has anyone ever got 6 listings from 20 cold emails? 🤷♂️My ratio is way lower... Brandon if you can show me you can get 6 new listings with normal rates from 20 cold emails I will Venmo you $100. I think you are way too optimistic about how hard it is to book a client. Other than that I love the video and your strategies. Thanks for sharing. You rock!
20 emails maybe for 1 listing, and I would try to give them a call too to see if they even saw my email, they are probably getting tones of emails every day
I want to do this, but I don't have a drone. I have the bmpcc 4k and the Crane 2S. Do you think it's possible to make money via real estate with only this equipment if I charge a bit less money? Obviously, the money I make could be put towards getting a drone.
You don’t need to charge less. I up charge for a drone shot and only use max 10 seconds of drone peppered in. Offer just a “cinematic” video for $400 or $500. If they really want drone tell them it’s an extra $200. And then go buy a used mavic air and it pays for itself in one job.
Sadly, email is likely not a good way to contact many of these higher end agents. One that I know literally deletes 100% of them once a week unless she is texted or told of something important to look for. Everything else she gets is either garbage, answered via other parts of the process, or simply unofficial noise that wastes her time.
Aye wassup I ben struggling how do I get paid from real estate agents when I do a video for there property🏠, do they pay me in💵cash Apple 🍎 pay, Cash App✅, Zell? Also do they pay me before I do there real estate video for them or after?
This coulda worked 4 years ago, the way houses are selling now & days all you need is an android phone to shoot a video and the house will sell that same day
Okay i must be the slowest video editer, because editing 6 videos a week sounds like way too much lol I've only filmed 1 real estate video so far, so I'm sure I'll get more efficient with practice, but it took me 5 hours to edit lol Having to color grade each clip, having to stabilize the footage, decide how you want it layed out. That's time consuming stuff. Am i just hella slow?
I can't find one real estate to give me a chance even for free. I'm trying to break into this niche, but not having any prior examples of my work within real estate has been making things difficult.
Rent a Airbnb and shoot that. Goto home owners who are selling and offer to make a video for them for social media and to send to their agent for free. Think outside the box to get some experience
Lets say you charge $500. Do you include editing of the video? Or do you up-sell to edit each video? I think $500 to shoot it is pretty good, but then you have all the editing to do. Just wondered your thoughts on this. Thanks and keep up the great work!!
Your awesome omg I just got a mini2 from dji my sister is a realtor so I'm gonna try and help her but omg your vids are informative and phucking funny at the same time thanx brother I'm gonna sub and try to learn how to help my sis and maybe make a few extra bucks lol... Love this vid
No. Contact a real estate company and tell them you normally charge $1200-$2000 for video production but since you’re looking to build your portfolio, you are willing to do it a no cost or a small fee.
It's pretty easy to shoot luxury listings for free, actually. As long as the properties are vacant, the agents usually say yes as long as you allow them to use the finished product. Just be up front with them about building your portfolio. It's how I started building my portfolio, and also made some great relationships which led to many more paid jobs with those same agents. Beats the heck out of paying for an Airbnb and meeting no one along the way.
This is really good advice but one BIG thing that's missing from the conversation here, as well as the math, is the editing. Editing is definitely the bottleneck for me. Perhaps there are some pro tips in the course...
I don’t know anything from personal experience in this regarding but I’m trying learn more about the filming real estate opportunity but in my research I came across a RUclips who goes over the business side of film making and he was discussing this site www.videohusky.com who does unlimited video editing. The RUclipsr site who I just started following less than 12 hour where he mentioned it is ruclips.net/video/29Z3BXbzE7g/видео.html. Hope this helps !
Agents are NOT willing to spend that much money. They are cheap. Maybe if you have a multi-million dollar house, MAYBE. I shoot real estate here in Toronto, no one will be paying that much. You must be doing a heck of a lot more than just shooting - website, photos, etc. Houses will sell, real estate is a big buy. No matter what, it will sell.
@@nvghtmares Yeah, no. Not true. Have you been paid $3K for shooting a property? If you're shooting architecture, for an architect or a designer, THEN you could expect possibly $3K. But you will NEVER get $3K from a real estate listing
@@nvghtmares For just photography, which agents would much rather have than a video, you're looking at a Max of $400 anywhere within USA and Canada. Even that is very high. Average is about $250/listing for real estate. An agent is there to sell the house. The photos or videos are only temporary. It's not like you're shooting for a brand or architect where they will be used for years and years. An agent would rather just have phone pics or videos than spend $3K on soneone professional. I've heard people pushing it to about a thousand or so for a video, but now that everything is so saturated, and anyone can take photos or videos with their own phone or camera, that's not gonna happen anymore
WAIT. YOU LIVE IN HOUSTON?!!?!? HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS! I live about an ho and a half outside of Houston! Wow! You’re dope and I’d love to meet you one day!
I researched Zillow and I found out that the agent listed there is not always the agent. If they’re not available it goes to another agent immediately. Therefore, since house will be sold to any available agent, would that mean that it’s not worth them to pay for a video when another agent can make the sale?

I’m not a videographer, or a photographer, but I do love learning about different subjects, and your videos are super informative and engaging.
Why am I psyched about trying this?!!?! Like for real...
I'm perusing this, thanks for the instruction and tips. If you can have 1 lens with a ZV-E10, is the tamron 11-20mm a good option?
This was very nice of you, man. Respect 100%
Brooooooooooo this is the most informative and funny video I served in long time, please do more of this content! Your impro are so point
Thank you so much for your knowledge, I hope to learn more from your real estate training course.
Sick video Brandon! Just learned so much from you
Really great advice and tips here Brandon. Thank you!
How many videos should I have to show my work? 2 - 5?
great video as always truly appreciate all of the game you just gave us I know you get a million questions but I figured id shoot my shot with mine. I recently invested in a Blackmagic 4k and was wondering if you ever use yours for real-estate videos?
Yes I use blackmagic for real estate
Best video on here, Big Facts
Morning Brandon thanks for the video
goddamn, THIS is the video I've been looking for, thank you!
Great, informative brother 🙏🏻👊🏻
I’m just now seeing this as I am about to tap into this market !!!!
You’re so awesome for this !
Great video! Just out of curiosity is the $500.00 charge you are referencing also entail drone footage? Or would that be a separate fee?
Bruh, you just made my Monday great, thanks for the info!
Can you update this method?? i cant find the agents names or emails anymore it just has a form that says fill out a form to let Zillow know im interested
I love yo videos bro. You are my biggest teacher & inspiration for pursing videography. I hope to work with you someday
Hey so I started doing this but on Zillow and Redfin, I can not find their direct email to contact the agents. It forces me to get in contact with a Redfin or Zillow personnel.
Was in the market for a home in Houston; will you link myself to a current video of yours of a house that is presently on the mls...?

Wow, thank you Brandon. This was awesomely informative. 👍🏾
500K for a house where I live will get you a one room hut 🤦♂️🤦♂️😂
That just means you should be able to charge even more lol.
Love your videos bro! very inspiring and very helpful
i'm gonna try this out bro thanks!
My current set up is the Sony a6400 and dji mavic air 2! Do you have any recommendations for the best gimbal since the Sony a6400 doesn’t have in body stabilization?

Great video! I really enjoy your business vids. Would like to see a more in-depth video on creating contracts to fit each project and pricing.
Okay, but how do you even start getting experience? How can you start doing this without any real estate videos? How do you START
Maybe you could start making your first real estate video for free? In this way you could test how well your shooting skills currently are and also build up some experience which can be shown to your future clients. Once you kickstart your videographer in the real estate business, you can definitely go on bigger depending on your skills and network. I hope this helps!
any starting wide lens for full frame (canon) for real estate videography please?
Your course is fairly priced. Does it include standing out from competition and website design for real estate videographer.
No it doesn't but that is a good idea. I should add a module for that. Thanks for that Idea.
What is a good wide angle lens. I usually use ff cams but decided to use my pocket 4k with a new 12mm lens and it was not wide enough at all
Yeah micro 4/3 typically is about a two times crop. So that gave you a24mm. Not wide enough. I’d go with Lawoa zero D 9mm lens. It has no distortion (they say) but it’s for sure not a fisheye.
