Why Video is No Longer Optional for Agents
In 2025, the Real Estate market has shifted. Zillow and Redfin are no longer the only places buyers look for homes. According to recent NAR statistics, 73% of homeowners say they are more likely to list with an agent who uses video.
Social platforms like Instagram and TikTok prioritize vertical video (9:16) above all else. Static photos get buried in the feed, but a dynamic "Just Listed" Reel can reach thousands of local buyers organically.
The "Editing Trap" killing your productivity
Most agents know they need video, but they get stuck in the "Editing Trap." You take great photos, but then you spend 2 hours in complex video editing apps trying to sync music, add captions, and record a voiceover.
⚠️ The Opportunity Cost
Every hour you spend editing a video is an hour you aren't prospecting, showing homes, or closing deals. Your hourly rate as an agent is high—don't waste it on manual video editing.
