The Ultimate Guide to Video for Estate Agents

What Videos Should You Be Doing as an Estate Agent?

We think you need three!

A Pre-Appointment ‘Meet the Valuer’ Video to Build Trust

Make a great first impression by including a pre-recorded meet the valuer video within your pre-appointment presentation.

  • Include details on how long you’ve worked in the area
  • Add some of your stats and successes
  • Share what you’ll cover on the day

You’ll build trust and be seen as different from every other agent!

Professional Property Videos to Demonstrate Expertise

Showcase your services by including videos during the appraisal in a digital presentation such as:

  • Client testimonials
  • Meet the team / History / About Us videos
  • 360 virtual tours
  • Property showcase videos

Elevate your pitch to be memorable, professional, and engaging—even without needing any data or an internet connection.

A Personalised Video in the Proposal to Reiterate Your Value

Add a personalised video message to your digital proposal. You can:

  • Thank the client by name and reference specific property details
  • Deliver your valuation verbally
  • Reiterate your top unique selling points (USPs)
  • Describe the market situation

If only one decision maker was present, this is an incredibly powerful way to position yourself as a true professional and justify your fee.

Pre-Market Appraisal Video – Script Tips

Sending a video before the market appraisal is a great way to stand out and build trust. Clients love to see who they are meeting, which is why Acaboom enables you to include your own personalised valuer video within your pre-appointment presentation.

We know many agents struggle with what to say – to help, please find a range of tips and ideas for your script. Adapt these to your own unique tone and pick and choose what feels most like your agency.

Wondering what to include? Try:

  • Your name
  • Your excitement about meeting them
  • How long you’ve been a valuer/with the agency
  • What to expect on the day
  • How long the appointment will take
  • What they will get from the market appraisal
  • How it fits into the property journey
  • What to do if they need to cancel or have questions

Valuer videos are a great way to stand out from other agents and offer something memorable to clients. Here are some tips:

  • Be Authentic and Genuine: Speak confidently and naturally, as if meeting in person.
  • Plan Your Content: Outline the key points you want to cover before recording.
  • Pay Attention to Video Quality: Use natural light or invest in a smartphone tripod/external microphone for clearer visuals and sound.
  • Keep It Concise: Aim for a video length of around 2 minutes.
  • Edit for Clarity: Remove long pauses or mistakes to keep viewers engaged.

Remember, the goal of your pre-market appraisal video is to showcase your expertise and build trust with potential clients.
