Real Estate Farming Videos

If you are ready to start rocking your real estate farming videos, this is the post for you! Recently we talked about Real Estate Marketing Videos – The Most Powerful Farming Tool Agents Have Today, and now we will look at 16 ways that you can use one little video to make a big impact on your marketing!

First off let's talk about what real estate farming videos are. Functionally they are a video that allows you take over a keyword in your farm neighborhood on Google or YouTube.

In it you will talk about a specific aspect of your farm and target a keyword that will help you to get listing calls! For example you could do a video of “Stratford Lakes Community Center – Presented by Denver Real Estate Agent Tena D!” In this case Tena would be targeting the keyword Denver Real Estate Agent AND Stratford Lakes which a subdivision of Denver.

Do You Have To Have Your Farming Videos Professionally Done?

In case you are worried that you have to have a super professional video to be successful, check out this video by St. Pete Real Estate Agent, Deborah Ward…

It has over 2,000 views and has resulted in Deb getting listing calls for this condo complex!

Now, there are a bunch of things wrong with this video, like she doesn't have a “call to action” to contact her or her website in the closing words, but it is her first effort. Deb's first effort was not perfect and neither will yours, but keep going and they will get better as you go!

What A Farming Video Is Not

Before we get to how to use these videos, let's talk about what does not count as a farming video. A listing video. This is not about marketing a particular home for sale, this is about marketing your real estate practice.

It should be specifically about a subdivision you are targeting in your farming efforts!
