With a videographer
Booking lead time, an hour to three on site, and an edit that comes back in days depending on their queue. Revisions add a round trip. The listing usually goes live before the video does.
Doing it yourself
A gimbal walk-through and a phone edit is an afternoon once you are good at it, and longer while you learn. Most agents stop after a few because of the time.
From photos
- 1Ten extra minutes on the visit: three to five photos per room in sequence.
- 2Upload, confirm the opening and landing frames, pick the move, generate — a minute per room.
- 3Each 5-second clip renders in a few minutes in the background; you get a notification.
- 4Cut the reel in the editor with music and your logo from the brand kit — a few minutes more.
The video is ready the same day the listing goes live, which is when it matters most.
Questions
Do I have to wait on the page while it renders?
No. Queue the clips and come back; a notification tells you when each is ready.
Can a whole listing be generated at once?
On Top Producer and Brokerage, the AI Listing Planner runs a plan through to finished clips and reels in one click; on Agent you build each clip from the plan yourself.
