Be there on day one
Shoot on the photo visit, generate the clips that evening, post the coming-soon teaser, and have the walk-through on the listing page when it goes live. Ten minutes of extra photos; no waiting on an edit.
Video as the showing
Out-of-town and relocating buyers in a hot market offer from the video. Make it complete — every room, the garage, the yard, the systems — so an offer made from it holds at inspection.
Win the next one
The just-sold reel with 'multiple offers, X days' (with the seller's permission) is the listing presentation every seller in a hot market wants to see.
Questions
Is video worth it if the house will sell anyway?
The house sells; the video wins the next listing and protects the sale by producing an informed buyer.
Can I skip the walk-through and just post the reel?
Post the reel for attention, but the walk-through is what the remote buyer needs to offer. Both from the same clips.
