We supply high-end video services to real estate brokers and agents serving the luxury home market. As videographers, editors, and story tellers, we invest the time and attention required to produce high quality video.

We emphasize the value that landscapes, gardens, trees, wildlife, water features, and window views bring to the enjoyment of an estate. If the deer visit in the evening, we may schedule a videotaping session at that time to include them in the video. If an owl or hawk is nesting on the property, we will do our best to capture their beauty on video. If a hummingbird appears in the garden while we are videotaping, we may include it in the video (click here for example). Optionally, we may schedule multiple videotaping sessions at various times of the day to more fully capture the natural beauty of the estate (click here for example).

How We Create Your Video

We schedule a minimum of two hours for our professional videographers to videotape your estate. During this time we videotape your paradise from a variety of angles and points of view. Using smooth pans, zooms and careful selection of scenes, we capture the estate’s most notable qualities and features.

The videography session typically produces 45 – 60 minutes of raw footage that is distilled to produce your 1½ – 3 minute Luxury Home Video. In the editing bay, all scenes are reviewed and prioritized for possible use. Ultimately, only the best scenes make the final cut. Music is selected. Great care and effort goes into matching the dynamics of the music to the scenes. Editing for each video takes approximately 4 – 6 hours.

The next step is to export a full resolution version of the video. At this stage the file for 1½ – 3 minute video is very large, typically 325 – 650 MB. Using specialized software, this large file is encoded and compressed into four different smaller files. Three are for the web. The fourth is for the full resolution DVD. The video files are loaded onto our web servers, and a custom web page for your offering is created. Finally, we design a label, and burn the project to DVD. Throughout the process, numerous inspections are performed to ensure final quality.

A Luxury Home Video may cost more than a traditional virtual tours made from stills. This is because it requires more labor, skill, artistry, and technology. However, the difference in presentation quality places your offering in a class noticeably above the competition. Luxury Home Videos also have many selling advantages over virtual tours.

We believe that the presentation of your client’s greatest work of art, and likely their biggest financial investment, is worth this extra effort and attention.

Offering your potential clients a Luxury Home Video as part of your marketing plan, can increase your property listings.
