When we see someone else walking through a house or a building we see ourselves in that same spot.

We as costa ricans can tell you that we’re in a jungle, our country is one of the most rainy and tropical places on Earth, so keep that in mind when you’ll be making plans for the next house you film.

In the rainy season we recommend you to roll the cameras before noon, generally the precipitation arrives after 1:00 pm. Besides, there will be less hours of natural light, your best ally.

Ask for the weather forecast and make sure not to film during hurricane season, this might be a huge problem in the coastal zones of our country.

Another factor to think about is the sustainable projects boom, a tendency that is gaining much force and popularity here. Costa Rica produces 99% of its energy, coming from renewable energies such as wind, geoterm or the sun.

The country is internationally known for its fight against deforestation and the environmental protection laws, back in the 80’s the 90% of our tropical jungles have vanished, in 2021 60% of Costa Rica were protected areas.

Thanks to this, hotels, houses and even whole neighborhoods use solar panels, encouraging people to recycle and reuse water.

We can bet you will be moving around the rooms so the potential customers can see the materials and details. A shot with lots of movement is not a good one, so you’ll have to use a stabilizer with your camera or smartphone.

Know your customers

Finding your target audience is one of the best ways to reach success quickly on social media, every company has it and even their advertising campaigns are oriented to them.

Knowing your potential customers is important when you’re creating your professional real estate videography.

What do you sell? Is it closer to the mountain or the beach? Condos or houses?

Ask your customers if they love nature, if they have a partner or are on their own, pets, kids, if they practice some sport or have a hobby related inside home, if this will be their main house or just a vocational residency.

The intentions that potential customers have are the best indicator where the video theme should go.

Keep in mind the place or region where you are located, it’s not the same to sell properties in Guanacaste, than Limón or Valle Central, every place and population has their own characteristics that makes it unique.

Talk around with neighbors, visit small businesses close to the place, your customers will like to know details such as security, accessibility and even infrastructure such as highways or local roads.

Investigate which services as hospitals, schools or government offices are close, the same for entertainment places as malls.

Once you know your target audience then it will be easier to make videos for your company, so will be the language you speak in front of the camera.

Probably you’re not among the youngest population that knows every tendency and every famous tiktoker, this doesn’t mean that you cannot use these tools in order to generate interest and potential customers as a real estate videography professional.

Few people are open to watching a 10-20 minutes video without previous interest, the best way to create short audiovisual material that doesn’t come longer than a minute.

It’s a time to tell what people need to know, invite them to watch a longer video if they still interested.

Try “Lives” on social media, this will make you closer to followers, they’ll see you don’t need edition to talk to them, podcasts are another powerful tool these days, you can even invite other real estate agents so they can share their experiences with you and your public.

If there’s something good about tendencies is that you can create content with these experiences, no need for new filming sessions, besides it’s an excellent way to attract new followers. You’ll have natural produced material.

Make catching intros, these days people can change videos only with a finger slide, it’s normal you have 3 or 5 seconds to convince the public to watch your videos until the end.

You have to learn how to use social media as it is, tools that allow us to connect with millions of people around, but this time you are going to connect your company with the world.
