A better video can help you sell your property easily and in less time with good deal. It also helps buyers to understand your property very well. To make your virtual tour / video tour best, keep following points in the mind:

1. Make clean video with proper lighting and sound:

The video should be clean with proper lighting and sound. If the lighting or sound is not clear then people will stop seeing your video and exit within 2-3 seconds. It's not necessary to use music or voice in the video but if you are using it it should be audible and easy to understand. Use soothing music that people like to listen to it.

You don't need to have costly and high-end equipment to make your video clear. You can shoot it with your phone or cam-coder. But, adjust lighting and do proper setting before you start shooting. You can take quick tutorial from YouTube or internet about video making.

2. Make attractive cover image / Thumbnail of the video.

Cover image / thumbnail is the first thing people see before watching a video. Cover image / thumbnail is the first impression. You can add price, features or a line of text that attract viewers or interested buyers to watch the video. For example Your Dream House in NewYork at $30 Million, Most expensive luxury home in Toronto, etc.

3. It should cover all the portions of the property.
Your real estate video should cover all the portion of the house including main as well as not considered main. Generally, people show their kitchen, bathrooms, drawing rooms and bed rooms only. But showing terrace, garden, back yard is as much important.

4. Show everything in detail.

More the details you show, more the visits you get and easy to sell it.
Prospective buyers want every detailed information about the property. For example, if you show the taps open in the sink with flowing water, people can understand
that it's working.

5. Reasonable length of the video.
Reasonable length of the video makes people to stay on. Shorter videos will not cover all the details. Longer videos can be boring and people may leave it without watching the full-details of the property. Normally, 5-15 minutes is idle time duration for real estate videos.

6. Description and keywords.

Your video should a a description including all the details like about the property, it's price and contact details. 300 or more words description is idle for real estate marketing videos.

Use keywords or tags in your videos, which are most relevant and with higher search volume.
