How to Script a Real Estate Video
1. Lead with the most impressive feature
Never open a property video with the address or your name. Open with the property's strongest selling point — the view, the kitchen, the location, the price per square foot. You have 5 seconds to stop scrolling.
2. Structure by room — budget 20-30 seconds each
For a 2-3 minute listing video, budget 20-30 seconds per key room or feature. At 130 WPM that's 43-65 words per section. Write each section separately and check its timing before combining.
3. Leave silence for visual moments
Great property videos use silence strategically — let the view, the sunset, the kitchen island speak for themselves. Write your script shorter than the video length to account for 5-10 seconds of visual-only footage per minute.
4. End with a clear call to action
The last 15 seconds should contain your contact information and one clear action: "Schedule a showing today" or "DM me for the full virtual tour." Write this section last and time it separately.
💡 Real estate speaking pace tip: Professional real estate narrators speak at 120-135 WPM — slower than general video content. A measured pace sounds authoritative and gives viewers time to absorb property details. If your script times out too long — cut features, don't speed up delivery.
