What it costs to film your property.
Real estate video runs $500 to $2,000+ per property, and where a listing lands inside that comes down to how long it takes to shoot. Below is the whole picture — the ranges, what moves them, and what is included every time. No form to fill in first.
Listing films
For agents and brokerages. Square footage is the rough guide; layout and travel move it inside the range.
Standard listing
$500 – $800
Homes up to 2,000 sq ft
The everyday listing film. Enough coverage to carry a listing across the MLS, your site, and social without feeling thin.
- 60–90 second horizontal film
- Aerial drone coverage
- Two vertical cuts for Reels and Stories
- Stills pulled from the footage
- Delivery in 48 hours
Signature listing
$800 – $1,400
Homes 2,000 – 4,000 sq ft
More house, more time on site, and a twilight return for the exterior that actually sells the listing.
- 90–120 second horizontal film
- Aerial drone coverage
- Twilight exterior return
- Three vertical cuts
- Full-resolution stills
- Delivery in 48 hours
Luxury & estate
$1,400 – $2,000+
4,000 sq ft and above, acreage, waterfront
Multi-day where the property needs it. Quoted per property, because two estates are never the same shoot.
- Length paced to the property
- Multi-day and multi-light shooting
- Twilight and golden hour
- Full vertical set
- Full-resolution stills
- Priority scheduling
Add-ons
Drone and vertical cuts are not on this list, because they are not extras — they are in every tier above.
- $75 – $150
AI virtual staging
Per room, in the film and in the stills. Staged and unstaged cuts ship together.
- +$200
Twilight return
A second visit at dusk. Included at Signature and above.
- +$100
Extra vertical cuts
Each, beyond what the tier includes.
- +$150
Rush delivery
Next morning instead of 48 hours, subject to the schedule.
- No charge
Occupied or tenant-occupied
It changes how we shoot, not what it costs.
Builders & developers
Builder and development work is priced per project or retained, not per listing. Most of it runs longer than a single shoot.
Single project film
From $1,500
One build, one finished film
A finished home, a model, or a completed commercial space, cut for marketing and pre-sales.
- Full-day shoot
- Aerial and ground coverage
- Marketing cut plus social versions
- Full-resolution stills
Progress documentation
From $650
Per site visit
Scheduled visits through the build. A filmmaker at milestones, not a camera bolted to a pole.
- Milestone visits on your schedule
- Aerial progress coverage
- Short update cut per visit
- Stills for investor and stakeholder decks
Community & multi-phase
Quoted
Ongoing, retained
Multi-phase communities and multifamily developments shot as one consistent library you draw from for months.
- Monthly or per-phase retainer
- Consistent look across phases
- Model home and amenity coverage
- Priority scheduling across sites
What moves the price
A range is only useful if you know which end you are on. These are the six things that decide it.
Size and layout
Square footage is the rough guide, but a 2,500 sq ft home with eight small rooms takes longer than an open 3,500.
Travel
Anywhere in Clark County or the Portland metro is included. Beyond the metro we quote travel up front.
Time of day
Twilight means a second visit and a second setup. It is the shot that sells the listing, and it is not free.
Turnaround
48 hours is standard. Faster is possible and costs more, because something else moves to make room.
Occupancy
Occupied homes take longer to shoot around. We do not charge extra for it, but it affects scheduling.
Scope of the cut
One film is one price. A film plus six vertical cuts plus a builder's sizzle reel is a different job.
Included at every tier
- Licensed, insured, FAA Part 107 drone operation
- Full commercial usage rights for the property and your brand
- Colour grading and licensed music
- Reshoot if weather ruins the exterior
Questions
Are these the final numbers?
They are the honest ranges. Where a property lands inside one comes down to size, layout, travel, and how fast you need it — all of which we can settle in a two-minute call once we know the address.
Is drone included or extra?
Included, at every tier. Aerial coverage is part of a listing film, not an upsell — a lot of studios bill it separately at $100 to $700.
How fast is delivery?
48 hours as standard, from the day of the shoot. Rush delivery for the next morning is available depending on the schedule.
Do you shoot vertical for Reels and TikTok?
Yes, and they are shot separately rather than cropped out of the horizontal film. A crop from a wide frame loses the composition; a dedicated vertical pass does not.
What does virtual staging cost compared to real staging?
Traditional staging runs $1,500 to $5,000 for the first month on one home, plus a monthly fee while the listing sits. We quote virtual staging by the room, and nothing is delivered, moved, or rented. Both the staged and unstaged cuts ship together so disclosure is straightforward.
Do you work with builders on an ongoing basis?
Yes. Progress documentation and multi-phase community work are retained rather than booked per shoot, which keeps the look consistent across a build that runs for a year or more.
What if the weather is bad?
We reshoot the exterior at no charge. A grey sky on a twilight shot is not a delivery.
Do you travel outside the Portland metro?
For developments and luxury properties, yes. Travel beyond Clark County and the Portland metro is quoted up front rather than added afterwards.
Send the address and we'll quote it properly.
A range gets you to the right ballpark. One look at the property gets you the actual number, usually the same day.
