Video production for real estate
Property films, photography and agent content for real estate, shot to show a home the way buyers will live in it. Production Retainers from $1,500 NZD a month.
What it’s for
Real estate runs on images: a listing is judged on its first photo and the first few seconds of its video.
Agencies and agents use property films, aerial footage of the section and the neighbourhood, and photography for listings and print, but they also need content about themselves, because sellers choose an agent as much as buyers choose a house. Developments and new builds need content before anything is finished, which calls for a different kind of film.
What gets made
- Property listing films
- Aerial footage of the section and the neighbourhood
- Listing photography
- Agent profile and appraisal videos
- Development and off-the-plan project films
- Social clips for each listing
On the shoot
Accurate listings
Listing content has to show the property as it is, so Billie avoids lenses, angles and edits that would misrepresent the size, condition or outlook of a home.
Light and the time of day
Homes are shot when the main rooms get their best light, which depends on which way the house faces, so the shoot time is set by the property, not the diary.
Neighbours and drone flights
Flying over neighbouring properties needs the consent of the people who own or occupy them, so aerial shots are planned around the boundaries and the airspace rules.
Vendors’ privacy
Personal photos, documents, number plates and anything that identifies the vendors are cleared away or kept out of frame before the shoot begins.
Services
Where
Which retainer suits
Essential at $1,500 NZD a month, with one production session, suits an agent building a personal profile rather than covering listings. Creative at $3,000 NZD a month, with two sessions, suits a small team mixing listings with market updates, and Studio Partner, on enquiry, with weekly sessions, suits an office or developer with a steady flow of properties. A single development launch film can be quoted as Bespoke Production.

Questions
Is this a paid service?
Yes. Billie is a paid production company. Production Retainers are $1,500 NZD a month for Essential and $3,000 NZD a month for Creative, and Studio Partner is priced on enquiry. Projects outside a retainer are quoted per project as Bespoke Production.
Can Billie film a listing and the agent in the same session?
Often, yes. A session can cover a property in its best light and an agent piece to camera nearby, as long as the timing suits the house first.
Can you fly a drone over the property?
Where the airspace rules allow it and the neighbours whose properties the drone would cross have agreed. Billie checks each location before any flight.
