Using Video for Sales: Proven Strategies for Modern Selling
As a luxury real estate agent in Silicon Valley and Santa Cruz County, I not only marketed high-value properties but also produced immersive experiences—from broker tours and community events to digital storytelling through video and social media. I treat every event as a strategic brand opportunity, combining my hospitality-driven mindset with digital engagement to create memorable, high-converting moments.
There are many types of sales videos that support a high-end sales cycle—whether you’re marketing a luxury home or a premium senior living lifestyle. Below are a few key strategies I’ve used to generate interest, educate prospects, and move them confidently through the decision-making process.
Short explainer videos are incredibly effective, as are personalized Loom videos that showcase a property tour or provide tailored information for out-of-town family members who may not have seen the residence. When possible, I prefer to show, not just tell—using screen recordings, video walkthroughs, or subtle animations to highlight a property’s features and how they align with the client’s lifestyle.
It’s important to remember that people absorb information in different ways: some are visual learners, others prefer reading data and statistics, while many are drawn to the emotional tone that music and storytelling can bring to a video. A thoughtful mix of content types often leads to deeper engagement and stronger results.
I use Capcut as my editing tool to create short videos. I categorize my “evergreen video” content and put them in my drip feed which I automate.
I used Follow Up Boss, a streamlined CRM built specifically for real estate agents. It helps organize my leads, automate follow-up, and track every interaction—so no opportunity slips through the cracks. Over time, I noticed that both buyers and sellers often ask similar questions—so I created educational videos, edit customizable responses if necessary, that address their concerns while still feeling personal. This not only saves time but also builds trust by showing I understand their concerns before they even ask.
I’ve found that YouTube Shorts work especially well as quick explainer videos, and they’re easy to share via text—particularly with Boomers and Gen-X clients, who often prefer texting over email. While email remains a great option, I always tailor my communication style to each client’s preference. And if they have questions, I make sure to follow up with a personal phone call.
Most of my custom tours and personalized videos are set to private or unlisted, so they’re only accessible to the intended recipient—especially when a client prefers discretion. However, because this video is evergreen and useful for a broader audience, I’ve made it public for easy access and sharing. (People enjoy seeing landmarks in their community, it’s fun!)
