Vancouver Real Estate Video Quotes: A Guide for Listing Agents
A Vancouver real estate video quote should describe how the property will be filmed and what the agent will receive. A short vertical edit, a filmed walkthrough and an agent-led campaign involve different work even when their finished runtimes are similar.
This guide helps you brief an available Vancouver provider. It does not supply a verified local price average or confirm Melon Media production availability in Vancouver.
Start with the type of video
Ask whether the proposal includes new on-site footage, editing of existing footage or motion created from photographs. Specify whether the goal is to explain the layout, introduce an agent or highlight a feature. Those choices determine the capture and edit requirements.
For a condo, confirm building access, elevator arrangements, balcony coverage and permission for amenities. For a house, include separate levels, outdoor spaces and any additional buildings in the brief.
Separate capture costs from finished edits
| Stage | Questions to ask |
|---|---|
| Planning | Who prepares the sequence, script or interview prompts? |
| Filming | What crew, equipment, locations and time are included? |
| Editing | Which versions, captions, graphics and revisions are included? |
| Delivery | When will each version be ready and how may it be used? |
Account for the view and access
Where a window or balcony view is important, plan exposure and timing so the interior and actual view remain believable. Identify elevated or waterfront positions in advance, including who controls access. Do not assume a drone can capture a requested angle; the operator must assess the site and current requirements.
A separate exterior location, an additional lighting window or a return visit changes the production scope. Put these requirements into the quote rather than adding them after the shoot.
Specify formats before filming
A horizontal property film and a vertical social edit may need different framing. Ask whether both are planned at capture and whether each receives its own edit. Confirm any branded and unbranded requirements with the intended listing platform instead of assuming one rule applies everywhere.
For an agent-led video, agree on speaking points, audio capture, factual review and the number of takes the schedule can support. A clear outline helps the agent prepare without inventing a rigid word count.
Compare the final written proposals
Use the same brief for each provider. Check travel, parking, permissions, applicable taxes, licences, revisions, delivery and weather terms. Compare complete example films with a similar scope.
