I was on a marketing panel earlier this week called Real Estate Goes Digital. During our session, we talked briefly about video marketing in real estate and how there’s an opportunity for doing some really great marketing with video.

That got me thinking…

Who’s doing video right?

And what sort of content should you be creating with video?

Well, I like this community video produced by real estate broker Greg Fischer.

But what other sorts of creative ways can you use video to promote your local community?

And that’s when I came across these… A collection of beautifully produced time-lapse videos that do an excellent job of promoting their respective cities.

What do you think… Would you create a time-lapse video to promote your area?

Or what other ways are you using video to market your listings and your communities?
