With advancements in technology, automatic video generation using video editing APIs like JSON2Video has revolutionized the way real estate properties are presented to buyers. In this article, we will explore the benefits of using video as a marketing tool for real estate and how video automation can enhance the process.

Captivating Visual Experience

Videos provide a dynamic and immersive experience that engages potential buyers in a way that static images and text descriptions cannot. With automatic video generation, real estate agents and marketers can showcase properties in a captivating and visually appealing manner.

By incorporating shots of the property's interior, exterior, amenities, and nearby attractions, videos provide a comprehensive view, giving buyers a realistic sense of the property's ambiance and features.

Video automation allows real estate professionals to tell a story and evoke a sense of lifestyle associated with a property. By incorporating music, voiceovers, and carefully selected visuals, videos can create an emotional connection that resonates with potential buyers, making them more likely to envision themselves living in the property.

Your data

It's probably the case that you have a database, an Excel sheet, an API or even a plain CSV or JSON file with tens, hundreds or thousands of records of your available properties on sale. The magic of video automation is that it can be used to create videos at scale by connecting a your data source to a template.

If you are a real estate agent, you may want to integrate with an existing data platform that has a database of available properties. For example, MLS Router, by Realtyna, is a service platform for real estate agents that allows them to connect with MLS and other data sources to create custom real estate listings.

Select a video template

Once you have your data source ready, then you need the video template you want to apply. You can choose from pre-designed video templates or you can create your own video templates using a visual template editor.
