New to video marketing? Start with the full strategy guide.

Commercial real estate moves on clarity. Buyers, tenants, and investors want to understand the asset fast—location context, layout, access, and the story behind the numbers.

  • Make listings easier to evaluate online
  • Create interest before the first call
  • Stand out in competitive broker pitches
  • Repurpose one property into multiple formats (website, social, ads)

With Listinghub.ai, you can produce commercial property videos in minutes using templates and AI—then scale that content across your entire portfolio.

What Commercial Real Estate Video Is (and What CRE Buyers Actually Care About)

Commercial real estate videography is different from residential video. Residential marketing often sells lifestyle. CRE marketing sells utility and clarity—how the space works, how the site connects to demand, and what the deal looks like at a high level.

Typical decision-makers care about:

  • Location context: access, visibility, traffic, proximity, submarket story
  • Space utility: layout, loading, ceiling height, frontage, parking, amenities
  • Use case fit: office, retail, industrial, multifamily, land
  • Next step: leasing inquiry, tour request, OM download, investor intro call

Video doesn’t replace your brochure or OM—it makes prospects want to open them.

What to Include in a Commercial Property Video (Shot List + Overlays)

Great CRE videos are simple: show the space clearly, add the right context, and guide the viewer to a next step.

Recommended Shot List

  • Exterior frontage + signage visibility
  • Access routes + parking / loading (if relevant)
  • Main lobby / entry → primary circulation path
  • Key spaces: suites, floor plates, bays, common areas
  • Amenities: conference, fitness, rooftop, outdoor areas (if relevant)
  • Location context: nearby anchors, transit, arterial roads

Overlays That Increase Clarity

  • Address + submarket
  • SF / unit mix or key specs (e.g., ceiling height, loading doors)
  • 3–5 “high impact” highlights
  • Clear CTA: leasing inquiry / tour / OM request

Tip: If your team has strong photos but no time to edit, you can still produce polished videos fast using an AI real estate video maker. AI real estate video maker

Commercial Real Estate Listing Videos (Fast, Consistent, On‑Brand)

A commercial listing video should answer one question: “Is this worth a call?”

Use listing videos for:

  • Office, retail, industrial, multifamily, and land listings
  • Leasing availability announcements
  • Portfolio or multi‑property overviews

Best practices:

  • Keep the story linear (site → entry → main spaces → highlights → CTA)
  • Use text overlays for specs and key differentiators
  • Export multiple versions: website cut + social cut + ad cut

Social Clips for CRE (LinkedIn + Short‑Form)

CRE social video isn’t about trends—it’s about credibility and clarity.

High-performing formats

  • - 15–30s “property highlight” clips
  • - 30–60s “submarket insight” clips
  • - Short broker commentary (“What makes this asset interesting…”)
  • - Before/after or progress updates for development projects

Where to publish

  • - LinkedIn for broker branding and investor attention
  • - YouTube for longer evergreen tours and submarket videos
  • - Instagram / short-form platforms for reach and retargeting

The goal is consistency: turning one property into multiple clips, not reinventing the wheel every time.

FAQ: Commercial Real Estate Video

What is commercial real estate video and how is it different from residential?
Commercial real estate videos focus on space utility and deal clarity—location context, layout, access, and decision-driving information—rather than lifestyle storytelling.
What types of commercial property videos work best?
Property highlight videos, site/context overviews, drone/aerial context cuts, short LinkedIn clips, and ad-ready versions for leasing or investor interest.
Can I create commercial real estate videos from photos or a listing link?
Yes. Many teams generate CRE videos from photos and key specs, then export versions for websites, social, and ads using an AI video maker like Listinghub.ai.
Can I use these videos for paid ads and lead generation?
Yes. Export ad-ready formats and use a clear offer (leasing inquiry, tour request, OM request). See our ad guide.
How does pricing work for commercial real estate video?
It depends on AI-only creation vs filming vs hybrid, plus how many deliverables you need. See plan options.
