What TV-level marketing means
TV-level marketing blends cinematic production with targeted distribution so your home looks and feels like the lead feature. It pairs premium visuals, clear messaging, and controlled access to attract serious buyers.
Core assets you receive
- Lifestyle film (1–2 minutes). A cinematic short that shows how life feels in and around your home. Includes tasteful community b‑roll and a refined, warm voiceover when appropriate.
- Property tour video (60–90 seconds). A guided look at architectural highlights, flow, and finishes.
- Drone footage. Aerials that show lot position, rooflines, and neighborhood context using FAA‑certified operators.
- Twilight photography. Hero exterior images that elevate curb appeal.
- 3D walkthrough. A Matterport‑style tour for remote and relocation buyers.
- Short vertical edits. 15–30 second Reels and shorts optimized for social and paid placements.
- High‑resolution stills. HDR images for MLS, print, and ads.
- Lifestyle b‑roll library. Amenity and neighborhood clips that strengthen paid campaigns.
Smart production process
- Plan and storyboard. Script the lifestyle film to highlight unique selling points like custom millwork, chef’s kitchen, and private lot setting.
- Stage and prep. Professional staging 1–2 days before the shoot, with a simple declutter checklist and an access schedule that respects your routines.
- Shoot day. One day on site for interiors, exteriors, drone, and twilight.
- Post‑production. Edit, color grade, license music, and produce versions for web, social, and Connected TV.
- Deliverables. 4K masters, web‑optimized MP4s, vertical and square cuts, and print‑ready stills.
Distribution that reaches real buyers
Great content only works when it’s placed in front of the right audience at the right time. Your campaign combines local visibility with precision targeting.
Streaming and Connected TV
Your cinematic spots run on major streaming environments like Roku, Hulu, YouTube TV, and other programmatic CTV placements. Targeting is dialed to ZIP codes, income proxies, and interest segments so affluent households in and around Germantown actually see your home while they stream.
YouTube and social video
Pre‑roll and in‑feed YouTube placements drive qualified traffic to the property page. On Instagram and Facebook, short vertical edits and carousel ads build reach, while retargeting brings back viewers who watched a meaningful portion of the video.
Direct and private channels
Email and private previews engage Mia’s sphere and a wider agent network for invitation‑only showings. For sellers who want controlled exposure, private video links and agent‑only previews help qualify buyers before any on‑site visit.
Privacy and control for 38139 sellers
High‑end sellers in Germantown often prefer discretion. Your plan is designed to showcase the home while protecting your privacy.
Privacy options you can choose
- Limited public address. Promote by neighborhood with a suppressed street number in public ads.
- Pre‑qualified showings. Require lender letters and agent vetting before appointments.
- Off‑market or quiet launch. Share with vetted prospects and agents first, then go public when you are ready.
- Protected media. Use watermarked, stream‑only video links for private previews.
Compliance and safety
Commercial drone operators must hold FAA Part 107 certification and carry insurance. Public park or roadway filming may require city or county permits, and HOA rules can limit signage or filming. MLS rules also apply to video use and “coming soon” promotion. Your plan accounts for these items upfront so there are no surprises.
Budgets aligned to your price band
Every listing deserves quality, and spending should match your expected sale price.
- Lifestyle film. Typical range 3,000 to 15,000 plus depending on scope.
- Video and stills package. Often 800 to 3,500.
- Drone and twilight. Drone 250 to 800, twilight add 150 to 500.
- Staging. From 1,500 to 10,000 plus based on size and level.
- Post‑production versions. Plan 10 to 25 percent extra for vertical cuts and subtitles.
- Paid media launch. Expect 1,500 to 8,000 for 2–4 weeks of digital reach to local and out‑of‑market buyers.
- All‑in premium campaign. Many upper‑tier listings justify 5,000 to 30,000 plus when you combine production, staging, and media.
