You are very welcome!!

[@michaelosorio6600]

Nice video appreciate the helpful tips. Is there a special program you use for editing? Thanks again

[@moonlightingvideos996]

Great video and thanks for sharing your tips. I went to your website and watched several of your real estate videos. They are fantastic - seriously. I’m curious, for the inside shots, did you use a drone for some of these? Seems like you must have, but I can’t tell for sure. I would guess that you used a camera on a gimbal for those with the agent giving the guided tour, given the noise of the drone in flight. I wish you continued success!

[@kyleconner38]

Great video, Christopher!! I'm just starting to do RE photography and this was super helpful! Thanks for sharing!

Glad it was helpful! Good luck on your RE Photography business Kyle!

[@ShailyHakimian]

Was this video inspired by They Ask You Answer? I love it! I made one too!! AMAZING!

[@realestatevideos7343]

Thank you for posting this video. I have learned so much form you. Thank you...thank you...and ....thank you....... for creating this video. . I am hoping that someday I can come up with stuff that is almost as good as yours. Anyways, thank you for posting. Daniel

[@ChristopherHelkey]

Daniel, you are so very welcome!! So glad I could help you :) keep me updated on your real estate video journey

[@SkyStepDrones68]

Great video Christopher, do you have any suggestions on a ground camera I could purchase?

[@roddnelson1519]

Great pricing structure! I was thinking of just having a 3 or 4 package price point however I think yours would work much better. Thank you.

[@ChristopherHelkey]

So glad you found this helpful Rodd! I would love to see what pricing package you create. Shoot me a DM if you want when you have it! instagram.com/christopherhelkey/

[@rubenc4465]

Thanks for sharing the inso

[@ChristopherHelkey]

You are very welcome Ruben!

[@Jnashbeats_]

Hey man, great video. Do these packages include photography as well? Thinking about implementing simple packages like this and wondering if I should include photography into the package or if it should just be an additional add on. Thanks for the help

[@ChristopherHelkey]

Hey J! No I just do video. I know a lot of people do both though. Good luck! Let me know what you end up doing.

[@PapapandaFilms]

Great video !! I do have a question though. When you filming the agent, do you use the drone as well or a camera with a gimbal?

[@ChristopherHelkey]

Thanks so much! I normally only use the gimbal when they are talking. Sometimes I might get a b-roll shots like I did in this video instagram.com/p/CN9QU6OF_PY/

[@vondumbrigue2274]

i've been following all of your pricing details and it really helped me a lot! thank you so much! but just a quick question, did you ever get a request on a time lapse for sunset/sunrise? if yes, how much did you charge for it?

[@ChristopherHelkey]

Thank you Von! Glad you are finding the videos helpful :) I normally don't do time lapse because they are so time consuming for real estate videos. I recommend we stick with the normal sunrise or sunset shots! If you offer them to your clients I think $200 could be a far price as an add on depending on how long you shoot for.

[@oneworldvideo]

Amazing info and presentation skills! Instant subscribe! :) Note: you wrote 8,00 instead of 8,000 SF on your site (mistake is also in your video ;)

[@ChristopherHelkey]

Hi! Thank you for letting me know about the typo :) About to fix it. You rock! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@oneworldvideo]

@@ChristopherHelkey My pleasure! I have a question: on your site you wrote "Three versions of the listing video for website, instagram, and mls." What's the difference between the version for the client's website (FullHD 16x9 I presume) and MLS? And I noticed something else on your site: at the bottom of the page you have 3 of these "+ Question or Title Goes Here The answer you want to hide until a click goes here!" BTW, I love the ultra-wide video at the top of your site. I think I'll add something similar to my site :)

[@gittphuckt8779]

I find myself wanting to offer you a Ventolin through my laptop screen

[@shawndfilms6439]

Do you charge the same for Million + dollar homes even though it less that 4,000 SQFT?

[@thomaswatts9881]

I do photos and videos for homes. Knock it all out in one day. They love it

[@LateNightUnboxing]

Nice but the question is how to get that first client where you find it? Ive sent offers through real estate web pages and they say: we already have people doing videos for us.

[@ChristopherHelkey]

I will be working on a new video all about that. Stay tuned :)

[@JoseLopez-tp4lr]

When are you releasing the guide pdf?

[@ChristopherHelkey]

Finishing up the last few chapters, shooting for late May! I want to make sure it's perfect as there's so much I'm including. If you have any questions in the meantime feel free to shoot me a message on Instagram

[@lifeon2wheels1990]

Hi, for 2022 do you still stick to these price points or you have raised your prices

[@ChristopherHelkey]

They are still the same in 2023 but I might need to increase because of inflation.

[@jaleesachinn2014]

Do you write the script for the real estate agents?

[@ChristopherHelkey]

Hi Jaleesa, I ask the agents to write a script and then I will help them adjust so it works for the video. Let me know if you have any more questions.

[@zyxwvutsrqponmlkh]

Hey know I know why you got recommended, I do watch a decent amount of drone videos. Also you emote with your hands like a burn victim, and the pov makes them seem comically large. Just some deconstructive criticism, you seem to take it well.

[@ChristopherHelkey]

Haha I got a good laugh out of its comment. Yes I do use my hands a lot in videos. Still figuring out how to talk on camera lol . Glad you enjoyed doing videos! Cheers
