Real Estate Video Production Cost in Seattle: A 2026 Guide

May 20, 2026 · 13 min read · Joseph Fedorov · Last updated: July 21, 2026

Quick answer: A professional real estate video in Seattle costs about $499 to $999 from Vourly: $499 for a highlight video, $650 for a full listing tour, and $999 for luxury cinematic. Photo, video, and Matterport bundles run $500 to $3,600 by home size. Drone starts at $100 per hour. Photos arrive by 10am next day. Prices for listing media vary widely nationally, and many studios will not put a number on their website at all, so the most useful price is the one a videographer gives you up front. You can build an exact quote on the real estate listing media page.

"How much does a real estate video cost?" is a harder question to answer than it should be. Nationally, a basic listing clip can run anywhere from a couple hundred dollars to several thousand, and most studios will not put a number on their website at all. Most agents who ask have just been handed a vague "let's talk" reply from a vendor that wanted a call first. This guide does the opposite. It lays out exactly what Vourly charges to produce real estate video, photos, and a Matterport tour in the Greater Seattle area, how fast each deliverable lands, and what changes the total. Every figure below is Vourly's own published rate, and the same numbers drive the quote builder on our real estate page. If you are weighing photos against video specifically, our photography versus video comparison goes deeper on that decision, and our Seattle real estate videographer page covers how Vourly works with agents day to day.

How much does real estate video production cost in Seattle?

In Seattle, a professional real estate video from Vourly costs about $499 to $999, and the exact figure depends on the video type. A short highlight video runs $499, a full listing tour is $650, and a luxury cinematic edit with drone and twilight is $999. When you bundle photos, video, and a 3D Matterport tour into one visit, the package runs $500 to $3,600 by home size. Standalone add-ons let you tune the total: drone aerials start at $100 per hour with an FAA Part 107 pilot, and a-la-carte 4K filming runs $100 to $200 per hour. Every booking includes editing, all raw footage, and one free revision round. Unlike studios that hide pricing behind a sales call, Vourly publishes these tiers so an agent can size any Seattle listing before booking. Photos are delivered by 10am the next day and the Matterport tour goes live within 12 hours.

Video type Seattle price Best for
Highlight video $499 Fast MLS and social listing
Full listing tour $650 Standard walkthrough
Luxury cinematic $999 High-end listing with drone and twilight
Agent profile video $775 Agent brand and intro
Photo + video + Matterport bundle $500 to $3,600 Full listing package
Drone / aerial coverage From $100/hr Add-on

Vourly prices listing media in tiers so the cost matches the listing instead of forcing a one-size number. Here is the shape of it:

  • Listing video: $499 to $999. A highlight video is $499, a full listing tour is $650, and luxury cinematic with drone and twilight is $999. Video can be booked on its own or bundled with photos below.
  • Listing photos: starting from $275. Vourly's photo tiers scale with home square footage; see the real estate photography cost breakdown for the full tier table.
  • Photo, video, and Matterport bundles: $500 to $3,600. These combine HDR photos, a cinematic listing video, and a 3D Matterport tour in one visit. The exact price depends on the home's square footage and how much coverage you add, like twilight shots or an agent on-camera intro.
  • Drone coverage is optional and billed hourly, from $100 per hour. See the drone videography page for the current rate, or review Vourly's videographer hourly rates for the full a-la-carte rate card; every Vourly drone pilot is FAA Part 107 certified.

Prices for real estate video vary widely across the country, and plenty of studios will not share a number until after a sales call. Vourly publishes the tiers, so you can size a listing before you ever book. For a wider look at hourly and project rates across all of Vourly's services, see the Seattle videographer cost hub. To see the exact figure for a specific square footage and coverage mix, build a quote on the real estate page in a couple of minutes.

What does a full listing media bundle include?

The bundles are built for one appointment to cover everything a listing needs across the major platforms. A typical full bundle includes:

  • HDR listing photos of the interior and exterior, color-corrected and ready for the MLS.
  • A cinematic video tour that moves through the home the way a buyer would, sized for the listing and social.
  • A 3D Matterport tour with an MLS link, so remote and relocating buyers can walk the home themselves.
  • Optional extras like a 2D floor plan, virtual or real twilight, an agent on-camera intro, and drone, each priced as an add-on so you only pay for what the listing needs.

Because it is one shoot, you book a single appointment instead of coordinating a separate photographer, a video crew, and a Matterport tech. For agents who want the photo side broken out on its own, the real estate photography service page covers the standalone photo tiers in detail.

How fast are real estate photos and the Matterport tour delivered?

Speed is the whole point of listing media, and Vourly's delivery is built around list dates rather than a generic queue. The standard turnaround:

  • Listing photos by 10am the next day. Shoot the home one afternoon, and the edited HDR set is in your hands the next morning, in time to load the listing.
  • Matterport tour live within 12 hours. The 3D walkthrough goes live within 12 hours of the shoot, so the immersive piece is ready alongside the photos rather than days later.

The schedule is built for Thursday list dates, the moment most weekend buyers start browsing. A studio that takes a week to deliver photos forces you to choose between a fast list and good media. Vourly's turnaround removes that tradeoff.

Where does cinematic listing video fit, and is it worth it?

Photos sell the rooms, but a video sells the flow: how the kitchen opens to the living space, where the light lands in the afternoon, what the lot actually feels like. Vourly builds the cinematic listing video into the higher bundles rather than charging for it as a separate production, so once a listing justifies video, you are not paying agency rates on top of the photo bill. For higher-end listings, the bundle can layer in drone aerials, twilight footage, and an on-camera agent intro so the property gets the full treatment in one pass. If you are still deciding whether video earns its place on a given listing, our photography versus video guide walks through which listings benefit most. If the question is whether video pays off financially, the real estate video marketing ROI post covers how listing video and 3D tours factor into buyer behavior.

What changes the price of a listing shoot?

The tier ranges cover most listings, but a few choices move the number within them:

  • Home size. Larger homes take more time to shoot and more frames to cover, so the bundle scales with square footage.
  • Photo-only versus a full bundle. A clean condo might need only a photo tier (see the real estate photography cost breakdown for how each tier is structured), while a $1.5M listing wants the full photo, video, and Matterport bundle.
  • Add-ons. Twilight shots, a 2D floor plan, an agent intro, virtual staging, and drone are each priced separately, so you tune the package to the listing.
  • Drone. Aerials are optional and billed hourly rather than baked into every tier, which keeps the base price honest for listings that do not need them.

Here is what the a-la-carte add-ons run if you want to price a shoot piece by piece:

  • Drone / aerial coverage: from $100 per hour, FAA Part 107 certified.
  • A-la-carte 4K filming: $100 to $200 per hour if you want to direct the shoot yourself rather than book a fixed tier.
  • Editing: $75 per hour for any editing work billed outside a fixed package.
  • Agent profile video: $775 for a standalone on-camera agent profile and branding video, or add a shorter on-camera intro to a listing video for less.
  • Twilight, 2D floor plan, and virtual staging are priced on the real estate listing media page, since the exact add-on price depends on the package and photo tier you start from.

The point of publishing the tiers and the add-on menu is that you can estimate any listing yourself before talking to anyone. No gatekeeping, no custom-proposal runaround. When you want the exact figure, the quote builder does the math from the home's square footage.

Who shoots the listing, and what areas does Vourly cover?

Vourly is a real estate and construction media specialist, not a wedding crew taking listing work on the side. Founder Joseph Fedorov has over nine years of cinematography experience, holds FAA Part 107 drone certification, and has shot hundreds of homes across the Greater Seattle area. Coverage centers on the Eastside, including Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, and Issaquah, and extends across more than 20 cities in the Greater Seattle area, spanning King, Snohomish, and Pierce counties. If your listing sits near the edge of the usual radius, ask and we will confirm before booking. Browse sample Seattle listing videos to see the work before you book, or see how Vourly works with agents on the Seattle real estate videographer page.

How Vourly prices Seattle listing videos

Vourly prices real estate video the way a Seattle agent actually buys it: by the listing, not by a vague hourly quote. That same nine-plus years of experience and Part 107 certification described above are what make a fixed rate card possible instead of a per-project bid. Every tier traces to one published rate card. A highlight video is $499, a full listing tour is $650, and a luxury cinematic package is $999, with photos priced separately starting from $275. What moves the price within a tier is concrete: home square footage, whether you add drone, twilight, or an on-camera agent intro, and how many edited deliverables the listing needs. Because the rates are public, an agent can estimate a $400,000 condo and a $2 million waterfront listing from the same page. Coverage centers on the Eastside and spans more than 20 Greater Seattle cities across King, Snohomish, and Pierce counties.

What if a delivered shot misses?

Vourly runs a limited reshoot offer on real estate listing packages: if a delivered shot misses because of something on our end, we reschedule one reshoot at no charge, typically within 24 to 48 hours. This is a real estate only offer, not a site-wide promise, and it exists because a listing cannot wait around for a fix. Every booking, real estate or not, also includes all raw footage and one free revision round. The combination means a missed list date is not the outcome of a small error on our side.

The short version: A real estate video from Vourly costs $499 to $999 by tier: $499 highlight, $650 full listing tour, $999 luxury cinematic. Listing photos start from $275, and full photo, video, and Matterport bundles run $500 to $3,600 by home size. Drone is an hourly add-on from $100, and prices elsewhere vary widely, so compare on transparency and delivery speed, not just the headline number. Photos land by 10am next day, the Matterport tour goes live within 12 hours, and a limited real estate reshoot covers a miss on our end. Build the exact quote on the real estate page.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a real estate video cost in Seattle?
A professional real estate video from Vourly costs $499 for a highlight video, $650 for a full listing tour, or $999 for luxury cinematic. Listing photos start from $275, and full photo, video, and Matterport bundles run $500 to $3,600 depending on home size. Build an exact quote at vourly.co/real-estate.

How much does a basic real estate video cost?
A basic highlight video from Vourly starts at $499. It is a short, edited walkthrough sized for the MLS and social. Step up to $650 for a full listing tour or $999 for luxury cinematic with drone, twilight, and an on-camera agent intro. Editing, all raw footage, and one free revision round are included in every tier; drone is billed separately from $100 per hour.

How long does it take to film a real estate video?
Most Seattle listing shoots run one to three hours on-site depending on square footage. Fixed-price listing tiers ($499 to $999) include the shoot and edit; if you book hourly instead ($100 to $200 per hour for custom filming), a 1-hour minimum applies on social ($100/hr) and a 2-hour minimum on 4K ($200/hr). Vourly captures photos, cinematic video, and the Matterport tour in a single visit, so you book one appointment instead of three vendors. Edited photos land by 10am the next day and the Matterport 3D tour goes live within 12 hours of the shoot.

Do longer videos or larger homes cost more?
Yes. Vourly prices listing media in tiers, so larger homes and longer edits scale the total. A compact condo may only need the $499 highlight, while a large luxury listing runs toward the $999 cinematic tier or a full $500 to $3,600 bundle. Add-ons like drone aerials, twilight, and an agent intro move the price within the tier, so you only pay for the coverage the listing needs.

What is the difference between a walkthrough and a cinematic video?
A walkthrough (Vourly's $499 to $650 tiers) moves steadily through the home the way a buyer would, prioritizing clarity, flow, and fast turnaround. A cinematic video ($999) layers in motion, drone aerials, twilight footage, and pacing that sells the lifestyle, not just the rooms. Cinematic suits higher-end or competitive listings; a standard walkthrough covers most listings well.

Can I make a real estate video myself?
You can, but a phone walkthrough rarely matches a professional listing video on stabilization, lighting, and pacing. If you want to direct the shoot, Vourly's a-la-carte 4K filming runs $100 to $200 per hour. If you want it handled end to end, a done-for-you highlight video starts at $499 with editing, all raw footage, and one free revision round included.

How fast are photos and the Matterport tour delivered?
Vourly delivers listing photos by 10am the next day, and the Matterport 3D tour goes live within 12 hours of the shoot. The schedule is built around Thursday list dates so the listing is ready before the weekend.

Can you shoot video and photos in one visit?
Yes. Vourly's listing media bundles capture photos, cinematic video, and a Matterport tour in a single visit, so you book one appointment instead of scheduling separate vendors. Drone coverage can be added and is billed hourly.

What areas do you cover?
Vourly provides Eastside coverage for real estate listing media and films across more than 20 cities in the Greater Seattle area, spanning King, Snohomish, and Pierce counties.

Do you offer a reshoot if something is off?
For real estate listing packages, Vourly runs a limited offer: if a delivered shot misses because of an error on our end, we reschedule one reshoot at no charge, typically within 24 to 48 hours. This is a real estate only offer, not a general promise. Every booking also includes all raw footage and one free revision round.
