How Much Does Commercial Real Estate Video Cost?

Ask three videographers how much commercial real estate video costs and you'll get three very different answers — because "commercial property video" covers everything from a quick photo-based edit to a multi-day production with aerials, interviews, and motion graphics. Rather than quote numbers that won't match your market, this guide explains what drives the price, how the options compare, and when a lighter-weight approach is all a listing needs.

What drives the cost of commercial video

• Shoot time and crew size. One shooter for two hours costs far less than a crew for a full day.
• Aerials. Drone footage usually adds cost, and needs a licensed operator and airspace clearance.
• Property size and number of spaces. A single retail suite is quicker than a multi-building campus.
• Narration, interviews, and on-camera talent. Scripting and filming people adds time on both ends.
• Editing, graphics, and music licensing. Maps, callouts, and custom animation take hours to build.
• Deliverables. A single landscape video is one job; vertical cuts, social sizes, and a teaser are more.
• Revisions and updates. Changing the price or availability later usually means a new edit.

Quotes commonly range from several hundred dollars for a simple edit to several thousand for a produced film. The only reliable number is a local quote for your specific property — ask what's included, how many revisions, and what an update costs later.

The three options, compared

When a full production is worth it

Hire the crew when the property justifies it: a large or high-value asset, a multi-tenant campus where aerial context sells the location, an investment offering where a narrated walkthrough helps, or a developer client who wants a brand film. In those cases the video is part of a bigger marketing investment.

When photos are enough

For the majority of listings — a retail suite, a small office, a flex unit, a single-tenant building — you likely already paid for professional photos. A listing-video tool turns those into a branded landscape and vertical video, plus the social posts and flyer, without a shoot. TourKit's commercial kit does this in about two minutes, with For Sale or For Lease campaigns and a Lease Rate label built in. Plans start at $29/month billed annually for 10 listings a month, and your first listing is free.

Hidden costs to ask about

• Updates: what does it cost to change the price, rate, or available square footage?
• Social cuts: are vertical and square versions included, or extra?
• Music rights: is the track licensed for commercial use on every platform you'll post to?
• Ownership: can you reuse the footage for future listings of the same building?

The bottom line: pay for production when the property earns it, and use your photos for everything else. See pricing or see the commercial kit.
