Description
Summary:
Seeking a self-motivated, detail-oriented real estate videographer to film property listings and deliver polished videos.
Highlights:
1. Opportunity to focus on cinematic real estate videography
2. Independent work with flexible scheduling
3. Engage with creative storytelling and client relationships
We’re a fast-growing real estate media company based in Vancouver, WA. We serve realtors, builders, and property managers throughout the Greater Vancouver and Portland Metropolitan areas. As our business continues to expand, we’re looking for a dependable, detail-oriented videographer who can keep projects running smoothly and on time—allowing our creative team and leadership to focus on storytelling and client relationships.
As a contracted Real Estate Videographer, you’ll be responsible for filming a variety of property listings and delivering clean, polished videos for our clients. This role is ideal for someone who is self-motivated, comfortable working independently, and equipped with professional-grade gear. The role has the potential for some video editing as well, but will largely focus on filming.
You should already be comfortable shooting real estate or cinematic video independently — including smooth gimbal work, cinematic movement, and an eye for detail and lighting. Sunset/luxury shoot experience is a strong plus.
As the real estate industry is very seasonal, expect higher than average hours during the late spring months through the fall, while the winter months will be significantly lower hours. While we can work around other part time jobs or scheduling commitments, we do require your availability be up to date well in advance. Bookings are scheduled automatically based on your availability, unless they are last minute bookings within 48hours - in which case our team will confirm before committing you to the job.
What You’ll Do --
Capture interior and exterior property video, including walkthroughs, detail shots, and smooth gimbal movement
Film drone footage (drone + Part 107 certification preferred)
Review property notes before each shoot and follow creative direction
Communicate with the operations team to confirm shoot details, timing, and any on-site issues
Represent the company professionally with agents, homeowners, and teams on-site
Track drive time and working hours accurately for invoicing
Gear Requirements (Must-Have)
You must own and be comfortable operating the following gear:
4K 60fps-capable camera (Sony preferred)
Stabilizer gimbal (Ronin or equivalent)
1 Wide-angle lens (16–35mm, 14–24mm, 12mm prime, etc.)
1 Standard zoom lens (24–70mm, 24–105mm, etc.)
Drone (DJI preferred; Part 107 certification is a strong plus)
Tripod
Extra batteries, memory cards, and backup storage
Compensation & Workflow --
$25–$35/hr* for on-site videography (depending on experience) -- *after training
*Training wage = $15-20/hr (first few projects)
$20/hr for drive time
Individual projects typically take 1–4 hours to film, with some shoots requiring longer hours (summer will include some shoots lasting through sunset)
