Real Estate Videographer in Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale sells water. A home on the Intracoastal in Rio Vista or a condo on Fort Lauderdale Beach is not competing on square footage alone. It competes on light, on the view from the dock, and on how the property feels at golden hour. Photos can show the rooms. Video has to show the life that comes with them.

At Live Global Studios, we produce real estate video for agents, brokerages, developers, and owners across Broward County. We are based on Miami Beach with a four-set studio, The Chat Room, and we travel to Fort Lauderdale for listing shoots. This guide explains what great property video includes in this market, what it costs, and how we deliver it.

Why Fort Lauderdale real estate video is its own craft

The city is a grid of waterways. Properties sit on canals, the New River, the Intracoastal, and the Atlantic, and every one of them has a different relationship with the water. A Victoria Park bungalow, a Las Olas Isles estate, a Harbor Beach condo, and a Coral Ridge townhome each need a different visual approach.

Buyers in this market are often relocating, buying a second home, or looking from another state. They watch video to decide whether a trip is worth taking. That means the film has to answer practical questions fast: how the house sits on the lot, how long the dock is, how far the beach is, what the commute from the kitchen to the water feels like. A clean, well-paced walkthrough beats a flashy montage.

Waterfront homes and the Intracoastal

Water properties are the hardest to shoot well. Glare, boat traffic, tide levels, and strong sun can ruin a shot in minutes. We plan every waterfront shoot around the light and the tide. For west-facing docks we schedule sunset, and for east-facing homes we shoot early morning when the water is calm and the colors are soft.

We shoot interiors with controlled lighting so windows are not blown out against a bright view. Our director of photography balances interior and exterior exposure on location, which is why the water stays visible through the glass instead of turning into a white rectangle. A flat, evenly exposed look is the standard for luxury listings, and it is what buyers expect.

Aerial and drone coverage

Drone footage tells buyers what the street cannot. It shows lot depth, canal width, proximity to the beach, and the relationship to neighboring properties. Fort Lauderdale has controlled airspace near Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and the Executive Airport, so we plan flights with the required FAA authorizations and check conditions before we arrive.

We use aerial shots with purpose. A single slow pull-back that reveals the dock and the Intracoastal can sell the property better than five minutes of random flyovers. We also coordinate with condo associations and building managers when a shoot touches shared areas.

What we shoot and deliver

A typical listing package includes a cinematic property film of 60 to 120 seconds, a vertical cut for Instagram Reels and TikTok, a short set of teaser clips for social ads, and photography stills pulled from the footage. For high-end listings, we add a neighborhood sequence that shows the restaurants on Las Olas, the beach, and the marina so the home sits inside a lifestyle.

Every booking includes a director, a director of photography, an audio engineer, and a producer, so even a listing shoot runs like a production. For agents who want to build a personal brand alongside their listings, we can record market update videos and client-story interviews at The Chat Room, then use the same crew to shoot listings in Fort Lauderdale on a second day.

Delivery is typically five to seven business days after the shoot, with rush options available. We provide clean files for the MLS and captioned social versions in each aspect ratio.

What real estate video costs in Fort Lauderdale

Prices vary with property size, complexity, and the number of deliverables. As honest ranges, a standard residential listing film with drone coverage usually falls between $1,800 and $4,500. Luxury waterfront properties and larger estates with full cinematic treatment typically run from $4,500 to $12,000. New development and condo marketing campaigns, which involve multiple units, amenities, and lifestyle footage, generally start around $8,000 and can exceed $25,000.

Monthly retainers for agents and brokerages who list regularly are available, and they reduce the per-listing cost while keeping the visual style consistent across your portfolio. Travel from Miami Beach is built into our quotes, so there are no surprise fees for coming north.
