Andrew Duncan is one of the top 200 realtors in the nation and when he gave us a call to come to Tampa to shoot some real estate videos down there, needless to say, we jumped at the opportunity. He had seen the videos (here and here) we did for Dan Hamilton & Co. in Greenville, SC and wanted us to do something similar for him in the Tampa market since no other realtor has anything like this in that part of the country.
Andrew initially had 2 homes for us to do while we were down there, but just before we left for Tampa, one of the homes closed, so we had to replace it with another home a few days before we left for our trip. When we arrived in Tampa, we toured the replacement home with Andrew and loved it. We had already crafted a story line that would work with that house and casted the talent for the video. We finalized everything for the shoot later that day and headed out for some lunch. Then, at lunch, we got a call from Andrew and found out that the replacement house wasn’t available any more, but there was good news…. Turns out there was another house in the area that was very similar and it was available… the bad news was that the house was unfurnished. So, as we hung up the phone, my initial thought was that there was no way we could do a video of a house that was unfurnished and give it a storyline. But, Kent and I decided to turn our lunch at Moe’s into a brainstorming session. It was there that we developed the storyline for this video.
With talent scheduled to show up at the house in less than 4 hours, we went with Andrew to tour the house, make our final shooting arrangement and went on a prop buying shopping spree. We decided to focus the video on having a woman moving into her new home for the first time and basically just buying and bringing the essentials with her. We wanted to showcase the home’s elegant features and also show buyers the potential with the home. Our plan was to use the homeowner unpacking her few initial purchases to lead us through the home and show us some of the key rooms and features of this home, including the beautiful landscaping, the home’s close proximity to the lake, and the quiet surrounding neighborhood.
In the end, we could not have been happier with how everything turned out. Andrew gave us full reign over the storyline and in the end, he and his team were extremely pleased with the final outcome. We also want to give a very special thanks to Amy Woodring who did an amazing job as our homeowner.
