CRE videos: what they are, what they cost, and how to get one in 72 hours.

A CRE video is a marketing video for a commercial real estate listing. Ten years ago that meant hiring a videographer with a drone; today it spans everything from a 15-second LinkedIn teaser to a full video offering memorandum that walks buyers through the financials. This guide covers the types of commercial real estate video, what each costs in 2026, and how brokers are getting them made without ever scheduling a shoot.

1. The listing teaser.Ten to twenty seconds, built for LinkedIn, email blasts, and buyer lists. Hero shots, the location story, the hook — no financials, so it’s safe to circulate before a confidentiality agreement. This is the highest-leverage video in CRE marketing: it’s what makes a deal stop the scroll.

2. The video offering memorandum (video OM). The moving-picture version of the OM: financial highlights, rent roll story, value-add plan, flythroughs, narration. It lives behind the CA gate, where the PDF OM lives today, and keeps qualified buyers inside the story of the deal.

3. Aerial and drone-style footage. Traditionally the reason you hired a crew. Modern pipelines can generate flyover-style motion, map fly-ins, and photo cinematics from existing collateral — and cut in real drone footage or Matterport tours when a broker already owns them.

Traditional commercial real estate video production is studio work: a scheduled shoot, an editor, and a two-to-three-week turnaround. Established CRE video studios charge roughly $1,500 to $3,000 per video, and content-retainer agencies run $1,000 to $5,000 per month. For a broker with several active listings, that math gets heavy fast — which is why most listings still go to market with a static flyer.

Slungshots prices CRE video like software instead: from $299 per month for one to twenty live videos at a time, swap videos as listings close, cancel anytime. The first teaser is free with no credit card, and every video is delivered within 72 hours, guaranteed — late means free.

Upload. The flyer, the OM, photos, drone footage, a Matterport link, your logo — whatever the listing already has. A flyer and photos are enough to start.

Direct.A sentence of plain English: “moody and cinematic,” “lead with the rooftop deck.” Or say nothing and let the first cut surprise you.

Post. Within 72 hours you get a broadcast-quality video — portrait and widescreen, captions on, licensed music — plus a trackable share page that tells you who watched, from where, and how much. Every video is reviewed by a human before it ships, and we never generate fake footage of your actual property.
