As we step into a new year, there’s no better time to reflect, set goals, and plan for success. For real estate professionals and media creators alike, January marks the perfect moment to evaluate what worked last year and explore new ways to elevate your offerings. Whether you’re an agent looking to sell more properties or a media professional like myself aiming to deliver the highest quality visuals, the start of the year is an opportunity to refresh, innovate, and grow.
Reflecting on the Past Year
Looking back at 2024, the real estate market saw its share of challenges and triumphs. Properties in some areas moved quickly, while others lingered on the market longer than expected. For Urban Real Estate Media, it was a year of growth—working with incredible clients, experimenting with new techniques, and continuing to fine-tune the art of capturing properties in their best light. Reflecting on these experiences helps identify trends and areas for improvement as we move into 2025.
Why High-Quality Media Matters More Than Ever
In an era where buyers often begin their home search online, first impressions are everything. Stunning photography, compelling videos, and immersive experiences like 3D tours can make the difference between a quick sale and a listing that lingers. This year, we’re doubling down on these essentials, ensuring every property is presented with the quality and professionalism it deserves.
New for 2025, Urban Real Estate Media is proud to include Zillow 3D Home tours and floorplans in our service offerings. These tools provide potential buyers with a deeper understanding of a property’s layout and flow, enhancing their decision-making process. By integrating cutting-edge technologies like these, we aim to keep our clients ahead of the competition.
Trends to Watch in 2025
Real estate media is constantly evolving, and staying on top of trends is key to standing out. Here are a few we’re keeping an eye on:
Aerial Photography and Videography: Drone shots continue to grow in popularity, offering breathtaking perspectives of properties and their surroundings. As neighborhoods and communities play a significant role in buying decisions, showcasing proximity to amenities, parks, and schools can add tremendous value.
Lifestyle Marketing: Buyers want to envision not just a house, but a home. Capturing photos and videos that highlight cozy spaces, entertaining areas, and unique property features can create emotional connections with potential buyers.
Sustainability and Green Features: With more buyers prioritizing eco-friendly living, highlighting energy-efficient features and sustainable design elements will be crucial.
Setting Goals for Success
Whether you’re an agent or a media professional, goal-setting is vital. Here are a few resolutions we’re embracing at Urban Real Estate Media:
Enhancing Client Relationships: We aim to deepen partnerships with real estate agents, builders, and developers, providing tailored services that meet their unique needs.
Expanding Creativity: From experimenting with new editing techniques to finding innovative ways to tell a property’s story, creativity will remain at the heart of what we do.
Investing in Growth: Upgrading equipment, learning new skills, and exploring emerging technologies are all part of our commitment to delivering exceptional results.
How You Can Start the Year Strong
For real estate professionals, now is the time to refresh your listings with updated photos and videos, especially for properties that didn’t sell last year. If you’re gearing up for spring listings, consider scheduling your media appointments early to ensure everything is ready to hit the market.
For media professionals, January is an ideal time to network, market your services, and solidify your calendar for the year ahead. Consider offering special packages or promotions to attract new clients and re-engage existing ones.
