What a videographer does better
A videographer still does three things RocketReel cannot: fly a drone over the block, film people (the agent walking the home, a family in the garden) and shoot twilight or dusk exteriors with real light. RocketReel works only from the photographs you already have. If the campaign needs aerials of a large block, a lifestyle shoot or a dusk hero, hire the videographer for that listing and use RocketReel for the rest of your stock.

A real $49-class video
The narration you get at this price
The script is not a template. Every sentence is written from the photographs and the details the agent entered, then voiced and timed to the cuts. From the 246 Kent St, New Farm — 60s property listing film narration: “With an urban skyline view, weekdays feel wider. Near New Farm Park and the Brisbane Riverwalk, the hall leads to that arched timber front door.” Watch more property video examples →
Why the price is the same across Queensland
A Cairns, Toowoomba or Gold Coast listing costs exactly what a Brisbane one does, because nobody drives to the property. The region pages compare RocketReel with the published rates of local videographers in each market. Find your market on real estate videos across Queensland →
Affordable real estate video questions
- How much does a real estate video cost in Brisbane?
- Published Brisbane and Gold Coast videographer packages for a filmed listing video run $250–$1,550 as of 16 October 2026, plus travel outside the base area. RocketReel is $49 for a 30-second Property Reel and $89 for the 90-second Property Showcase (enabled by account), AUD, GST inclusive, anywhere in Queensland or Australia.
- What is the cheapest way to get a property video?
- Editing your own photos in a free app costs nothing but your time, and the result has no narration written from the listing, no agent card and no presenter. The cheapest finished, voiced, branded listing video on this site is the $49 30-second Property Reel. Standard ordering is paid; see Pricing for current options.
- Why is RocketReel cheaper than a videographer?
- Nobody travels to the property. A videographer prices a shoot, travel and an edit; RocketReel writes the script from your photographs, voices it, adds music and the agent card, and renders the edit automatically. You pay for the finished video, not for a day of someone’s time.
- Is a cheap property video worse than a filmed one?
- A videographer still does three things RocketReel cannot: fly a drone over the block, film people (the agent walking the home, a family in the garden) and shoot twilight or dusk exteriors with real light. RocketReel works only from the photographs you already have. For a standard listing with good photographs, the finished video is a narrated, branded film that buyers watch on the portal and on social; watch the Kent St example on this page and decide for your listing.
- Are there hidden costs?
- No. Prices are AUD, GST inclusive. Optional upgrades (Premium or Cinematic quality, photo declutter or restage) are shown on the order before you pay, and the 15-second social reel is an optional $15 add-on to an existing video.
