The Real Estate Video Confidence Kit

Your checklist to show up like a pro even if you’re not ready to be on camera.

Most agents feel awkward, uncertain, or overwhelmed by video. That's normal. But the truth? You don't need to go viral. You need to be seen, trusted, and remembered.

This guide gives you the fastest way to start showing up without second-guessing. Whether you're camera-ready or not, there's a path to becoming the most recognized name in your market.

3 Ways to Show Up on Video

You don't have to be a full-blown influencer to build authority through video. Here are your no-fluff options:

  • On-Camera Video. Be the face of your brand. Speak to your audience directly, whether it’s a 60-second reel or a full listing tour.

  • Slideshow / Voiceover Videos. Use images, short clips, and a voiceover to tell the story. Great for listings, just listed/sold, and community highlights.

  • Screen Recordings. Perfect for explaining market reports, website tours, or doing "how-to" videos for buyers and sellers.

Rhythm & Mindset Reset

  • Post regularly. Even if you don’t feel ready. Consistency is visibility.

  • Try to go live weekly. It builds confidence, trust, and reach.

  • Don’t overanalyze your videos. Wait at least 30 days before judging performance. Let them work.

  • Design a strong thumbnail. First impressions matter. Use bold text and clear visuals.

  • ALWAYS include a CTA (Call to Action). Examples:

    • "DM me for a showing"

    • "Comment 'Guide' for your free checklist"

    • "Save this for later"

If you’ve been wondering who's behind all the precision-driven, results-obsessed content you’re seeing around here, let me pull back the curtain: It’s me, Annett T. Block.

Born in East Germany, raised on resilience and strategy, I don’t just believe in freedom - I engineer it. Today, I channel that into helping real estate professionals like you to being the most recognized agent in your market with video, ads, and a system that runs smoother than a Porsche on the Autobahn.

And here’s the truth: while what you see might look effortless, it’s built on serious structure and a little help from some of the smartest mentors and tech tools out there. I leverage a blend of powerhouse platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Google Keyword Planner, and AI tools including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Grammarly.

Think of them as my pit crew, helping me stay ten steps ahead so the content you get isn’t just trendy fluff. It’s engineered for performance. Every word you read, every strategy I teach, every system I build, it’s all backed by the exact same level of precision and power I deliver to my private clients.

Because when I tell you visibility is built, not wished for? I’m not guessing. I’m proving it every single day. Bottom line: I don’t just talk about leadership, trust, and domination. I build it. And you’re seeing the proof right now.
