APPLICANTS WHO DON'T FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS JOB DESCRIPTION WON'T HEAR FROM US - PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ THE ENTIRE JOB DESCRIPTION

We are a U.S.-based real estate media company looking for a talented and reliable Video Editor to join our growing team. If you love telling stories through video and know how to make homes look stunning on screen, we’d love to work with you!

We aren’t just looking for someone to edit — we want a vibrant member of our team who will:
• Help us improve how we shoot footage so you can deliver the best possible edits
• Share fresh ideas and creative input that raise the quality of our videos
• Stay on top of the latest real estate video trends and advise us as those trends change so we remain ahead of the market

Responsibilities
• Edit residential real estate property videos (currently 20–30 per month, with more as we grow)
• Occasionally edit commercial real estate video projects (not as common as residential)
• Apply the latest real estate video trends, such as:
• Cinematic walkthroughs
• Reels and Instagram vertical cutdowns
• Aerial + ground footage integration
• Highlight reels of luxury features and amenities
• Lifestyle/storytelling edits
• Clean color correction (no advanced grading required)
• Text overlays and lower thirds
• Music syncing for impact
• Creative speed ramps
• Collaborate with us to guide how footage is captured for better edits
• Deliver edits on time
• Work closely with our photographers and leadership team

Pay Structure
• $10 per Walkthrough Video up to 90 seconds
• $20 per Standard Video up to 120 seconds
• $30 per Premium Video up to 120 seconds

We pay per completed project, with payouts made bi-weekly on Fridays. There is strong potential for more volume as our company expands.

Video Type Definitions
• Standard Video: A high-level scan of each room with cinematic push, pull, and pan movements.
• Premium Video: Designed for luxury homes, this includes all elements of a Standard Video plus additional close-up shots of key amenities (such as premium kitchen fixtures, double ovens, gas ranges, garden bathtubs, swimming pools, and other luxury features). Premium edits require more clips, advanced storytelling, and a stronger focus on highlighting features that help sell a high-end property.

Requirements
• Your own computer capable of handling large video files
• Your own video editing software (Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci, etc.)
• A strong portfolio showing real estate or similar video work
• References from past clients or employers
• Willingness to complete an unpaid test project with clips we provide
• Ability to work as needed, 7 days/week, with fast turnaround
• Reliable internet connection (must handle large file transfers)
• Attention to detail and ability to follow instructions
• A proactive, idea-driven mindset to help guide us and stay ahead of trends

What We Provide
• Access to a royalty-free music account
• Clear guidelines and consistent projects
• Long-term growth opportunity — as we gain more clients, your editing volume and income will grow too

How to Apply: Send all to ----------
1. Send your resume
2. Share links to your portfolio (real estate samples required)
3. Provide at least two references including name, email, and phone number
4. Confirm the software you use and your editing setup
5. Provide a screenshot of your Wi-Fi bandwidth test (download and upload speeds)
6. Include a short note explaining how you stay current with video editing trends and how you can help guide us in capturing better footage
7. Submit a short video introduction of yourself and why you think you'd be a good fit for our team (30 seconds to 3 minutes), so we can get to know you better.

Only applicants who follow the instructions above will be considered.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants consistent work, a reliable partnership, and the chance to grow with us as we expand. We’re looking for more than just an editor — we want a creative partner who can help us stay ahead of the curve.
