BEFORE THE LISTING GOES LIVE
Tease the next listing before it reaches the market
A coming soon real estate video builds interest in a home before it reaches the market, so buyers are watching when it launches. You do not need a separate teaser to do it. Once the final listing photos are in, ListingVideosAI turns up to 20 of them into one finished property marketing video, delivered 24 to 72 hours after you send the listing. Post it during the coming soon window with a light touch, holding back price and details, then keep using the same video when the listing goes live.
One finished listing video. Posted early, it starts the conversation before the listing page exists.
Check your MLS and local rules on pre-marketing before you publish anything.
What makes a coming soon post a teaser
A teaser works by what it leaves out, and in practice most of that is in the words around the video rather than the video itself. A coming soon post shows the home and withholds the things buyers will want next: the price, the exact address, the showing schedule, sometimes the launch date. Viewers who like what they see have a reason to follow the listing, ask to be told first or watch for the open house. The same finished video then does a different job a few days later, when it sits beside a live listing that buyers can act on. The difference between the two moments is the message and the timing, not the footage.
Not an open house preview, which sells a visit on a set date, and not a just sold post, which looks back at a closed sale. A coming soon post runs first and promises a launch.
Running a coming soon window with one listing video
- 01
Check what you are allowed to market
Many MLS rules and brokerage policies restrict promoting a home before it is listed. Confirm what applies to this property, and agree the plan with the seller, before anything is published.
- 02
Wait for the final photo set
The listing video is made from the photos you send, so send the final, approved set rather than a first selection. Up to 20 photos covering the exterior, the main rooms and the details.
- 03
Send the listing for the video
Upload, check the photos and confirm the listing. The finished video arrives 24 to 72 hours after you send it, so allow for that before the coming soon window opens.
- 04
Post it as a teaser, then as the launch
During the coming soon window, share the video with a line that holds back price and details. On launch day, post it again beside the live listing with everything buyers need.
What ListingVideosAI brings to the coming soon window
One video that serves both moments
The same finished listing video works for the early post and for launch week, so the home is presented consistently from first look to live listing.
Made before the home is on the market
All it needs is finished photos. No filming day to arrange while the seller is still preparing the home.
A considered sequence that rewards a second look
The photos become one property story with restrained motion, which holds up when buyers see it again at launch.
Predictable lead time
24 to 72 hours after you send the listing, so the coming soon post can be scheduled against a launch date.
Nothing is made until you confirm
Uploads are saved and the listing is confirmed only when the photos are right, so a late change to the set does not cost you the video.
Where a coming soon post needs care
Pre-marketing rules are yours to follow
ListingVideosAI returns the video; whether and where you may publish it before listing depends on your MLS, brokerage and seller agreement.
The holding back happens in your post
The video shows the home from the photos you send. Keep price, address and dates out of your coming soon text if you want to save them for launch.
No on-screen launch date by default
Write the date in your post. For text on screen, a particular format or anything else specific, contact support@listingvideosai.com before ordering.
Stills only
Clips from a phone walk-through are not accepted. The video is made from photographs.
The same video in the coming soon window and at launch
| Question | Coming soon window | Launch week |
|---|---|---|
| When you post | Before the listing is public | The day the listing goes live |
| What the post says | The home is coming; watch for it | The home is available; here is the listing |
| What you hold back | Price, address, showing times | Nothing buyers need to act |
| What you ask viewers to do | Follow the listing or ask to be told first | Look at the listing and book a showing |
| The video | Your finished listing video | The same finished listing video |
| Rules to check | Pre-marketing rules for your MLS and brokerage | The usual listing marketing rules |
Getting the timing right
A coming soon post is only useful if the launch follows soon after it. Interest built three weeks before a listing goes live fades before buyers can act, and a long silence after the post can make people wonder whether the home is still coming. A few days to a week between the first post and the launch keeps the thread unbroken.
Work backwards from the launch date. The final listing photos need to be done first; if the photographer delivers on Monday and the launch is the following Monday, sending the listing on Monday afternoon puts the finished video in your hands by Thursday at the latest. That leaves the weekend for the coming soon post to circulate before the full listing appears.
Seeing the same video twice is not a weakness. Buyers who noticed the early post recognise the home at launch, and the second post lands with the details they were waiting for. Sellers often appreciate the early post too: it shows their home is being talked about before the sign goes up. Agree with them on what may be shown and said before publishing anything.
Questions about coming soon real estate videos
Can one video work for both coming soon and launch?
Yes. Post the finished listing video during the coming soon window with a message that holds back the details, then post it again at launch with the full listing. The teaser effect comes from the timing and the words, not from a different video.
Can I make a coming soon video before the home is listed?
Yes, as long as the final listing photos are done and your MLS and brokerage rules allow pre-marketing. The video arrives 24 to 72 hours after you send the listing.
What if the photos are not final yet?
Wait for the final set. You can upload early because uploads are saved, but confirm the listing only when the photos are the ones you want buyers to see. Nothing is made before you confirm.
What does a coming soon video cost?
It is one listing video: $15 one-time for one listing video, with no subscription needed. The same video keeps working at launch.
Can I get a separate cut for the teaser?
Contact support@listingvideosai.com.
Can the video say coming soon on screen?
Write it in your post text. If you need words or a date on screen, contact support@listingvideosai.com before ordering to check that it can be done.
Do I need the seller's approval for a coming soon post?
Agree on it with the seller before publishing, and only upload photos you have permission to use. Review the finished video before it goes out.
What if the launch date changes?
The video shows the home, not the date, so it stays usable. Update the date in your post text when you share it again.
