FOR THE BROKER OPEN
Broker opens: a property video for agents who cannot attend
A broker open, also called a broker caravan or agent preview, invites local agents to tour a new listing, usually on a weekday, so they can tell their buyers about it. Busy agents often miss them, and those who come may see several homes in one morning and blur them together. A finished video from the listing photos gives every invited agent a clear look at the home before or after the tour. ListingVideosAI makes it from the photos you already have, delivered 24 to 72 hours after you send the listing.
The video is a preview for agents; it does not replace the tour itself or the agent's own visit with a buyer.
One listing video uses up to 20 photos.

Getting a video ready for the broker open
- 01
Select frames agents care about
Agents previewing for buyers want the layout, condition and standout features. Choose the exterior, the main living area, kitchen, primary suite and anything unusual, such as a finished basement or a workshop.
- 02
Load the photos into a listing
Create a listing in ListingVideosAI and upload the selection, up to 20 photos. JPEG, PNG and WebP are accepted.
- 03
Confirm a few days before the event
Use a credit or buy a single video, then confirm the listing. Because the video arrives 24 to 72 hours after you send the listing, confirm early enough to include it in the invitation.
How agents use a video around a broker open
A broker open is about putting the home in other agents' memory. A video helps before, during and after the event.
Include it in the invitation
Agents decide which previews to attend from the invitation. A video of the home makes yours easier to choose.
Send it to agents who could not come
After the event, send the video to invited agents who missed it, with your notes on price, timing and showing instructions.
Help agents remember which home was which
On a caravan day agents see many properties. A video sent the same afternoon helps them match the home to their notes.
Collect feedback against it
Ask visiting agents what they thought about price and condition. The video gives everyone the same reference when you report back to the seller.
Keep the event separate from the public open house
A broker open is for agents. Public open house marketing is a separate effort with a different audience.
How broker opens work
They are for agents
Broker opens invite local agents and brokers, not the public, so they can preview the home for their buyers.
They are usually on weekdays
Many markets hold broker tours on a set weekday morning, and some offices organize caravans that visit several new listings in a row.
Food and incentives are common
Listing agents often provide lunch or refreshments to draw attendance, which shows how hard it can be to get agents to come.
Feedback matters to sellers
Agent feedback on price and condition after a broker open is useful information for the seller's next decisions.
Made from still photographs
The video comes from the photos you already have, so no visit beyond the photo shoot is needed.
A property story, not a stack of photos
The photos are brought together into a considered sequence with restrained motion that keeps the property in focus.

What is a broker open video?
A broker open video is a property video a listing agent shares with other agents around a broker open or caravan, so that invited agents can preview the home whether or not they attend. With ListingVideosAI it is made from the listing photos you choose and returned for your review.
It is not a public open house promotion. The audience is other agents previewing the home for their buyers.
Broker open questions
Is a broker open the same as an open house?
No. A broker open invites agents to preview the home; a public open house invites buyers. Their timing, audience and marketing differ.
Should the video go out before or after the broker open?
Both work. Before, it helps agents decide to attend; after, it reminds attendees and reaches those who missed the event.
Which rooms do agents most want to see?
Layout and condition first: the main living area, kitchen, bedrooms and anything unusual. Agents want to know quickly which of their buyers the home suits.
Can I use the video to gather feedback?
Yes. Send it with a few questions on price and condition, so agents who could not visit can still respond.
How early do I need to send the listing?
Allow for the delivery window: the video arrives 24 to 72 hours after you send the listing. Sending it a week before the event leaves time to review.
Does ListingVideosAI send the video to other agents?
No. You receive the finished video for review and share it with agents yourself.
