KEEPING SELLERS INFORMED
Seller updates: show the seller how their home is presented
Sellers who do not hear from their agent assume nothing is happening, and lack of communication is one of the most common complaints sellers have about agents. A regular update with showing activity, buyer feedback and marketing is the usual cure. A finished listing video made from the photos gives that update something the seller can see and share with family, and it shows the marketing is real work rather than a promise. ListingVideosAI makes it from the photos you already have, so including it in the update costs you no editing time.
The video shows the property. Showing numbers, feedback and next steps still come from you.
One listing video uses up to 20 photos.

Adding a video to your seller updates
- 01
Agree the photo selection with the seller
Sellers often have opinions about which photos show their home best. Ask which rooms they are proudest of, then pick the frames that also make sense to buyers.
- 02
Create the listing and upload
Start a listing in ListingVideosAI and add the agreed photos, up to 20, in JPEG, PNG or WebP. If the seller sends a late preference, saved uploads are still there when you come back.
- 03
Confirm and review before you share
Confirm the listing when the selection is settled. The finished video arrives 24 to 72 hours after you send the listing; watch it first, then include it in your next update.
What to put in a seller update with the video
An update works best when it is regular, honest and specific. The video is one item among several.
Activity numbers from the listing
Report showings, saved listings and inquiries from your own records. Real numbers, even small ones, are more reassuring than general reassurance.
Buyer feedback in the agents' words
Pass on what buyer agents said, including the uncomfortable parts. Sellers make better decisions with honest feedback.
The video and where you shared it
Tell the seller where the video went: your posts, your newsletter, messages to agents. That makes the marketing visible.
A note for the seller to share
Many sellers want to send the video to friends and family. Say that they are welcome to, which spreads the listing further.
Next steps
Close each update with what happens next: a price review date, a broker open, a new photo of the garden once it blooms.
Why seller communication matters
No news reads as no activity
Sellers commonly judge their agent by how often they hear from them, and poor communication is a leading complaint about agents.
Weekly is a common rhythm
Many agents send updates once a week while a listing is active, more often in the first days after launch.
Feedback guides price decisions
Consistent buyer comments about price or condition give the seller evidence for a change, which is easier to accept than an agent's opinion.
Sellers share with their circle
Sellers often forward listing marketing to friends and family, which can reach buyers the agent would not.
You review it first
The agent reviews the finished video, then uses it in their marketing, seller updates included.

What is a listing video for seller updates?
A listing video for seller updates is the property video an agent includes in regular reports to the seller, so the seller can see how the home is presented and share it. With ListingVideosAI it is made from the listing photos you choose, often with the seller's input, and returned as a finished video for your review.
It is not a personal video message from the agent. It presents the property; your update carries the news.
Seller update questions
How often should I update the seller?
Many agents send a written update weekly while the listing is active, and talk by phone when something important happens. Agree the rhythm at the listing appointment.
Should the seller choose the photos for the video?
Ask for their input, then make the final choice with buyers in mind. Sellers sometimes favor rooms with personal meaning that buyers notice less.
Can the seller share the video with family and friends?
Yes, and many like to. It is a simple way for the listing to reach people beyond your own audience.
What if feedback is negative?
Pass it on honestly with a suggested response. Sellers make better choices on price and preparation when they hear what buyers actually said.
When should the video appear in an update?
In the first update after it arrives. The video returns 24 to 72 hours after you send the listing, so it often fits the second weekly update.
What does one video for the seller's home cost?
A single video is $15 one-time for one listing video, with no subscription needed.
