Custom residence in the Beaches

A realtor speaks straight to the viewer from the kitchen of a brand-new custom home in the Beaches, in a playful scripted monologue that lands on the line every listing is really selling: it could be yours. The edit cuts to the modern exterior, the driveway and the bedrooms between lines.

The first frame

A realtor in a kitchen, talking straight into the lens: "You must be..."

Why it worked

Three things,
none of them luck.

01

Eye contact in the first frame.

Direct address reads as a conversation, not an ad, and a conversation is harder to scroll away from.

02

The script turns the listing into a line.

The viewer finishes the sentence in their head, which is the moment they picture themselves in the house.

03

Cutaways are timed to the words.

The house illustrates the monologue rather than interrupting it.

Talk to one buyer, not to the market.
