What are the responsibilities and job description for the Videographer position at Handsome Homebuyer?
Handsome Homebuyer is a Melville, NY–based real estate investment and brokerage company focused on buying, selling, and transforming homes across Long Island. We combine data-driven real estate strategies with modern marketing to help homeowners sell quickly and to position our agents as trusted local experts. As we continue to grow, we’re investing heavily in high-quality, high-volume video content to elevate our brand and listings.
The Videographer role will go beyond simply filming properties. You will work closely with our agents and Social Media Manager to create engaging, high-performing video content that showcases listings, builds personal brands, and drives audience growth. You’ll be responsible for bringing both our homes and our agents to life on camera—delivering content that is fast, creative, and consistent across platforms.
What You’ll Do
- Film real estate listings, agent features, and on-location shoots
- Capture short-form, high-performing content for platforms like Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts
- Collaborate with editors and the Social Media Manager to execute a clear creative vision focused on engagement and storytelling
- Partner directly with agents to plan, shoot, and produce content ideas
- Take full ownership of shoots, including lighting, framing, audio, and pacing
- Ensure fast turnaround times (often same-day or next-day delivery)
- Organize and transfer raw footage efficiently to maintain speed and alignment in post-production
- Adapt quickly to different properties, personalities, and filming environments
- Continuously refine content based on performance metrics and feedback
What We’re Looking For
- A fast executor who can move quickly without sacrificing quality
- A creative thinker who contributes ideas, not just execution
- A proactive problem solver who can think on their feet
- A self-starter who operates well without constant direction
- Adaptable and comfortable in dynamic, ever-changing environments
Experience & Skills
- Proven experience shooting video, with a strong understanding of editing workflows
- Deep familiarity with short-form content and social media platforms
- Proficiency in editing tools (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, CapCut)
- Strong eye for composition, lighting, and visual storytelling
- Ability to shoot effectively in real-world, fast-paced settings
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple shoots and deadlines
- Clear communication skills to collaborate with editors and ensure alignment on creative vision
What Success Looks Like
- Consistent production of high-quality, high-volume content
- Fast and reliable turnaround times
- Strong collaboration with the Social Media Manager to bring ideas to life
- Agents actively leveraging and benefiting from your content
- Videos that generate engagement, leads, and brand growth
- Confidence in guiding agents and clients on camera
This Role May Not Be the Right Fit If You…
- Prefer highly structured environments or require constant direction
