Short-Form Video Editor for Real Estate Personal Brand (Ongoing Weekly Work)

Short-Form Video Editor for Real Estate Personal Brand (Paid Test Project with Ongoing Weekly Work) I'm a REALTOR® and content creator building a strong personal brand across TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn. I'm looking for a talented video editor who can turn long-form educational content into engaging short-form videos. This is a paid test project. If we're a great fit, I'm looking for someone to become my long-term editing partner with consistent weekly work. About My Brand My content is educational, authentic, and relationship-driven. I don't create flashy videos just to chase views. My goal is to become the most trusted real estate resource in my market. My brand philosophy is simple: Relationships are the Business. Every video should educate, build trust, and make viewers feel more confident. Test Project I'll provide a recording of one of my live educational real estate broadcasts. Your assignment is to: Watch the recording. Identify what YOU believe are the 3-5 strongest moments for short-form social media. Edit those moments into polished vertical videos. I'm evaluating your editorial judgment just as much as your editing skills. There are no predetermined "correct" clips. Each finished video should include: Vertical 9:16 format (1080x1920) Burned-in captions Strong hook within the first 3 seconds Clean, modern editing Professional pacing Royalty-free music only if it enhances the video A suggested title A suggested caption The source video is a Zoom-style interview.
