YouTube Video Editor Wanted: Real Estate Relocation Channel (1-2 Videos/Week)
Worldwide
Hello! I am a real estate professional running the YouTube channel @therealestatedoc_ (focused on the North Houston/Conroe, Texas market). I am seeking a skilled, long-term YouTube video editor to help take my content to the next level. Right now, editing takes up too much of my time, and I want to hand this off to a professional so I can scale from 1 video per week to 2. Our Channel Style & Direction: Our content is focused on neighborhood guides, relocation advice, and home tours for families moving to our area. Historically, my videos have been simple: a quick intro, home walkthrough footage, a voiceover, and background music with minimal transitions. We are actively upgrading our production value. My recent videos incorporate drone footage and high-quality B-roll. Moving forward, we are adopting a hybrid style: anchoring the video with "talking head" footage shot at my desk, heavily layered with local B-roll, home walkthroughs, and map animations to illustrate what I am talking about. Channels we look to for inspiration include: @themanginteam, @everydayorlando, @livingorlando, @northdallastxliving, @thebillolson, @kenpozek (older content), and @jaxwithjoshrogers. What We Need From You: • Audio & Flow: Edit raw talking-head and voiceover tracks to remove dead air/filler words while keeping a natural, conversational cadence. • Visual Layering: Creatively overlay drone shots, property walkthroughs, and community B-roll exactly matching the vocal narrative. • Engagement Hooks: Help craft the first 30–45 seconds of the video by mixing my filmed intro with compelling "teaser" B-roll to maximize viewer retention. • On-Screen Graphics: Integrate clean, modern, minimalist text pop-ups for critical data points (prices, tax rates, neighborhood names), basic map animations, and CTAs throughout. • Audio Design: Clean audio leveling paired with tasteful, non-distracting background music tracks. • Color Grading: Outdoor tours, drone footage, and neighborhood B-roll should be bright, vibrant, and warm to showcase the community in its best light. For indoor talking-head footage, please ensure colors look realistic and my natural skin tone is preserved, keeping contrast standard. Job Requirements (Non-Negotiable): 1. Timeliness: You must be highly reliable and consistently hit deadlines. 2. Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication is a must. We will collaborate on video flow and feedback, so responsiveness is key. Project Scope: • Current Volume: 1 video per week, scaling up to 2 videos per week. • Video Length: Ranges anywhere from 3 to 20 minutes depending on the complexity of the topic (average is around 8-12 minutes). • Workflow: We will provide raw files and a basic outline/script via cloud storage (Google Drive). Paid Trial & Future Growth: We are looking for a long-term partner. To find the right fit, we will be hiring 2–3 editors for a single, paid trial video at a fixed rate of $50. If we work well together, hit our deadlines, and communicate smoothly, this will transition into a permanent role (1-2 videos per week) with an established path to increased pay as the channel and production value grow. To Apply: Please provide a brief cover letter and links to 2 or 3 long-form YouTube videos you have edited that demonstrate a similar style. To ensure you have read this entire description, please begin your proposal with the phrase, "Hey Team!" Look forward to working together!
