Listing Video in Kansas City

Light, weather and when to shoot

Hard summer sun and haze by late morning; spring storm season changes the sky by the hour. Fall is the clean exterior season; winter is often bright enough for an exterior on a still day.

What sells here, and what buyers want to see

Overland Park, Leawood, Olathe and Lenexa sell schools, newer construction, the basement and the community; the Northland sells newer construction and value; Brookside, Waldo and the Plaza sell older houses and the walk. Buyers ask about the roof, the shelter and the HVAC.

The clips to make

Slide down into the basement with the shelter shown; drone top-down of the roof.
A backyard reveal onto the covered patio and a truck past the three-car garage.
A community clip for the suburbs; a front-door approach for Brookside.

Rules worth checking

Kansas and Missouri both rely on disclosure forms by practice rather than a single statutory form; the video should be as plain. Roof and hail history are read first — never reuse a pre-hail roof photo. Airspace near MCI and the downtown airport restricts drones over parts of the metro.

Disclosure, drone and privacy rules change and differ by MLS and municipality; confirm the current version with your broker before you rely on anything here.

Questions

Buyers ask about the roof before the kitchen. How do I answer in video?

A top-down aerial of the roof with the age in the caption, and a caption line on the claim history from the disclosure.

Is the state line a factor in the video?

Only in the caption — say which state and which school district. The house does not care; the buyer does.
