For part 1, check out 1-on-1 with Mark Saunders: The importance of video in Real Estate.

As someone who describes themselves as thrifty , you can only imagine how much Saunders tries not to use high-end, professional equipment that usually costs an arm and a leg.

I still do a lot of videos directly from my cell phone, a fan of making do with what you have, Saunders believes in using what you have. No one needs to go out and spend a lot of money on a bunch of equipment. Use good lighting, your cell phone, a selfie stick that's sort of stable and you can grow from that.

Even when you can buy more equipment, Saunders believes you really do not need to spend a lot of money to start making videos.

Whether it's a selfie stick or DSLR, getting started and making content will set you apart.

Saunders also believes in using the tools provided to make videos that stand-out and are memorable. He's a fan of WeVideo's green screen feature and his use of it is what initially caught our eye. He created his own how-to that you can watch below.

I used to use Final Cut and it was really hard, WeVideo's ease of use was important to Mark. I'm not a video person, I'm a realtor. When I came across the green screen feature and it worked really well in your software. That was the point for me and I wanted to switch.

When talking about other features, templates were a favorite of Saunders.

You can create a Just Listed video but save that as a template and now 80% of the video is done. You just have to drop in your video file and run with it.

How to update and create templates
