Listing Media — Santa Monica

Santa Monica Listings Deserve
Cinematic Video

Santa Monica sits at the intersection of coastal prestige and tech-industry wealth — a market where North of Montana homes regularly trade above $4M and Ocean Park compounds draw buyers from Silicon Valley, New York, and overseas. These buyers shop online with high expectations. A photo set does not communicate the light off the Pacific, the scale of a Sunset Park craftsman, or the indoor-outdoor flow of a modern Westside build. We produce cinematic listing videos, FAA-certified drone aerials, and full photography packages that match the market your listing is competing in.

  • Cinematic listing videos (highlight, full-tour, luxury)
  • FAA-certified drone aerials — ocean views & coastal footage
  • Professional listing photography
  • Matterport 3D virtual tours
  • 24–48hr delivery to your online gallery
  • Serving all Santa Monica neighborhoods and the Westside

Dylan Pham
"The final listing video was simply WOW. It was creative, engaging, and immediately captures viewers' attention. You can tell a lot of thought and effort went into making the video stand out and tell a story about the property. I highly recommend Rice Nation Media."

Santa Monica Real Estate
Video FAQ

For anything priced above $1.5M in Santa Monica — which covers most of the market — video meaningfully improves inquiry volume and listing presentation. North of Montana, Ocean Park, and Santa Monica Canyon properties regularly attract buyers relocating from out of state or overseas. These buyers are making shortlist decisions based on online media. A cinematic listing video gives them the full spatial and emotional experience that static photos cannot deliver at any price point.
Yes. Santa Monica is in controlled airspace that requires FAA authorization before every drone flight. All of our drone work is performed by FAA Part 107 certified pilots, and we obtain the required LAANC authorization for every shoot. Coastal flights over the beach and pier area require additional coordination, which we handle as part of the service. Your aerial footage is fully legal and compliant.
Our packages are flat-rate with no hidden fees. Photography, video, and drone can be bundled into a single transparent price. Visit our Listing Media Pricing page for full package details. In a market where commissions regularly exceed $50,000, the cost of professional listing media is a straightforward investment.
Standard delivery is 24–48 hours after the shoot. You'll receive edited photos and a final video link directly in your online gallery, ready to download and post immediately. Rush delivery is available upon request for time-sensitive listings.
Yes — we serve the full Westside including Venice, Pacific Palisades, Brentwood, Mar Vista, Culver City, and Santa Monica Canyon, as well as the South Bay markets of Manhattan Beach and Malibu, and all of Orange County. Book online for any location.
Santa Monica's buyer pool is one of the most media-sophisticated in Southern California. Tech executives, entertainment industry buyers, and international investors approach property searches the same way they approach any high-consideration purchase — with deep online research before making contact. Your listing media is often the first and most lasting impression you make. A cinematic video that captures the indoor-outdoor flow, the natural light, and the Westside lifestyle converts serious buyers faster than any amount of copy or photography alone.
