Real Estate Video Editor - Long Term Role (Premiere Pro**)

Hey, I'm Louie from Matrx Media, a real estate media company in Auckland, New Zealand.

We started a year and a half ago and have become very popular in our city. Right now I'm shooting and editing every video myself. I edit to a high standard, and value quality, so have been putting off hiring an editor until now.
Coming into spring/summer here, I am about to get very busy and need to take some video editing off my plate.

I'm looking for a world-class video editor who uses premiere pro/after effects and loves storytelling. Someone I can send raw clips to and get back edits so amazing that my agents don't even realise it's not me.

Check out our video editing style here: ----------

WHAT YOU'LL BE EDITING:

• Property listing videos (1-2 min, 4K a7siii footage plus drone)
• High-energy reels (1 min) with agents presentation, speed ramps, transitions, custom text, sound design, colour grade
• Sold reels + coming soon reels
• Personal branding videos for real estate agents

WHAT YOU'LL BE SET UP WITH:

• Premiere Pro template, LUTs, MOGRTs
• Music library, brand end cards, sound design library, Higgsfield access
• Agent preferences sheet + reference library of finished videos to match
• Clear edit framework and training in our style (MASCOT)

MUST-HAVES:

• Strong Premiere Pro skills. After Effects would be great too. If you are a Final Cut Pro editor, please do not apply.
• Portfolio showing your proudest work. It doesn't have to be strictly real estate.
• Strong computer. Must handle 4K footage, export quickly, and run Topaz Video AI for crispy export quality
• Experience with AI video or willingness to be trained (we use Higgsfield)
• Strong ear and passion for sound design
• Good English and grammar. Voice-note briefs will be part of the job, so will need to be understood clearly, and you will learn New Zealand buyer and agent culture over time. (It's a bit more humble tone than USA)
• Fast turnarounds, 24 to 48 hours

WHAT I REALLY CARE ABOUT:
I need to find an editor who loves studying American and Australian real estate reels and applies the techniques to your own work. Who obsesses over cuts, sound design, color, and awesome text effects, but can also do it at high speed. Who loves groundbreaking editing that makes the audience go WOW!

HOW IT WORKS:

• Trial: 1 paid test edit ($70 USD), full listing video, 48 hour deadline
• Rates (project-based): $70 USD listing video / $80 USD premium reel / $60 USD personal branding reel /

$40 USD ASCOT-only (only finishing up the project) / $30 USD sold and coming soon reels

• Payment: weekly via Wise for the first month, then monthly at end of month from month 2
• Volume: Starting slow then progressing to 5 to 10 videos per week as trust is built and skills are sharpened. You can stack clients.
• Long term: I want someone still with us next year

TO APPLY, SEND:
1. Your showreel or a few real estate video samples (or your wildest work)
2. A casual video introduction of yourself talking. Include your name, where you're from, why we should hire you as our editor, and what you like about our videos
3. Weekly availability + earliest start date
4. Computer specs (GPU and whether it runs Topaz video AI)

Excited to work with you!

Cheers,
Louie
