Join us for “Lights, Camera, Closings: How to Create Viral Property Tours That Sell Homes & Build Your Brand” — a can’t-miss masterclass with Blake Roublos, founder of Blank Creative (formerly Drone Hub Media) and the creative mind behind 45+ million views on real estate video content.

Blake has worked with industry icons like Ryan Serhant and Fredrik Eklund—and now he’s revealing the same video playbook that built their visibility and impact.

• How to shoot a scroll-stopping property tour that sells the home and promotes you
• The exact structure and storytelling behind viral real estate videos
• Tips for showing up confidently on camera (even if you’re camera shy)
• How to turn property videos into leads, listings, and referrals
• What most agents get wrong—and how to stand out without a big budget
• The gear you actually need and what you can skip

Whether you're new to video or looking to elevate your current strategy, this is your video marketing breakthrough.

Demystifying Your Mortgage Payment & Closing Costs

For new homebuyers, understanding your costs is key. Let’s break it down:

What’s in Your Monthly Mortgage Payment?
*Principal: Pays down the loan balance.
*Interest: What you pay the lender for borrowing money.
*Escrow Account: Handles property taxes and homeowner’s insurance.

What Are Closing Costs?
Closing costs are essential to finalize your home purchase and include:
*Loan origination fees
*Title company & insurance fees
*Escrow account funding
*Appraisal and credit report fees
*Prepaid interest and recording fees

On average, closing costs range from 2%-5% of the home’s purchase price. Knowing what to expect can save you from surprises at the closing table.
