How to Create a Hyperrealistic AI Avatar for Real Estate Videos Using HeyGen

How to Use HeyGen to Create a Hyperrealistic AI Avatar for Your Real Estate Videos

What if you could create professional real estate videos without ever stepping in front of a camera?

It might sound futuristic, but tools like HeyGen, AI Avatars are making it possible and real estate agents are using them right now to stand out, attract leads, and stay consistent on social media.

Here’s a complete, step-by-step guide to creating your own AI avatar and using it to build high-quality video content without the stress of filming yourself.

✅ Step 1: Get Started With HeyGen for Real Estate

First, go to HeyGen and sign up.

While there’s a free version, the Creator Plan ($29/month) is highly recommended. It gives you:

  • Unlimited video creation
  • Higher quality export options
  • Full background removal

If you're planning to post regularly on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or even Facebook, this is the best value for consistent content creation.

This is ideal for busy real estate professionals who want to show up online without spending hours filming or editing themselves on camera.

🎭 Step 2: Create Your AI Avatar (Yes, It’s Still You)

HeyGen gives you two ways to create your avatar:

  • Upload several photos (quick, but not as realistic)
  • Upload a 2–3 minute video (recommended)

Pro Tip: Use a well-lit, horizontal video that’s at least 2 minutes and 15 seconds long. Look directly into the camera, pause briefly after each sentence, and keep your gestures minimal.

Best Practices for Recording:

  • Use your phone’s camera if it’s higher quality than your laptop.
  • Record in front of a plain white wall (or a green screen with great lighting).
  • Keep your hands still and your mouth closed between sentences.
  • Check the box for background removal during setup. This improves how your avatar appears on screen.

Once submitted, your avatar will be ready in about 10 minutes.

🎬 Step 3: Use Your Avatar to Make Real Estate Video Content

Once your avatar is ready, you can start producing high-quality content fast.

Here’s how:

  1. Write a script using ChatGPT or your own expertise. Example: “Top 10 Things To Do Before Selling Your Home.”
  2. Upload the script into HeyGen.
  3. Add visuals, background images, or stock footage.
  4. Use voice options:
    • Type text and use the avatar’s AI voice (with tone adjustments like excited, calm, or professional)
    • Upload your own recorded voiceover for more authenticity

You can also:

  • Include captions for mobile viewers
  • Add brand colors, logos, and music
  • Format for portrait (Reels, TikTok) or landscape (YouTube, listing videos)

This gives you total control over your real estate video marketing without being tied to a camera or editing software.

🚀 Step 4: Make Your Real Estate Videos Pop on Social Media

HeyGen is designed for modern content creation.

You can enhance your videos with:

  • Text overlays (great for hooks and calls to action)
  • Dynamic transitions between scenes
  • Branded visuals and stock images
  • Engaging music and subtitles

This helps you stand out on platforms like:

  • Instagram Reels
  • TikTok
  • YouTube Shorts
  • Facebook

Remember: Most viewers scroll with the sound off captions and clean visuals keep your content engaging and effective.
