Richmond & Hampton Roads – Casting call for video content creator – September 1st – Paid

I’m looking to hire a talented video content creator for a short commercial ad (under 1 minute) targeting homeowners in Central and Hampton Roads, Virginia who are looking to sell their houses quickly. I’m looking for the video to be filmed either in a car or a landmark like Belle Isle, Libby Hill, Browns Isle, VMFA, Forest Hill Park, etc(I’ll pay an extra $50). If you are open to recording in multiple locations, I can pay per location.

I’d love to work with a Black, Virginia native woman as the spokesperson to bring a genuine, Central VA or Hampton Roads, community-focused vibe that will really resonate with our local audience. The tone should feel real, relatable, and trustworthy — like a neighbor offering a helping hand.

This video will be used as part of a Google/YouTube ad campaign, not on my website, so it needs to be short, punchy, and direct. Here’s the ad copy:
“Own a home in Central or Hampton Roads, Virginia that you want to sell in the next 30 days? Then listen up, because listing your house on the market isn’t the only way to sell your house. Selling to us is much faster, easier, and way more convenient. Not only will we buy your house for cash, we will also cover your monthly rent, your mortgage, and any moving expenses during this whole process. So if you’re looking to sell your house quickly without the BS and any lowball offers, just click the button below, fill out the form, and we will make sure that you get a fair cash offer for a quick sale. After that, just pick a closing date that suits you and done! Your house is sold. Even if you’re in a tricky situation like facing foreclosure, debt, or dealing with problematic tenants, we can help. We understand that life is hectic and our mission is to make selling your home fast and fair. Forget about the stress. Let us handle it. Click the button below right now and answer a few questions to get started.”

And here’s an example of the kind of vibe I’m looking for (this was done by a friend who operates in NYC):

I’m looking for something similar in energy, but with a more Southern Black cultural feel that fits Central VA or Hampton Roads.
