New Feature in Google Workspace: Google Vids
As a real estate professional—whether you’re a solo agent or leading a team—staying ahead of the curve means embracing tools that streamline your workflow, enhance communication, and keep you focused on what truly matters: serving your clients and growing your business. Google Workspace just rolled out an exciting new feature—Google Vids—that’s tailor-made for the fast-paced world of real estate.
In a video I recently shot (linked here: insert link or reference location), I shared a hands-on walkthrough of Google Vids and showed exactly how I’m using it to elevate my business and keep my team running smoothly. Spoiler: It’s a game-changer.
Let’s explore what Google Vids is and why it’s a must-have tool for both agents and team leaders.
What Is Google Vids?
Google Vids is the newest addition to Google Workspace, designed to make video creation, sharing, and collaboration seamless. It’s a one-stop shop for recording, editing, and hosting video content directly within the Google ecosystem. Best of all, it integrates effortlessly with your go-to tools like Google Drive, Gmail, Calendar, and Google Meet, ensuring your videos are always where you need them.
Benefits of Google Vids for Agents and Team Leaders
1. Effortless Property Tours
Agents can easily create high-quality property walkthroughs and share them directly with clients via Drive or Gmail. With built-in editing tools, you can trim, annotate, and add captions to make your videos look polished and professional. Team leaders, this is a great way to help agents on your team showcase listings more effectively while maintaining a consistent brand standard.
2. Simplified Client Collaboration
Google Vids allows you to share videos with private links and enables time-stamped comments for direct feedback. Whether you’re collaborating on a listing with your team or responding to a buyer’s questions, this feature keeps communication clear and organized—saving time and reducing the need for lengthy emails.
3. Seamless Team Training and Updates
For team leaders, Google Vids is an excellent tool for creating training videos, team updates, and onboarding content. Record quick tutorials, market updates, or role-specific guidance and share them instantly with your team. It’s also perfect for recording team meetings or brainstorming sessions so agents can revisit key points.
4. Enhanced Organization
Google Vids syncs all your videos to Google Drive, keeping them centralized and easily searchable. Agents can stay on top of their client-facing content, while team leaders can manage a library of training materials, market analyses, and team resources—all in one place.
5. Supercharged Personal and Team Branding
In today’s competitive market, video content is essential for standing out. Agents can use Google Vids to create neighborhood spotlights, market updates, or social media content, while team leaders can enhance their team’s branding efforts with consistent, high-quality videos that showcase your expertise and team culture.
How I’m Using Google Vids
In the video I just shot, I demonstrated how I use Google Vids for both client-facing and team-focused tasks. For example, I recently recorded a property walkthrough for a client who couldn’t attend a showing in person. Using Google Vids, I created a polished virtual tour complete with commentary and annotations, which the client loved.
As a team leader, I’ve also started using Google Vids to streamline my communication with agents. I recorded a quick market update video to share insights and strategies for the week ahead, which saved time and ensured everyone was aligned on our goals.
Why Every Agent and Team Leader Should Start Using Google Vids
If you’re already using Google Workspace, Google Vids is a natural and powerful extension of your toolkit. It simplifies client communication, enhances team collaboration, and positions you as a tech-savvy professional in today’s video-driven world.
For team leaders, it’s a great way to elevate your team’s training, communication, and branding, helping you build a cohesive, high-performing group. For agents, it’s a tool to streamline workflows, impress clients, and boost your personal brand.
