Real Estate Marketing Made Easy: The Power of a One-Stop Studio

Chloé Maalouf

Launching a real estate project is no small feat. From pre-construction sales and branding to immersive customer experiences, today’s developments demand high-impact marketing across every touchpoint. But when builders and developers work with multiple vendors—each handling one piece of the puzzle—projects can slow down, costs add up, and brand consistency suffers.

At NEEZO Studios, we’ve spent the past 20 years perfecting a better way. As the only one-stop creative marketing studio of our kind, we deliver everything you need for a standout real estate launch—under one roof.

Here’s why that matters.

1. Total Brand Consistency From Start to Finish

When your 3D animation doesn’t match the renderings, or your scale model looks nothing like your virtual tour, your message gets muddled. At NEEZO Studios, our designers, animators, model makers, software developers, and project coordinators collaborate from day one to ensure every visual—digital or physical—tells the same story. That means a seamless customer experience, whether a buyer sees your project on a billboard, in a presentation center, or through a VR headset.

Project: Paradigm Stoney Creek – Molinaro Group

Services We Provided: LiveSite® Community, LiveSite® Tours, Scale Model, Renderings, Animations, Aerial Photography

2. Faster Turnarounds, Less Back-and-Forth

Coordinating multiple vendors can feel like project-managing a dozen mini-agencies. When your rendering firm waits on files from your model maker, or your touchscreen app vendor needs assets resized by your animator, timelines stall.

With NEEZO, our in-house teams work in sync. Animations, renderings, scale models, interactive configurators, and virtual tours are built in parallel—not in silos. That means faster delivery, tighter collaboration, and fewer headaches.

3. Everything Is Built to Work Together

You shouldn’t have to worry about whether your scale model will integrate with your touchscreen, or whether your 3D files are compatible across platforms. Because we build everything ourselves—from our 3D real estate sales software, LiveSite®, to the physical models that anchor your presentation center—we ensure your marketing tools not only look incredible, but actually function together as one ecosystem.

At NEEZO, we’re not just a scale model shop. We’re not just an animation studio. We’re not just software developers.

We’re all of those—and more. Here’s what we bring to every project:

🎞 Cinematic-quality renderings & animations

🏗 Architectural scale models that go viral

🖥 Real-time 3D real estate sales software (LiveSite®)

🕶 Virtual & augmented reality experiences

When you work with us, you’re not piecing together a marketing campaign—you’re building an immersive launch experience, from blueprint to sales center.

Project: Prudhomme’s Landing – Silvergate Homes

Services We Provided: Scale Model, LiveSite® Community, Renderings, Animation

5. A Proven Track Record—Across the Globe (and On Your Screen)

Our clients span the world, from North America to the Middle East. We’ve worked on tens of thousands of iconic developments—and even brought our creative storytelling to millions through hit TV shows like HGTV’s Property Brothers and Netflix’s Motel Makeover.

Our work doesn’t just sell real estate. It entertains, educates, and gets people talking—on social media, in the press, and in your presentation center.

Announcement: Our Animations Featured on A&E’s Beer Budget Reno

Chloé Maalouf

We’re proud to announce our latest television collaboration: animation work on the brand-new A&E series, Beer Budget Reno.

This fresh, fun renovation show focuses on transforming spaces with creativity, style — and tight budgets. Our role? Bringing each design vision to life with high-quality animations that help set the stage for the dramatic before-and-after moments.

From rough concepts to polished visualizations, our animations serve as a critical storytelling tool — helping audiences imagine the potential of each space long before construction begins.

🎥 Show Description:

Everyone dreams of a home makeover, but budgets often get in the way. Enter Kristen Coutts, who specializes in life-changing renovations for those told they can’t afford them. Armed with clever, cost-saving hacks, she transforms outdated spaces into fresh, functional homes—proving no budget is too small for a stunning upgrade.

Watch the reel of our animations from Beer Budget Reno below:

A Track Record of Television Animation Excellence

Beer Budget Reno is the latest in a long list of television projects we’ve been fortunate to contribute to. Over the years, our studio has provided 3D animation and visualization for major titles including:

  • Property Brothers
  • Brother Vs. Brother
  • Celebrity IOU
  • Forever Home
  • Selling Sunset
  • Motel Makeover
  • What We Do In The Shadows
  • Holmes Family Effect
  • Hack My Home
  • Where To I Do?
  • …and many more

These collaborations allow us to combine our architectural visualization expertise with dynamic, entertainment-driven storytelling — and we love every minute of it.

Check out our latest TV/Film reel below:

Visualizing Impact on Any Budget

One of the most rewarding aspects of working on Beer Budget Reno was helping tell the story of doing more with less. Our team was tasked with making modest budgets feel ambitious — and showcasing the transformational power of thoughtful design, no matter the price tag.

Catch It Now on A&E

We’re thrilled to see the show now live on A&E, and we’re honored to have played a part in bringing its vision to the screen. Whether you’re a longtime fan of home renovation shows or just curious about what’s possible on a “beer budget,” we highly recommend checking it out.

Looking to Bring Your Vision to Life?

From television and film to real estate and architecture, we help teams visualize big ideas through cinematic 3D animation and design storytelling.

How We Became North America's Leading Scale Model Maker

Architectural real estate scale model of luxury condo in Atlanta crafted by NEEZO Studios

From Craft to Culture: How We Became North America’s Leading Architectural Scale Model Maker

Chloé Maalouf

Chloé Maalouf

What started as a niche craft has now become a driving force in real estate storytelling, urban planning, and — unexpectedly — social media virality. Over the years, we’ve evolved from a passionate team of model makers into North America’s leading architectural scale model studio.

And recently? Our models haven’t just caught the eyes of architects and developers — they’ve blown up on TikTok, Instagram, and beyond.

Here’s a look at how we got here, why scale models still matter in a digital-first world, and what’s next for our studio.

 

Craftsmanship That Scales

Architectural scale models have always been about more than miniatures. They’re tangible stories — visual representations of vision, design, and community.

From master-planned communities to towering skyscrapers, our models help people see the future before a single brick is laid. Over the years, we’ve refined our process, combined traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge tools (laser cutting, 3D printing, digital lighting), and worked with some of the most visionary architects and developers across the continent.

Today, we’re proud to be trusted by top firms across North America — not just for the quality of our models, but for our ability to bring complex ideas to life.

Check out our latest scale model reel below:

From Our Model Shop To Millions Of Views

We never expected our TikTok account to be part of our growth story. But here we are.

Our behind-the-scenes videos — showcasing everything from tiny furniture and before vs. afters to the mesmerizing detail of full community models — have reached millions of viewers, sparked comments from aspiring architects and city lovers, and built a community that’s fascinated by the process of turning big ideas into miniature realities.

We’ve gone viral on Tik Tok and Instagram (multiple times). Why? Because people love seeing the magic come to life. The cutting, the gluing, the painting — there’s something undeniably satisfying about watching precision unfold.

And more importantly, it’s reminded us that while scale models are tools for professionals, they’re also objects of wonder for everyone else.

👀 Check out our Tik Tok account here.

Why Scale Models Still Matter

In an increasingly digital world, physical models still hold a powerful place in real estate, planning, and design.

For developers: They’re the centerpiece of a presentation, bringing emotion and realism to a project pitch or sales center.

For architects: They offer a way to test and visualize spatial relationships in a way no screen can replicate.

For the public: They build excitement and trust around new developments by making them feel real — and relatable.

We’ve seen our models used in public consultations, investment meetings, city exhibitions, and of course, presentation galleries — where a well-crafted model often becomes the star of the show.

Architectural Scale Models

The Road Ahead: Bigger Ideas, Smaller Scales

We’re excited for what’s next. From experimenting with interactive lighting, AR integrations, and modular builds to collaborating on some of the most ambitious developments in North America, we’re just getting started.

And yes — we’ll keep posting the behind-the-scenes magic that’s turned so many curious viewers into fans (and clients).

Hey, it's Chloé

Behind the Creativity: Blog 36

Happy New Year! What better way to start 2022 than with a brand new demo reel🤗 We are so excited to finally share it with you! Since our studio’s inception nearly two decades ago, NEEZO Studios has become internationally recognized as one of the top creative studios taking the PropTech and marketing industries by storm. As a true one stop creative studio, the possibilities of what we can create are endless. Our 2022 reel perfectly exemplifies our creativity, passion, and what makes NEEZO unique. So turn up the volume, grab some popcorn and take a journey with us to get a little glimpse into what we’ve been up to and what is yet to come.
Since our studio’s establishment in 2005, NEEZO has garnered a large clientele from all over the world who seek our creative services. With clients such as: D.R. Horton (America’s #1 Homebuilder), Tridel, Google, Netflix, Facebook, HGTV, Property Brothers, Microsoft, Brookfield Residential, Jaguar, DAMAC Properties, The Home Depot, Constellation HomeBuilder Systems, and Mizrahi Developments, NEEZO has been able to amass a huge portfolio of thousands of projects.

NEEZO’s Animations are on Netflix’s Motel Makeover!

By Blog
Hey, it's Chloé

Behind the Creativity: Blog 33

I am very excited to share that NEEZO Studios’ 3D animations are featured on Netflix’s newest original series, Motel Makeover
 
Motel Makeover is a 6 episode series that “centers on friends and business partners April Brown and Sarah Sklash as they reinvigorate a dated property in Sauble Beach, Ontario. It’s a second location for their brand of June Motels, which offer guests Instagram-worthy backdrops, rosé and plenty of millennial pink.” (Credit: USA Today, Mere home renovations aren’t enough: Motel makeovers are the latest in the supersized TV boom). Motel Makeover began streaming on Netflix on August 25, 2021 and can be watched in 190 countries.
 
Check out some of our animations from Motel Makeover below..yes, these are just screenshots, but you can check out the full animations by watching the episodes 🙂
Our animations on Motel Makeover are used to show viewers the before and after of the spaces. While Sarah and April discuss their plans and how they would like to renovate the Motel, our animations fly onto the screen and build up everything that the girls are saying word for word. This style of animation that we create for these TV shows is a process that takes a lot of in-studio designing and specific NEEZO techniques in order to reach that signature NEEZO look that everyone knows.
 
Although our work has been and continues to be featured on TV shows, it was a pretty cool feeling to see our work and our name in the credits on Netflix.
 
As some of you may know, NEEZO has been the home of the 3D animations on HGTV’s Property Brothers since its inception in 2011, but our history with creating animations for TV doesn’t just stop there. We’ve also created the animations on other shows that feature Drew and Jonathan Scott (a.k.a. The Property Brothers) such as: Brother Vs. Brother, Forever Home, Celebrity IOU, Property Brothers at Home, and more. You might’ve also noticed our animations on CTV’s Holmes Family Effect, on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Income Property, and on channels such as ABC, CBC, W Network, and The Food Network.
 
NEEZO Studios is the go-to studio for the film and television industry and we’re excited for what is to come. Check out Motel Makeover for yourself on Netflix and keep an eye out to spot our animations during each episode.

NEEZO Studios Conducts Canada-Wide Survey Revealing How Home Buyers Prefer To Research New Homes

By Blog
Hey, it's Chloé

Behind the Creativity: Blog 30

I am so proud to be part of a company that is at the forefront of technology and the architectural visualization industry, but above all, a company that cares so much about its clients and how our work and expertise can positively benefit the real estate industry. As a result, NEEZO Studios contracted Leger Research (the largest Canadian-owned market research and analytics company in Canada) to conduct a never done before in-depth 10 minute survey aimed at providing up-to-date research on homebuyer sentiment related to buying a pre-construction home. This survey gave homebuyers the opportunity to give their honest feedback regarding the digital tools available to them when it comes to envisioning and understanding how their new home will look before it is built.
 
As a leading architectural visualization studio that is always ahead of the game, NEEZO Studios understands how valuable digital marketing tools can be for home buyers, especially now that the Covid-19 pandemic has dramatically shifted the paradigm of the homebuying process.
 
When speaking to prospective new clients, Marvin Maalouf, founder of NEEZO Studios, sometimes encounters those who say: “That’s a cool piece of technology, but…” or “Neat sales software, but…” or “You produce extremely photorealistic 3D renderings and animations, but…my homebuyers don’t care about all this digital/virtual stuff.”
 
Regarding the results of this survey, Marvin stated, “Turns out home buyers do care. Homebuyers today are time-starved, very tech-savvy, and before they even visit a pre-construction sales center, they’ve already done their homework – digitally and virtually.
NEEZO Studios decided to be the very first in the architectural visualization industry to initiate a survey to dispel myths that homebuyers don’t care about digital and virtual selling tools. This survey will be of value to demonstrate to builders and developers what their buyers want and need in today’s pandemic times, and I strongly believe these sentiments will continue, even post-pandemic.”
 
Now at this point, you’re probably eager to find out some of those statistics…thanks for sticking around 🙂
Check out some of our findings from this survey below.
 
A majority say they would appreciate the option to visit new home and condo sales centers virtually (74%)
The most important digital elements when visiting a sales centre are: floor plans in 2D (85%), being able to digitally view home on lot (78%), and seeing the distance to amenities (75%)
The most important features that homebuyers care about are: Viewing floor plans in 2D (85%), Being able to digitally view the home on the lot (78%), Being able to see how many minutes away amenities are (75%), Photo galleries (73%), 3D renderings of the home or condo (73%), Floor Plans in 3D (72%). 
 
Seeing that NEEZO is always at the forefront of the archviz industry, did you know that our real time real estate sales software, LiveSite™, consists of all of these super important features and more? Check out our demo here to learn more about how LiveSite is the perfect tool to sell your upcoming development in the sales center and/or at home via the web.
The most appealing features of a virtual visit would be viewing the kitchen options with the click of a button (73%)
NEEZO has created a very useful kitchen configurator that allows you to view the kitchen options with the click of a button. Check out our demo of the kitchen configurator that we created for Sears USA.
Over half would enjoy looking for a new home virtually (52%)
Ever wondered what the top websites and publications are that homebuyers tend to use? How about their home buying status? What about the time of day that these homebuyers are spending researching your website? Our survey has all of these statistics and much more. To get your hands on the report, please visit this link:
https://marketing.neezostudios.com/home-buying-survey-2020-2021
 
Methodology
The survey questions were created by NEEZO Studios. If you’d like to see additional questions added to future surveys, please feel free to reach out and let us know.
 
The online survey was executed by Leger and conducted among a database of magazine subscribers whose readers are homeowners and homebuyers in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. It was carried out and the data was collected between Nov. 12 and 23, 2020. The analysis of the survey was independently provided by Leger.
 
Future Research Studies
NEEZO Studios’ research division is committed to conducting this survey on a regular basis. If you’d like to be added to the mailing list to receive this, future research findings or other newsletters, you can reach out via info@neezostudios.com.

NEEZO Studios Wins 1 Gold and 2 Silver Awards at The Nationals 2021!

By Blog
Hey it's Chloé

Behind the Creativity: Blog 28

I am very proud and happy to announce that NEEZO Studios won 1 Gold and 2 Silver awards at this year’s The Nationals, The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) annual awards ceremony…a.k.a. The Oscars of the real estate industry. Winning an award, nevermind 3, especially knowing that 12% of the entries were chosen as Silver Honorees and only 4% earned the gold, is an honor and we are all proud that our innovative work continues to make such a positive impact on the proptech industry.
Red Carpet VIP-VR – Gold Award Winner
NEEZO’s latest 3D breakthrough product, Red Carpet VIP-VR, won the Gold Award for Best Virtual Sales Process/Experience. Red Carpet VIP-VR was invented out of necessity during the COVID-19 pandemic. After noticing that many of our builder clients were not able to continue with their launches due to the pandemic, NEEZO Studios’ founder, Marvin Maalouf, came up with this innovative virtual reality sales center as a safe and effective alternative that allows builders to invite their homebuyers to the front of the line, wherever they are!
Essentially, Red Carpet VIP-VR serves as a prelude to NEEZO’s real time real estate sales software, LiveSite™.  For those unable to visit the sales centre in person, we made sure to implement a series of interactive touchpoints that enabled users to download, listen to or view 3D elements of the entire sales centre (custom-rendered in photorealistic 3D, based on the builder’s actual sales centre). Beyond a mere 3D tour, NEEZO enhanced conventional (walk through) VR with a myriad of interactive components:
  • A video-hostess who points out what you can see/do at every interactive touchpoint of the sales centre
  • Virtual guests can peruse the standard and upgrade packages
  • Buyers are one click away from photo-realistic, 3D renderings of the various kitchen combinations
  • Virtual visitors can orbit around the scale model in 360 degrees, to observe every angle of the building.
  • Schedule an appointment on the spot, virtually or in-person
  • View interactive brochures, floorplans, features and finishes and a gallery of images (and download the marketing materials if they wish)
  • Check out the builder’s story

HGTV’s Brother Vs. Brother – Silver Award Winner
NEEZO Studios won a Silver Award for Best Video – Long Format – Over 1 Minute for our 3D animations and renderings on HGTV’s Brother Vs. Brother! NEEZO Studios has had the honor and privilege to create all of the 3D flythrough animated scenes featured in Property Brothers, Brother Vs. Brother, Forever Home, and a few more Property Brothers shows. The interior and exterior flythrough scenes that NEEZO creates for every Property Brothers show is a really cool process that takes a lot of in-studio designing and special NEEZO Studios techniques in order to be able to complete that signature NEEZO look.
Check out this upbeat video that NEEZO Studios put together to see some of our awesome work from Brother VS. Brother season 7:
The Stanley District – Silver Award Winner
NEEZO Studios won another Silver Award for the LiveSite™ application that we created for The Stanley District, La Pue International’s upcoming development in the Niagara Falls area. The category that we won this award in was Best Use of Technology. 
LiveSite’s award-winning feature set offers an engaging user experience that enables homebuyers to orbit around the community, browse live product inventory, view and compare 2D/3D floor plans, take a building tour, discover local area amenities and transit routes situated around the development, view a media gallery with extra information about the development, watch a cinematic animation of the development, check out the development during different seasons and at different times of the day with a geographically accurate day & night cycle. On top of all that, every LiveSite™ project is custom-tailored to match your project’s branding. Driven by a powerful, web-based CMS, LiveSite™ empowers your sales team to: manage unit and lot availability (ex. hiding/revealing floors or units as you wish), adjust pricing, provide sales reports and more. The most unique element about LiveSite™ is that it’s compatible on every platform–desktop, laptop, tablet, Android, iOS mobile devices; making your sales centre virtually unforgettable!

On behalf of everyone here at NEEZO, thank you to The Nationals for these awards! 

NEEZO Studios’ Animations Featured on CTV’s Holmes Family Effect

By Blog
Hey it's Chloé

Behind the Creativity: Blog 27

On behalf of NEEZO Studios, I am very pleased to announce that we had the amazing opportunity to create the 3D renderings and animations for CTV’s new show, Holmes Family Effect
Each episode follows the Holmes family (Mike Holmes, Sherry Holmes, and Michael Holmes) as they surprise deserving people who make differences in their communities with amazing renovations. 
What To Expect In This Show…
Check out the show’s trailer here:
How Our Animations Are Used Throughout The Show
This show has a unique approach. When the Holmes family regroups at the beginning of the episode to discuss the changes that they would like to make to each of the spaces, Mike Holmes opens up a floorplan on the table and voila…our animation appears as a 3D levitating version of the 2D floor plan that they were looking at.  The camera then zooms in to showcase the transformation of each space.  So instead of starting the animation showing the distressed state of a space to what it can potentially transform to, we created the entire area that needed to be renovated as a floating object.
Adding these 3D animated elements to every show we work on, including Holmes Family Effect, allows the audience to engage and understand the renovations that are to be made as well as the potential of what the space could be transformed to.
Some call it magic, we call it the NEEZO touch! Here are a few shots from the debut episode of Holmes Family Effect where you can see how our renderings and animations are used in each episode:
Be sure to tune in to CTV every Sunday at 8:00pm EST to catch an all new episode of Holmes Family Effect…and don’t forget to keep an eye out to spot our renderings and animations throughout!

A Year In Review: 2020

Hey it's Chloé

Behind the Creativity: Blog 26

Happy New Year!! What a year 2020 has been for all of us. Of course a lot of events occurred last year, but as we all know, the biggest situation that was presented to us and that we are still facing is the global pandemic, Covid-19. Before we dive into this blog and speak about some memorable moments that NEEZO experienced in 2020, I want to take the time to say that I hope you had a great holiday break and are doing well considering these challenging times. Covid-19 was definitely a big shock to us all, but we’ve been getting through it and will get to a point where things can slowly start going back to normal.
RELEASING RED-CARPET VIP-VR™
Now that the way we live our lives has changed because of Covid-19 and forced us to try our best to stay home and not go out unless necessary, it undoubtedly changed the way real estate developers are able to sell their upcoming developments in the sales center, since not many people are able to be in there all at once or feel comfortable doing so due to social distancing rules.
So naturally, NEEZO saw this as an opportunity to push the limits in our creative architectural visualization abilities. As a result of this unanticipated new way to live, NEEZO Studios created RED-CARPET VIP-VR™, a Virtual Reality walkthrough unlike any other. RED-CARPET VIP-VR™ gives potential buyers the opportunity to tour the sales center virtually from the comfort of their home. With the ability to view brochures, floorplans, animations, a scale model, the builder’s story, schedule in-person/virtual appointments, and so much more, all while being directed by a video-hostess, RED-CARPET VIP-VR™ is the safest alternative to having buyers visit the sales center.

TV SHOWS
Celebrity IOU Season 1 & 2

 

NEEZO Studios had the great opportunity to create the 3D animations and renderings on both seasons of HGTV’s Celebrity IOU. What makes Celebrity IOU so different from the other Property Brothers shows is that it gives celebrities the opportunity to express their gratitude towards someone who has had a significant impact on their lives.
The celebrities in season 1 were: Brad Pitt, Rebel Wilson, Viola Davis, Jeremy Renner, Michael Bublé, and Melissa McCarthy. The celebrities in season 2 were: Zooey Deschanel, Allison Janney, Rainn Wilson, and Justin Hartley. 

 

Brother Vs. Brother Season 7
In 2020, NEEZO Studios also had the pleasure of creating the 3D animations and renderings for season 7 of HGTV’s Brother Vs. Brother. Following Drew and Jonathan Scott, a.k.a. The Property Brothers, Brother Vs. Brother makes the brothers go head to head to revamp the properties they choose and see who can make the most profit from each sale.
Check out some of our animations from Brother Vs. Brother season 7 here:
More than one year of Property Brothers Forever Home

FEATURED IN ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST
Back in February 2020, NEEZO Studios’ stunning birds eye view rendering of Mizrahi Developments’ The One was featured in a special edition of AD magazine, the 100th Anniversary of AD–a Collector’s Issue.
Every year, Architectural Digest reveals the highly anticipated “AD100 list”– an annual survey of the top names in interior design/decor/architecture.
This particular “AD100” issue earns extra special “collector’s edition status” since 2020 marks AD’s 100th anniversary (in addition to the issue showcasing their top 100 interior designers list)!
No matter how strange life might’ve been for the majority of 2020, it’s definitely a blessing to still be here, healthy and safe. We had some very exciting moments here at NEEZO Studios last year and we’re excited for what’s to come in 2021. On behalf of NEEZO Studios, a special thank you goes out to all of our clients. Happy New Year again and here’s to 2021!
