Video :: Virtual Tours & Real Estate

Virtual Tours for me have always been a bit cartoonish. They have always seemed kind of cool, but never seemed to have much viability as a marketing tool. They always made me dizzy.;-)

I will be making my real estate marketing predictions for 2005 in the next few days and one tool that I think finally has some possibility is audio and video.

(If you have an interest we will be launching this service very shortly. Unlike other service, ours will act as a marketing tool for you in the engines.---read on--call at 310-533-9145 or write Tim @ SpiderJuiceTechnoliges.com )

Google and Yahoo have recently launched a search tool for video. What if you could get these positioned indepently. Call or write now to reserve your spot.

I'm interested in your 2005 predictions referencing audio and video for online real esate marketing.

I currently produce real estate video tours with full narration and background music. I have seen plenty of video tours online, and most of them are amatuer, which kind of defeats the purpose.

I agree with your statements about the virtual tour market. In my opinion, virtual tours are a stepping stone to true video advertising.

Feel free to contact me directly. I am always interested in the experiences and business models of other real estate marketing companies.

The typical virtual real estate tour may not be the high resolution audio/video eye and ear candy you come to expect in today's digital media world, but I have had buyers for my listings tell me they have viewed my virtual tours over and over. They are key for 2 reasons:

1. Many on-line buyers will look at listings with virtual tours first - before looking at other listings.

2. The virtual tour reaffirms and reinforces their decision to buy a particular property. It helps eliminate some of the unknowns from the tour-less listings.

With that said, a nice, high bandwidth video tour that can be burned to a credit card sized CD is a great marketing tool that I use.

For broadband users only...
