Listing Solutions Goes Back to Basics - 10/18/10 07:08 PM
After attending the Realtourvision® webinar tonight, I was amazed at how much I have learned in the past three years from RTV … and how much I have not learned. Blogging is essential to any successful online marketing campaign and I stopped about 6 months ago when we started to get busy. No excuse, I know better! As easy as blogging is, I can’t believe that I ignored the least expensive and most effective form of marketing available. Blogging is what put Listing Solutions on the map and when properly done, generates awesome “Google Juice.” Listing Solutions (I just pulled rank … (0 comments)

The Four Pillars of Social Networking - 10/18/10 07:06 PM
Last week your Nova Scotia virtual tours & property marketing expert was asked to speak by the Chamber of Commerce on Social Networking for Home Based Business. The following blog is a result of that speech. We've always had the desire to connect, even in the days of cavemen we were forming tribes. Back then the tribes were limited by geography. Today human civilization has evolved to where we are now because we have mastered the art of continually grouping together into teams, tribes, cities, and nations. We have catapulted past the barriers of time and space into a whole new … (0 comments)

The FORMULA 37 - A Secret Weapon - 10/18/10 07:00 PM
Relying 100% on virtual tours as a source of income for your property marketing business is downright silly. We all learned on the last episode of The FORMULA that your business can bring in three to ten thousand dollars of additional income every year just by teaching classes at your local associations. You should always be on the lookout for powerful property marketing tools that you can offer your existing customer base. While some customers just love getting ten to thirty listing CD’s others will rely on the power of your single property websites to measure … (0 comments)

Rocking out my first shoot - 10/18/10 06:58 PM
Dear RTV. Thank you so much for the virtual tour lead. The virtual tour and entire shoot turned out very well yesterday. Weather was perfect! The house was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!! It could not have been more perfect. Immaculate and well-decorated! I really had fun doing this and it was surprisingly easy. It was a pretty large house and I was there almost 4 hours. Not too bad for my very first virtual tour shoot. I ended up doing a lot outside too. As it turns out the home that I was doing a virtual tour of belongs to a famous country music … (0 comments)

Virtual Tour Software Tech Tip - 10/18/10 06:57 PM
This month's tech tip is about backing up your virtual tours. One of the most common calls I receive is from a dealer that has had a catastrophic computer problem that caused them to lose everything on their system. All too often the answer is "No" when I ask if they back their tours up regularly. Backing up tours is quick and external storage is cheap, so if you are not already backing up tours on a regular basis then you need to start now. Pick a day each week to back up your tours and … (0 comments)

HOT RTV Dealer Sales Secrets - 10/18/10 06:56 PM
Hello fellow RTV virtual tour Dealers. This is Donna with Challenging Designs a Hot Springs Village virtual tour company. I cannot begin to tell you what a difference “HD Gallery Showcase” (as I call them) is making for me! My prices are low to stay competitive here in this unique market. We are a resort/gated/retirement community. Our target group, up until lately, has been retirement age. This means less smart phones, less regional marketing and more national marketing. We can’t use Panoriders, and that $100 mark seems to be a wall with our older Realtors.
HOW IT ALL BEGAN I … (0 comments)

Best Damn Single Property Sites in Town - 10/18/10 06:53 PM
First of all, Virtual Vista has to thank the other property site providers for inspiring us to develop the best single property website available. So many companies deliver websites of such inferior quality that it detracts from the property instead of enticing potential buyers. These same companies design sites that market only the agent, not the property itself, and those that DO market the property are NOT what we like to call “Eye Candy.” Our Philosophy is SIMPLE…Give the buyer everything they need on ONE page. So, what are the keys to making a property website an excellent tool for the … (0 comments)

Layin Down the WOW! - 10/18/10 06:52 PM
The WOW Factor is a term tossed around quite frequently these days pertaining to every thing from entertainment competitions to business practices. I will use it here has it pertains to Virtual Tours and Real Estate Photography in general. In Real Estate photography the “WOW Factor” is very important element in marketing a property. Many Real Estate Agents/Brokers & home owners, when listing a property, tend to photograph every nook & cranny of the home ad-nauseam. A close-up of the archways, cornices, the hallway, shots of the half circle window and yes, even the kitchen sink. Boring! The purpose of interior … (0 comments)

New High Definition V-Slides are Driving Sales - 10/05/10 01:02 PM
Alamo Area Virtual Tours, http://www.alamoareavirtualtours.com has taken the Stand Alone SlideShow to its customers and it has been very well received. What I’ve found is that the new Standalone Slideshow from RTV is a HUGE success among the agents out there feeling the ‘pinch’ of the economic downturn and have contracted their marketing spending. The good news is that while this bunch is waiting and hoping for the next Real Estate Boom they're still willing to spend money on technology. Their just a little more price sensitive than before. So now with this new product I going across town telling them … (2 comments)
