Before you bring a photographer to place some photos of your property or listing  on the Internet ask yourself some questions.

·         Are you trying to make your property or listing more appealing to possible buyers?

·         Where should I invest some money to make this happen?

·         Should I hire a professional decorator?

·         What could I do myself to make the property more appealing?

The first thing to work on is curb appeal,

1.      Hire a company that can work on your front yard to make it more attractive or at least mow the lawn two or three days before the photographer comes to take the pictures.

2.      Invest some money and paint the front of the house and take care of any place inside the property that requires some maintenance.

Then the work inside your property just started

1.      Place as many bright lamps as possible. Remember you can always place back your saving lamps after the photographer has taken the pictures.

2.      Check that all the curtains work so the windows can allow the outside light to come in.

3.      If you have some extra money you can hire a professional decorator, but this  is expensive.

The most important task you have to accomplish is de-cluttering…

What is meant by this?  You do not need to become crazy and move out, just follow this little list of recommendations before your photographer appointment is due.

1. You do not have to remove all your family photos, but is you have your hallways filled with them or your photos cover every end table it is necessary. The possible buyers will be distracted by them. As they look at your house they will be thinking on the sellers instead of the property.

2. Your personal papers should be out of sight. Take some time to organize them. High definition photos can allow your personal information to be read on the Internet.

3. If you have cash, cash boxes or coin jars sitting out in the open... put them away. It's looks better for everyone if it's out of sight. As photographers we will like to remind you that some people will come and visit your home and regretfully we cannot vouch for their honesty. Keep all your valuables out of sight so they stay out of mind. Antiques and works of art should be removed from your property or placed where people do not see them.  If buyers don't know they are there they won't think about them.

4. Remove any display of guns from your home before the photographer comes buy. These displays make buyers think your neighborhood is insecure.

5. Put shoes or any item that gives the impression of lack of storage away. A pile of shoes or a lot of clothe hanging from a perch will make the buyer think that there is not enough storage in your home. So, just put them away.

6. Remove everything from you kitchen counter. Every object on the counter is giving the appearance that you do not have enough storage space. The cleaner you can leave the counter, the more buyers dream of being in there. How about a cleaned up kitchen? Would you like to spend time there?

7. Remove everything from your fridge. You have a doubt just take a photo of it before and after taking everything off. It is really refreshing to walk into a home that has a clean fridge. Anything that you allow to stay will become a distraction or a potential hazard if there is some kind of personal information on those papers.

There are many more ways to de-clutter a home before our photographers pay your home a visit, but these are some important things to consider. Please be considerate our photographers do not have the time to be moving your items around, their next appointment is waiting for them.

Being an RTV dealer since 2005 has been the best decision our company Virtual Florida Tours has made. Before starting our relationship with RTV we made a research of the other companies that were offering similar programs. At the time we did not know that RTV was so committed to help us launch our company, or that they will keep teaching and researching how to make all of us more knowledgeable in all the techniques and programs that will allow us give a better service to our clients.

Now RTV gave us a new present they just launched our new Image Delivery Engine allowing us a quick and simple way to deliver high resolution images directly to our customers.

Until now I had to invest valuable time setting the pictures on a zip file or sending the pictures in multiple emails to send the pictures to my customers. This new system simplifies the whole process of emailing the photos to my customers, reducing the time invested on this. 

Congratulations again on the hard work to all the members of RTV! This is what has made our decision to join this fabulous company such a good decision.

I was recently reading the opinion of one of the realtor companies of Largo, Florida and I noticed that they were mentioning some of the most important advantages of using virtual tours by realtors.

According to Jack Keller Inc. Realtors from Largo Florida there is a substancial leverage when you have a virtual Tour of yor property. I will present some of the points that they consider really inportant in placing yourself in this new Internet marketing.

1. According to the National Association of realtors eighty one percent of home buyers say photos and detailed property descriptions are the most important features they are seeking when searching online for homes(1).

2. In fact, including a virtual tour will ensure you gain the maximum exposure for your listing. Recent statistics show that listings with virtual tours receive 4 times more hits than those with just traditional still photos. The need for REALTORS® to take advantage of these preferences and differentiate themselves as Internet marketing specialists has never been greater(2).

(3) When you stablish yourself as an Inrternet marketing specialist, you're not just catering to home buyers - you're also strengthening your marketing proposals with home sellers. You are building your personal brand awareness with your photo prominently displayed. This makes each listing a link for leads to you.

Differentiate how you market homes. Reach Internet consumers with virtual tours on the #1 real estate site (3), REALTOR.com®. Home buyers and sellers spent 80% of the time they searched for a home online on REALTOR.com® (3) REALTOR.com® is used by over 5.7 million prospective home buyers and sellers a month (4).

Every Real Estate company needs to embrace a “Get It Done” attitude. We need to use those companies that have the knowledge, skills and tools to accomplish the needed tasks in a better way. There are certain tasks in real estate that are not the main goal of the company. If we use an specialized provider we will be able to increase the efficiency and quality of our end product. Whether it be a listing presentation or taking the pictures for our listing. We can use mobile websites, and professional photography to accomplish the different tasks that are required in real estate.
