real estate: real estate video tours update - 11/23/07 07:45 PM
For the past few weeks I have been a guest speaker at various sales office meetings and Real Estate Expos spreading the word about real estate video tours. Using this latest marketing tool has helped my business tremendously. I am helping other realtors to stop using the 360 tours and embrace video tours. I am not talking about photo tours that zoom in and out. This is real video of homes offering no distortion of images. This is the way video was meant to be watched. Check out www.DiamondHomeVideos.com to see what I mean. These professional videographers make the home look … (0 comments)

real estate: buyers are coming out again - 10/23/07 08:43 AM
There is light at the end of the tunnel. I have noticed lately there are more buyers out there than in the past few months. Also, only sellers who are serious about moving continue to list their homes. The speculators are keeping their homes off the market for the moment.
I believe that a responsible broker should sit down with perspective sellers at a listing presentation and determine their real motivation for selling their home. Agents should not be afraid to reject a listing for the sellers who are not very serious.
Here are some of the warning signs to look for.

real estate: new real estate video tour in Little Neck - 10/21/07 10:01 PM
Below is an example of a new real estate video tour in Little Neck, Long Island. This is not my listing, but it shows that you don't need to have a mansion or million dollar home to have a professional real estate video tour produced.
I think the Little Neck video tour below is an exclusive listing and it's missing some information still, but it is pretty cool that a buyer can now view a video instead of the dizzying 360 tours.

Video is king. The above video was also produced by Diamond Home Videos. www.DiamondHomeVideos.com.

real estate: advice for shooting first video tour - 10/18/07 10:36 PM
From a Realtor's perspective the video tour can serve many purposes.
1. You can use it as a listing tool to secure that new listing from the 100 other agents who want that same home
2. Help you earn a higher commission. Very few sellers will argue paying a higher commission when you are providing a high quality "movie" video tour of their lovely home.
3. Retain more buyers!!  A great video tour will keep the buyers coming back to see it over and over.
4. Keep the sellers very happy. Sellers will love you for offering this product!!!
When you do a video tour, here … (2 comments)

real estate: slide shows are not video tours - 10/18/07 09:57 PM
My office made the decision to offer for free to it's agents a virtual tour that consists of photos that zoom in and out and pan from side to side. If that's not a step backwards, I don't know what is. In addition these tours are created by the Realtors themselves. They can upload the photos regardless of the quality of the pictures. Here's the kicker, the service is a flat fee of only $125 per year for unlimited tours uploaded.
However, we need to realize that not all homes are worthy of a video tour either. It is best for agents … (5 comments)

real estate: video tour testimonial - 10/11/07 10:51 PM
Another Realtor in my office credits her video tour with helping her sell the home in less than three weeks! The buyers acknowledged that it was the video tour that helped them to make the decision to look at the home and ultimately purchase it. The video tour was created by www.DiamondHomeVideos.com. It was amzing. The best part is the house was a very modest cape. This shows that video tours can be done for any style home. Every Realtor should be doing Real Estate Video Tours. … (4 comments)

real estate: Another Video Tour testimonial - 10/09/07 08:13 PM
I started doing video tours with a company called Diamond Home Videos. Their website is at http://www.diamondhomevideos.com/ . I was very happy with the video tours that I will never go back to the spinning tours. If you're going to do video tours you really need a professional team of people.
I also have my video tours on Realtor.com my broker's site and my own website http://www.hectorshomes.com/.
Today I was stopped by one of my neighbors who was very impressed with my video tours. Like I said, if you go cheap, you will look cheap to your buyers and sellers. When it comes … (2 comments)

real estate: Video tours are a must - 10/05/07 01:03 PM
My name is Hector Gavilla and I am a Realtor. For the past few months I have been doing video tours with a company called Diamond Home Videos. The website is www.DiamondHomeVideos.com . This is so much better than the 360 tours that leave you spinning like a top.
It has only been within the past two years that online video became a reality for the Real Estate Industry. This technology is so new that it make sit easier to get new listings, buyers, and retain existing listings. Be sure to hire a professional videographer. Never do them yourself!

real estate: Video Tours do work - 10/04/07 08:23 AM
A few months ago I started doing online Real Estate Video Tours for my listings with amazing results. I am using a company called Diamond Home Videos. The videos appear on my local MLS website and my Realtor's website. For a small fee of $25 the video tours also appear on Realtor.com.
This is so much better than the spinning photos. It is a movie of the home. The website for the company I used is www.diamondhomevideos.com . It is very important that you use a professional videographer. Look at some samples of his work, etc. before you hire one. I learned … (0 comments)
