Single Property Websites - Your feedback needed - 11/07/08 02:17 PM
I have done a small blog on single property websites, but as I am restructuring this product, I wanted to see if I could get some feedback on what is important from the agents standpoint.  So, agents, PLEASE let me know what is important to you in a single property website.
For those of you not familiar with this product, it is a great tool that not only helps sell your properties, but also attracts more listings.  I know what it is like when you are trying to list a property, and this is one more cost effective tool that I believe … (9 comments)

Lighting - what are your choices? - 11/05/08 10:38 AM
If you are not a photog, you may not realize that lighting is your single most important creative tool when creating a photograph.  It does not take the most expensive camera with an array of expensive lenses (although good quality equipment is a good idea) to make beautiful, professional photos.
With that being said, improper use of light can be disasterous.  I have blogged on lighting before, and I am bringing it back up a little more in depth because it is so important.
What choice do you have when it comes to lighting?  Below is a listing that will hopefully … (8 comments)

Any RTV Builders want to input on this idea? - 11/04/08 02:58 PM
I have been trying to work soething out in my head, and I have the design, but I don't know if it will work or not.  It might, but I just can't get my head wrapped around it.
I want to be able to do a 360° tours AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF AN ITEM.  in otherwords, say you have an piece of sculpture, and you want to show it from every view.  Take a look at the (terribly, quickly done) drawing (below) that I have roughed out and let me know if you think it would work. 
If you are an … (3 comments)

Panoriders for your signs and single property websites - 11/04/08 10:57 AM
Have you heard of Panoriders available from your RTV dealers to go with your virtual tours?  How about single property websites?
Your local RTV virtual can provide you with a single property website and a beautiful rider to hang on your sign with this web address right on the sign.  This is a great marketing tool that should really help boost your sales and your listings!
A single property website is basically a virtual tour with a domain name specific to that prpoerty (www.318MidsummerDrive.com)  You can add map buttons, mortgage buttons, a sales flyer, etc to the tour and it is … (6 comments)

VT Providors....what else are you missing out on? - 11/04/08 09:12 AM
I know that you are creating virtual tours, and hopefully doing so many that you can't keep up.  But, what other services do you offer your clients? 
I am also interested to see how you got into the virtual tour business.  I was a photographer and decided to branch out into virtual tours.  But, the opposite would work just as well.  If you do not consider yourself a professional photographer, this is a great segue into that field.  The two products work hand in hand and it would be a great way to expand your business.
I personally have always preferred commercial … (2 comments)

Do you need a personal Website? Of course you do! - 11/03/08 11:11 AM
These days, there is nothing more important than a personalized webspace of you are in business for yourself.  It doesn't matter if you sell hand made purses or real estate.  Most of your customers simply expect you to have a personal website.
You do not need to spend thousands, unless you have the budget to do so.  A simple site that gives great information about you with some pictures, etc is all that is needed.  If you can't afford a IDX solution, you can probably link to your company website for the search capabilities (check with your campany on this).  Some … (1 comments)

Lighting and Camera Choice - Make better photos - 11/03/08 09:37 AM
If you are a real estate professional, and you are not interested in hiring a professional photographer, that is no excuse to have flat, lifeless photos of your properties.  There are a couple of easy things that you can do to take much better pictures!
First and foremost, buy a digital SLR camera.  I, personally, love Nikon products.  For what you are doing, you can purchase a D40 - you can find it on line usually for under $400.  This camera is only 6.1 MP, but that is plenty when you are taking photos for web applications.  Be sure that you … (5 comments)
