theater of homes: "Taking Home Tours Without Ever Visiting the House" - www.9news.com - 02/20/09 08:10 AM
While reading "Taking home tours without ever visiting the house" posted February 20th, 2009 by Jeffrey Wolf at http://www.9news.com, Wolf states "Home owners are perhaps catching wind of this. More of them are producing their own virtual tours and posting them on Web sites like YouTube.com. Some of them resemble homemade movies with shaky video and less than professional production value, but if it helps get the house sold, production value may be irrelevant."  Is production value irrelevant?  Will a home have equal chances of selling whether it has a professionally produced video tour, a Realtor/home owner made video tour, or … (2 comments)

theater of homes: "Increasing Numbers of Metro Realtors turn to Youtube" - Article from the StarTribune - 02/20/09 07:33 AM
I found this article from the StarTribune out of Minneapolis - St. Paul, Minnesota titled "Increasing Numbers of Metro Realtors turn to Youtube" authored by Andrew Newman, published February 20th, 2009.
I found Jimmy Jensen's comments of the Jensen Team out of Rogers, MN refreshing.  He was quoted saying "Pictures only show so much."  Jensen creates is own video tours.  His videos are no longer that 3 minutes.  He performs his own narration in which he describes the home's amenities and features.   Interesting enough, he even composes his own background music.  He posts his videos to distribution services such as Youtube and … (1 comments)

theater of homes: ABC's Good Morning America - "Sell Your Home with Virtual Video Tours" - 02/19/09 05:51 AM
"Sell Your Home with Virtual Video Tours" was the title of ABC's Good Morning America news program.  A video and written report was released this morning on abcnews.go.com depicting video tours has the new "state of the art" technology for online home tour viewing leaving photo stitched 360 tours in the dust.  One statistic I found interesting and important if accurate was reported by Elisabeth Leamy who said "studies show visitors stay at websites that offer video 78 percent longer."  As we all know in the web community retaining visitors translates into conversions or in other words a new potential customer.

theater of homes: A MEET-THE-AGENT video is just as important as a business card - 02/07/09 12:55 PM

Theater of Homes feels that a MEET-THE-AGENT video is just as important as a business card.

theater of homes: Blip.tv kicked us out! - 01/28/09 07:11 AM
 
Below is their email to Theater of Homes and then my reply.  I just thought it was interesting.  I'd like to hear your (ActiveRain) comments on this.  It wasn't necessarily addressed in Blip.tv's email but are property video tours starting to trash video distribution video services such as Blip.tv?  I have my own concerns with this.  I myself want one centralized place to go to find every property listing in the world.  Something like Google Maps or Google Earth for real estate.  You cruse over the planet like a spy satellite and all these pins pop up of available property listings.  Then I can zoom in … (3 comments)

theater of homes: Change is inevitable, adapt or die - 01/07/09 02:03 PM
This entry was provoked by a blog post by Rebecca Levinson that I commented on.  I figured it may be useful to others so I re-posted here.
In response to:  http://activerain.com/blogsview/787364/The-Internet-Debunked-A-short-story-featuring-Michael-Levinson
My background is in technology.  I was raised with it.  My father owned a Durango computer when I was a boy that cost $25,000.  I am willing to bet that we were the only family in our neighborhood to have a home computer in the early 80's.  I am a self proclaimed geek and am way ahead of the curve when it comes to technology adoption.  I realize that what I … (1 comments)

theater of homes: Internet Video is the Future and the Future is NOW - 01/05/09 01:22 PM
 
 
 
I recently commented on a blog post and felt that my message was relevant to every real estate professional so here it is.
In reference to blog post: http://activerain.com/blogsview/542199/Agent-Uses-Video-To
After reading the many comments posted here regarding effectiveness of video tours as a marketing tool, there is an element I see somewhat unaddressed.  That element is the human evolution in regard to technology.  Buyers and sellers alike are raising the bar whether they know it or not just by living in this modern technological society.  As generations pass, integration of technology couples everyday life experiences.  Expectations are on the rise.  The transition from … (4 comments)
