      <title>Home Sold using a &quot;Video Walk-Thru&quot;</title>
      <description>I sold my home in Towson, Maryland in October 2004...by owner.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I held an open house the same day that my neighbor was having a realtor-advertised-open house.&amp;nbsp; A woman stopped by after visiting my neighbor&amp;#39;s house...she was very interested in our home.&amp;nbsp; She told us that she was coming back the next evening with her husband and real estate agent to see the neighbor&amp;#39;s house.&amp;nbsp; She asked if she could bring them to see our house too.&amp;nbsp; I told her...&amp;quot;please do and to tell your agent that we are offering a (3%) commission to any agent who brings a buyer.&amp;quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I also told her that I had posted a &amp;quot;Video Walk-Thru&amp;quot; of the home on my webpage.&amp;nbsp; I had posted the video a month before and had about 20 hits...that evening I got another 30 hits.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The next night my potential buyer came back with her husband and real estate agent.&amp;nbsp; She proceeded to take them on a tour of the home.&amp;nbsp; She confessed, &amp;quot;I watched the video a few times last night and sent it to my parents and a few friends.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; She said that she felt like she &amp;quot;knew the house&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; She fell in love with it.&amp;nbsp; (It didn&amp;#39;t hurt that she has a black lab too.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;They gave us a full price offer for the home and thanks to their real estate agent the sale went through without any problems.&amp;nbsp; By the time we got to closing the video was watched over 100 times...our buyer told us that she sent the link of her new home to all her friends.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The &amp;quot;Video Walk-Thru&amp;quot; turned out to be a 24/7 Open House.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;To see the video go to:&amp;nbsp; wellcomemat.com/ustarvideos&lt;/div&gt;</description>
