I do photography for real estate and typically have the agent or the seller meet me at the property. There have been a couple times where an agent and I started to enter the home and weren't sure if the seller was home or not. Some of you must have some interesting stories about finding sellers or animals home when you thought they were out... What did you find and how did you handle it?
Many MLS sites have now increased the number and size of still photos allowed on MLS. With the increase in number and size, you'll find there is a greater need for higher quality, clearer photos, as well. When InSite Virtual Tours creates tours for agents, we also offer still photography as an extra if they need still photos. We e-mail MLS size photos to the agents and provide them with a CD that also contains the photos in High Quality, which can be used for higher resolution advertising. According to Realtor.com: "Eighty four percent of home buyers say photos and detailed property descriptions are the most important features when searching online for homes - followed closely by Featured (virtual) tours."
One thing that I'm pleased to offer with the virtual tour technology of Real Tour Vision, is the ability to click on icons ("hotspots") that lead from room to room. This allows the viewer to choose where they want to go in the home, and gives a good sense of the home's floor plan. Another interesting point about the hotspot icons, is that they can be customized according to who you are creating the tour for. Your real estate company or business can use their logo as the hotspot icon. It reinforces their company recognition in a functional way. Click on this example of a home where you can click on a star and it will take you to the next room. In the RealtorR Magazine Online, they have a positive article announcing their prediction that home sales are going to gradually go up. Here is a quotation from the article: "Overall housing levels are historically strong, but sales remain sluggish compared to the recent boom," says Lawrence Yun, NAR senior economist. "It's important to keep in mind that all real estate is local, and many markets are expected to have higher sales and strengthening prices during the second half of this year."

Every once in a while I come across a property I really think is worth mentioning... and here is one of them. A 5323 square foot log cabin on 5 acres for $875,000 in Oregon. I've included the virtual tour below. It's worth taking a look... Log Cabin Virtual Tour... click here
When you are contacted via e-mail regarding a home you're listing, a possible new listing, or your services, what are some successful ways that you follow up. I have read that those who contact via e-mail prefer to be contacted back by e-mail. Have you found this to be true? I'd love to hear successful and well received follow up methods.
Are there occasions when you use night photos for advertising your listings? I recently took this night shot for an agent who has a listing overlooking Eugene, OR. In situations like these, I can see how a night shot would be beneficial. When is it important for you to do so? I have seen a couple other night shots used for advertising, but not many. Oregon is the second most moved-to state in the nation!... and more than 75% of buyers begin their home search online (according to National Assoc of Realtors)... Other stats... according to Realtor.com, homes with virtual tours are clicked on 40% more than those without virtual tours. I'm pleased to announce that InSite Virtual Tours has just partnered with Homes and Land magazine to bring more exposure to the virtual tours we create for you... Take a trip on your computer...
