So hands down, the number one reason to use video online is to increase your SEO results. But what about using video outside of the web? Take your imagination to this place if you haven't already. I'm talking about engaging your client personally with video.
Here's how:
1.) The Out of Town Client- What a personal touch to grab a camera and take a walk through a home for a buyer that may be out of town. This is an excellent way to not only show the client you care about their search but also that you are tech savvy and up to par with today's technological standards. It's one way to go above and beyond as an agent.
2.) The Inspection- We all know that inspections can be time consuming but are monumentally important. What if a client can't be on site for the whole inspection or even part of the inspection? Or what if one member of the party can't be on site? Offering to video the property inspection is another way to show you are a hands-on, top notch agent.
3.) The Preparation- We all know every seller out there doesn't know the best way to market their homes for sale. So why not arm them with videos to show them what you would love to tell them? OK, so one of these is going to be self-serving but it's a product I believe in whole-heartedly. The Seller's Video Connector is an inexpensive, 10-video DVD that you can present to the seller to get their home ready for the market. Video, used in this way, will set you apart from the competition and will ultimately make your job easier by selling your listings.

What a great little JVC cam that is! I have to rely on my FLIP, but it has been handy in doing video of walk-throughs & home inspections (even refrigerator installations) for out-of-town clients.
