Having a difficult time working around all of the busy holiday schedules to fit a showing in before the New Year? Circle Shot Media (http://www.circleshotmedia.com) has a solution for you! We will create a Virtual Tour to showcase your home or business. We will help you increase your showings and decrease the number of times you will have to drive out to the property to meet with a potential buyer. It's like having a 24x7 open house - available online.

There are several reasons to use Virtual Tours as Marketing tools. Here are some of the many:

The average virtual tour on REALTOR.com® receives an average of 13 hits per day and each scene gets four views per day. (Summary Tour Traffic Report, Internal logs. Nov 2001)

Real Tour Vision^TMis a PicturePath^TMPartner with homestore.com^TM which allows virtual tours powered by Real Tour Vision^TMto be posted to the #1 real estate Web site - REALTOR.com® with more than 1.7 million listings. (Net Ratings, Sept 2001) Please visit http://www.realtourvision.com for more information.

Roughly 50% of Homestore^TMvisitors are "actively shopping". Of those actively shipping, 94% say they have found a home/homes that they are interested in on REALTOR.com®. (this means that, of our total visitors, just under 50% say they have found a home they are interested in.) (REALTOR.com® Web Site Visitor Survey, November 2001)

Virtual Tours put realtors in touch with out of town home buyers who are interested in relocating. The internet is nation wide.

Our Virtual Tours enables out-of-town buyers to make qualified decisions efficiently and conveniently because now they now have the ability to visually walk through the property without having to be there.

Homebuyers are becoming much more Web savvy. Did you know that 60% of homebuyers are using the Internet to get home buying information. By 2005, Jupiter Research predicts that number will be as high as 80%. (NAR Jupiter Research Oct 23, 2001 Realty Times)

Internet homebuyers are more educated and invest significant time investigating the housing market and financing options before contacting a Realtor. Internet buyers spend nearly three times as much time investigating real estate markets before contacting a Realtor than traditional homebuyers. By the time Internet buyers contact an agent, they have a good understanding of what they want, where they want to live and what they can afford. (2001 CAR study)

Virtual Tours really work! Here is what Travis Lake had this to say about Virtual Tours in the Real Estate market place - " I do not even consider an online listing that does not offer a Virtual Tour with Panoramic 360 images". He went on to say "Even though the homes we are viewing are in a different state, I feel as if I have already had a quality viewing of the floor plan and layout of each individual home, that's crucial when the homes are so far away" Circle Shot Media's Virtual Tours enabled us to sell the home that we owned quickly and with out hassle. Circle Shot Media's still photography really captured the beauty of our property while showcasing our home in a very professional manner. We recommend Circle Shot Media for all of your Virtual Tour and photography needs.
