I Whisper Something In Your Ear, You Turn And Do The Same, On And On Down The Real Estate Line.

Real Estate Agent with MOOERS REALTY ME Broker License 106759

Tell me what you saw at your new home listing today Mr and Mrs Real Estate Agent, Broker, REALTOR will you?

maine welcomes you sign Suzy describes the 5/3/1 ranch one way, shoots pictures in a certain number, style and puts those photos and in her two cents, her spin on what this new listing is all about. But the guy or gal on the other end of the Internet signal, the local newspaper ad, the brochures direct mailed and all the other media used, what is he or she ending up with? And how well does it actually mirror the sticks and bricks of that 5/3/1 mild mannered ranch?  Do you the listing agent do the copy, pictures, media insertions, plant the sign and everything from A-Z on the marketing? Or is it piece meal, everyone else in the office gets a hand in the production...and are you the only one that actually has set foot in the place?

Did the sliders to the deck get left out of the write up due to only two lines of MLS copy remarks space? And a shortage of images also missed this small but defining feature?

You get 25 photo sockets, more on your own site but do you fill the plane? Leaving no empty seats before marketing take off, launch and everyone buckles up, puts the tray in an upright position?

If you shoot, edit, upload real full motion video, suddenly the 30 frames per second and sounds from the property help the buyer draw conclusions. To see clearly, start to get the picture loud and clear, without any whispers here and there to try and figure it all out. Don't waste his time. Or he will find another guy or gal wearing the "R" that does not. That says sure, happy to deliver in living color, full rich natural sound and total picture, details on this smart looking one floor living rancher just listed, new to the market.

Not relying on added phone calls pulling like hen's teeth for more information on what is left out, not so clearly presented caused by all the whispering down the line at your office.

The buyer just hoping for the gist of the place, area run down. Real video gets the buyer up to speed, smooths out the missing details based on his own play by play, not just your vague, skimpy short hand in the MLS write up. Real estate full motion video delivers, does that so well, quickly, deeply. Because your buyer has been to the property.

Real full motion video to show and tell, use the eyeballs and the ear drums for a deep, long lasting, more complete presentation of the property, the community and you the professional.

Still talking about getting in to video, some day? You know it works, why are only one percent of real estate agents, brokers, REALTORS using it fully? Maine, big state and we like to show it off, are some kind of happy to live, work, play here.

Good post and a good reminder that more of should be using video presentations. Thanks for sharing.

Some of your Maine weather visited us in Maryland this week. There are still over 100,000 families without power in Montgomery County.

 The colors of winter in Maryland. Life is very good!
