Do Virtual Tour Videos on YouTube.com Help?

By
Real Estate Agent with Illustrated Properties

Virtual Tour Videos on YouTube.comVirtual tour videos on youtube.com have been a great help in my recent marketing efforts to help sell a home. Uploading these videos is just another free tool us realtors have at our disposal. If you aren't currently exploiting this resource, now is the time you might want to consider.

A quick youtube.com brief: Video sharing website for users can upload and shre (email, facebook, twitter, etc.) among one another. Google is part of youtube.com helping with the all important SEO (search engine optimization). So adding a virtual tour video of your home to be sold to youtube.com automatically increases those backlinks and will undoubtedly help with the ranks.

** Remember: These can be viewed on just about any phone device these days too! **

 

I recently wrote a blog: "Are Pictures Important For Real Estate?" One key note here I want to mention again - QUALITY!

  • The home needs to be staged properly. If you don't have that vision it takes, hire somebody. You need to do what you can to create the best environment to capture that interested buyer.

  • The photographs need to make the house look enticing. Now that the house is staged correctly, put the video to work for you. Again, if you don't have the skill, hire somebody.
I had a listing with a virtual tour video on youtube.com and the home was recently purchased SIGHT UNSEEN because of the video. I can't honestly say that it will happen again, but I will say that I put a little extra effort and time into my work and it definitely paid off! YOUR TURN!

YouTube.com presents an endless amount of opportunity to the Real Estate community. It doesn't just stop at the virtual tours helping to sell homes. You want to sell yourself as a local expert, right? Here are a few ides to help you out using youtube: cover local events in your area, frequently asked questions, real estate tips, client testimonials, the list goes on...

Are you up for the challenge? That's up for you to decide.
