Who is using a promotional video (DVD,CD,online, etc) in their pre-list packets and how did you make it?  I guess I'm looking for an idea of cost and quality level of the video.  Do I hire a professional for the video?  How long should it run?  What am I looking at spending to get it made and copied?  I'm thinking of something that has the feel of an HGTV show with me maybe giving instructional info and a personal brochure type video as well.  Thanks for any input...

 2 options I can tell you off the top of my head.

1. Hire a videographer in your area. Between the cost of the daily 'Commercial shoot' and post processing of about 5-10 minutes~ ballpark is about $5k

2. Get a VT CD of all your listings and include it as a "promotional CD" in your package. It shows how you have marketed your past listings. Very impressive to sellers. Cost depending on number of tours ~ $250- ?

Great idea about the VT CD.  I can do that right now!  Thanks again Cheryl

I don't use a personal video per se, but I do utilize two things:

1)  A dedicated website strictly for sellers - with suggestions on how to interview an agent, etc, as well as my full marketing plan.

2)  Part of that site includes a short listing video that shows what I do that nobody else does in regards to marketing, such as Real Estate Video Podcasts, enhanced Realtor.com listings and Real Estate Video Tours, etc.  Interestingly enough, in less than a month, that video has been viewed on Yahoo Video more than 3,000 times already! (and it's on ten other video sites as well!)

You should be able to find a Videographer (maybe someone who does weddings or something?) in your area.  Locally, I use Nashua Video Tours, which specializes in high definition real estate video tours.

Why go to all the expense and trouble.  Have you exhaused the tied and true methods for boosting referrals and sales?

 I discovered www.neverask.com

 Anyone else trying this system?  It looks affordable and seems like it really works.
