A few weeks back, I was helping an agent get some internet exposure for her listing.  We decided a video tour was a must, but didn't have the budget to hire a videographer.  I shot the tour using the video function on my digital camera, uploaded it, spliced different shots together, and added fade-outs and music overlay.  Then came the nightmare...

The websites that would take my spliced video wouldn't take the music overlay.  The websites that would take the music, would only accept one room shot at a time.  Then there were the websites that wouldn't take video at all, and only accept slideshow-format virtual tours.  I was ready to pull my hair out! 

Finally, I found WellcomeMat.  Not only did it accept my amateur video with the splicing and the music.... but when I left a question about formatting in the "contact us" section, I got an email back from Christian Sterner (co-founder of WellcomeMat) in about 20 minutes.  I was SHOCKED!  Not only is the site the easiest to use for those of us without professional video equipment, the upload quality is the best, and the customer service is unbelieveable!

I recommend WellcomeMat to anyone using video tours for their listings, whether you hire a professional or do it yourself!

I have heard great things about this company, but haven't tried it. Guess it is time

Good morning, Meghan    Thanks for the research you've done on this subject.  Frustrating when the technology we all depend on so much becomes a nightmare !  Thanks again.

Yup, they're VERY good in regards to customer service - always.  And if you need any help, they're always there.  Always.  It's a pleasure in these days of slow/ no response or never ending voice mail and endless 'music on hold'.
