Lake Lanier - 5996 Wellington Ave, Gainesville Real Estate - Georgia Homes Digest from Joshua Jarvis on Vimeo.


This is a video tour of 5996 Wellington Avenue in Gainesville, GA. The home sits on acreage with waterfront property on Lake Lanier. With 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, a full finished basement and over three acres, this home is spacious. Obviously, the main attraction is the lake view and the 2 boat slips. Deep water all year around on this home.

Since this is my first video, please feel free to critique it and let me know how to improve! (be kind).  I posted an unbranded version of this in Realtor.com.

The movie was made with a Flip! Video camera ($130) and Windows Movie Maker (which is free).  I look forward to doing more of this! If you have been making movies for e-mail video or video tours, let me know.

Nice job! See - it's not so difficult!

I would strongly suggest investing in a tripod.  It will make a world of difference in the look of the video.  Even the cheapest tripod is better than hand held.

Also, you can upload a BRANDED video to realtor.com under the 'featured tours' section.  If you upload it to the video section, it needs to be unbranded (which is absolutely ridiculous thinking, but thems the rules!)  I usually upload a branded one to the featured tour and an unbranded one to the video section.  That way, you get TWO icons on your listing and double the chances that someone will view the video. 

In this market, I would also suggest NOT placing a price on the video.  You know how much work went into putting it together in the first place..... do you really want to redo it everytime you change the price?????  Generally the video is clicked on from an MLS listing or other listing page, which DOES have the correct price.  But prices fluctuate so often, you're creating a LOT more work if you have to constantly ve changing that and redoing the video.

You also might want to post your videos on WellcomeMat - it's for real estate ONLY and the quality is about as good as it gets on the web - without the advertising and Mentos videos getting in the way!
