So your out there in the real estate world and you work hard to land a listing and now that you have landed an account, it's time to market the listing, like many other agents you try to skimp and save a few bucks, so you go ahead and buy it one of those "do it yourself " virtual tour systems and take only a few minutes to learn how to use it.
So you rush out to that new listing and start snapping photos and once you have your images you run back to the office and start to build your tour on your DIY system, thinking you done a bang up job, you pat yourself on the back and post the tour to the internet for the whole world to see. Well guess what, you never know just where your work will show up or who will see it, so it might be a good idea if you take the time to make the best impression you can so you provide the best possible service that you can to your client the seller and don't do anything to embarrass yourself on a world wide stage, let alone on the local level.
Just think what your competing agents in town will have to say about you at their listing presentation while trying win the same account you are, when you do high quality work such as this little gem here.

So moral of the story is if your going to shoot your own in house virtual tours then at least get the place cleaned up before the photoshoot or you risk looking really bad and like a lazy agent or an agent who is clueless as to what makes buyers and investor want to take a look at your listings, instead of having a good laugh and moving on to the next listing that was marketed like a real, real estate professional!
You know some things are better left to a trained professional photographer and virtual tour provider!

Hi, William. Interesting blog. It would be nice if the virtual tour opened in a new window so I don't get kicked out of AR when I close the tour.
