According to NAR, 73% of sellers say they would list with a real estate agent that would use video to market their property. Since video shows up on page one of Google and over 100 Million people watch online video each day, there are many real estate agents that have seen the results and use video to show off the home for buyers searching online. Unfortunately, many more real estate agents are not using this tool.

YouTube is the 2nd largest search engine in the world. YouTube is the THIRD most visited website in the world! The average website visit without video is 50 seconds and the average website visit with video is over 5 minutes. Consumers prefer video and real estate listings can be irrelevant if we are not talking in the language they prefer. We are invisible if the consumer cannot find us at the exact moment they need you.

There are do-it-yourself ways to create a video with all the digicams and video-editing software becoming ever more sophisticated and affordable. I find that hiring a professional has become even more affordable than ever and the local companies in our area offer different services such as property websites, fusion photography, and creating floor plans for listings to display online. The benefit to all these are the ability to add much more photos than the MLS allows.  I have also used different virtual tours that allow you to upload your photos yourself and select the music and voice over narration.
