When to do it yourself vs when to rely on the pros?  How to over come the fear of video and how to best use it to sell homes and communities.  What makes a good video, what makes a bad video, and why video is so important in today's Real Estate market?

What's the best camera for video?  How much does it cost to have the pros come in? What is the future for Real Estate and Video?  What are the biggest Challenges shooting, editing, uploading etc.?

Meet Tara Jones from Reel Dwellings TV and ActiveRain


Come join us, ask questions, or just listen in.  We'll be live on the air at 2:00pm EST, 11:00am PDT.  Just go to RainRadio for all the details.  Join me every Thursday at the same RAIN time, same RAIN Channel. :-)

I'm really excited to have Tara as our guest.  I was very fortunate to meet her in person at the Inman Connect in San Francisco a couple months back, and I'm really looking forward to her sharing her experience and wisdom that she has gained over the many years of doing video.  Listen to R.A.I.N today, as Tara expands on some of the thoughts and ideas she has already been so generous in sharing with us on AR.

Thanks for the urging to do videos I am trying and it seems like we need to just do it I am so focused on getting it right I haven't completed it.

Terry- Just know that it is going to take some time to get it right and it will NEVER be perfect.  That's part of the beauty of video...you can always look at it and see something you would have done differently to make it look better the next time.  Complete your first project and then move on.  You will be amazed at how much you learn and grow as you continue to create video. 

As always, we're here to help and answer any questions you may have.  Good luck!!!

Tara - as always, that's the best advice!!  Terry - she's right, every video I watch that I have ever done, can always be better. I always see something I could have changed or done differently. 

Just move on and learn from each experience. 

Example: Just go look at the first Blog post you ever did, look how far you have come.  Video is the same thing.  Practice and experience is the only thing that replaces being taught.  You can learn to fly a plane in a classroom, but reality says "you'll only get better, the more you fly."   :-))

Mara - he's famous to me, he sang a song, (many actually) he's really good, you know him, I may have him sing for us on the next Rain Radio show.  Gotta have some fun with it too right?  haha.  I may break for a commercial announcement and have him be the commercial announcement.  Hint:  He sang the song about "Realtors" having the Blues...   shhhh   :-)

Brad- Thanks so much for having me on today. I really enjoyed speaking with you and I truly hope it was beneficial to those listening.

Tara - All the Thanks goes to you. We had numerous callers on the line I would have taken, but I wanted to keep the show to 30 minutes. (so people hopefully listen) haha.  After the content you shared, I wished we had gone an hour.  Next time (and I hope you'll join us again) I'll be sure to allow enough time for such a hot topic as video.  Let's get TJ on as well. 

Thanks again, the information and delivery was outstanding.  :)  MWA!!

Narrated video live tours, not pictures zooming in and out is a real "tour" of a property.  The tour shows how the rooms, the "pictures" all tie together. Good post...exciting times and another tool to broadcast the property in an easy to swallow format for the viewer that you lose after 6 seconds unless you make it easy, smooth and informational!

Andrew - GREAT POINTS - thanks.  :-)  These are very exciting times and the market is allowing many in the industry to take advantage of learning all this stuff, and the power of it all, before it turns around again.  It will turn around again, and that's not just optimism talking either!!

You have a great point as well, Brad! This is the PERFECT time to get your websites and marketing up to par.  When the market returns it is those real estate professionals who kept pushing through that will reap the rewards.

Tara - thanks.  Yes, the time is now, planting the seeds HAS TO take place before anyone can enjoy the harvest.  Thanks for that confirmation.  :-)

That's right, Brad and the more seeds you plant the great the harvest will be! ;-)
