As good and as much fun as YouTube is, it doesn't give you a lot of benefits that are specific to real estate and helping you grow your real estate business. Even real estate video companies provide few (if any) benefits to make your life easier in terms of time and cost savings for using video - they talk a lot about the video but never say that you still have to cut and paste video into each of your listings. Could a broker or agency with dozens or hundreds really invest the time to do that?

If you have a sizable or growing number of listings, this process of finding and pasting the embed code can be a lot of work...and many agency websites are simply not set up to give access to the code required for agents to do their own cutting and pasting.

Imagine if you had a system where any agent in your office or any agent that is part of your agency could quickly and easily upload a property or commmunity video directly into a listing that they posted. Or even better, show a link to the correct community video from a central video library of videos made by your team of agents. Videos that are uploaded can come from any source - contracted or self-filmed with a flip camera, mini-dv or professional HDV camera.

What If I told that we can do the same things with PDFs or Office documents?

Vidlisting.com has a system that can be quickly added to any broker or agency website that lets individual agents within an office or agency upload videos for listings that they have filmed or that they choose from a central library that other agents in your office have filmed.  This system is live today on a number of broker websites.

Here is an example of how one broker has chosen to implement the system:

 

Video conversion nto a listing

As you can see, the agents require almost no technical knowledge to include videos in their listings. The video automatically knows where to be displayed. Videos with narration in multiple languages will have the correct languages displayed within the listing.

Everything occurs within the agency or brokers domain and is branded for you. We can even set things up so you control 100% of your SEO and  when your video listing is found by Google, the search result points to the player page in your own domain and not vidlisting.

If you are considering using video in your  organization but dont want to cut and paste video embed codes all day long, try our extremely reasonably priced solutions. You get video widgets and a player page exclusively branded for you or your broker/agency, a fast solution that will let you or your agents upload videos or documents directly into listings, and a custom branded upload page within your own domain. 

Youtube, Wellcomemat, and none of the others have the ability to upload videos or other media directly into your listings. Best of all, your customers will thnk that you are hosting videos on your own server when actually we are taking care of all of the headaches for you.  Give us a try - call me at 360-362-1032 and ask for our individual or corporate packages (lets multiple agents have all of the above fun and advantages)
