One of my favorite property websites is by OBEO.  The site offers many features:

  • Enhanced Mapping- ariels, mapps by demographics and linking to sites like google
  • Embedded virtual tours
  • All your photographs
  • Virtuial floorplans- allows viewers to move furniture into the floorplan.
  • Detailed statistics- shows you how much traffic goes to each picture and where the traffic is coming from.  Set to go to your client on a regular basis
  • Add any information you want including html

Sample front page

Sample Interactive Floorplan

 

Sample Property Report

 

Sample Sites:

www.120salemstreetAndoverMA.com

www.144KentuckyRoad.com

www.150NorthAve.com

 

One potential downside is, although OBEO allows me to do my own photography, they inist on quality photographs and will not allow you to use your own photos.  They send out a photographer (not a bad thing) Their base pricing last time I looked was $129.00 for the website, 12 still photos and 4 virtual tour shots.  You can have more photos taken and the price goes up.  The quality of their photos are very good.

I have a signe rider made and drive traffic of the street sign as well as link a non-branded site to my mls( cool part is the virtual floorplan shows up) also link easily with realtor .com.

Check it out.  Its great for upscale listings and you wont be dissappointed with their photography.

I like OBEO too. A little expensive in my area, but lovely tool for sellers. I also use AgencyLogic. Try looking it up. It's cheap but effective at SEO.

Kevin,

       I am a Real Tour Vision dealer, and am familiar with Obeo's service.  The issue that I see with realtors is that all these companys have these solution services.  Nobody teaches you how to really effectively list online.  I'm talking exactly the process, and the sales elements that are involved.  Obeo has professional photographers, and most RTV dealers are professional photographers.  I am not.  What I am is an expert in how to effectively list/sell online using the internet as a sales tool.  I offer workshops for realtors, auto, boat, RV dealers on how to do it themselves, or if using an outside company how you want them to do it.  Please take a look at my blog posts.  I will be going to other areas in the upcoming year to offer this workshop.

My business is oriented towards referral (86% of roughly $8MM in sales this year)...I view the internet as being a useful informational tool... also necessary... but asm I going to put all my resources in ti... no. Currently it is about 20% of my budget and 3% of my direct saled... but for information it is hard to beat...
