You can pay any provider between $100 and $300 for a virtual tour and decide to place it in your MLS and in realtor.com and think you are doing all what can be done.
I f you do that you are paying too much for your tour since you are missing a huge part of your potential buyers. In this difficult market you are probably doing less than you usually did. On the other hand you are dumping a big amount of money advertising the property in the hope that it will sell. The way to do it is simple at least 90% of your possible customers are shopping online before they contact a realtor. So why would you advertise in the local newspaper that is viewed by only 17% of the possible customers when most of your prospects are shopping online? By doing this you are helping the advertise agent to make a better living. You need to understand your market and where it is getting the information they need.
