Internet video production, distribution and marketing for real estate professionals who want to differentiate themselves.
The Goods
Much of what we learn about Internet marketing is by experimenting with methods and measuring the results. Video marketing has proven to be a consistent source of success for our clients, especially when teamed with social networks and more traditional marketing like email newsletters and web sites. While qualified lead generation is occuring, we are also seeing enterprising relocation professionals leverage their video investments in unique and powerful ways. One of the most powerful methods we have seen is the use of video in seller listing presentations.

CityTourVideo.com seeks to make real estate Internet video more relevant and educational for consumers. It does just what it sounds like - provides consumers with citytour videos. But we've improved upon the experience by surrounding these videos with geo-ranking and mapping tools to better inform consumers about their relocation options. We are currently in Beta testing for the site so if you visit CityTourVideo.com, please share your comments and observations with founder Eric Robbins.

It is commonly believed in the real estate industry that 90% of home buyers begin their home search on the Internet and are most interested in researching homes for sale, mortgages and locational information. We believe that video learning is a superior method of delivering much of this information over the Internet. 67% of your target market (ages 35-64) is watching videos on sites like YouTube and nearly 34% of your target market is sharing those videos with family and friends through email and on sites like Facebook (2009 stats).

"I have been working with Eric Robbins for almost a year, now, utilizing his very creative video tours and photo montages in the marketing of my real estate listings...I have had excellent results with attracting attention to my listings by potential buyers who search the internet for homes. In fact, the buyer who recently purchased one of my listings saw this home for the first time on YouTube. He called his agent (who had not shown the property), asked to see it, and quickly wrote an offer...Photo tours are so simple to do and easy to implement. My sellers love the idea and so do the buyers." -Mary Robbins, Empire Realty Associates
