video: Video to the rescue - 04/14/20 06:07 AM
We are in a time when sellers are wary of anyone coming into their home. Buyers aren't sure they want to be out and around looking at homes, either. This can really impact the ease with which Real Estate transactions get done. Because of this, the industry is turning more to virtual showing experiences, like increased use of video.
We at den Boer homes have been creating videos for every home we list since 2006. These are used on the MLS systems as virtual tours and also posted out on social media. For awhile we got fancy and featured intros by the … (3 comments)

video: Video used in listings - 12/08/19 06:30 AM

When listing a property, not only do I use a professional photographer, but I also do full motion video. In some cases, as above, I will also incorporate drone footage if the property lends itself to it. Why do we go to the extra trouble and expense? Simple. Your home deserves the best possible marketing we can produce to get your home sold.
If you are interested in what we can do for you, give us a call and let's talk. Enjoy the video.
 
Oh, by the way, the agent listed at the end and I work together on many marketing projects.

video: Let me say this again...and again... - 08/10/14 10:24 PM
Have you ever found yourself explaining something over and over again? I really like the personal one-on-one with clients answering their questions and all, but wouldn't it be nice to be able to get a group together and explain something just one time? Now you can. It's called video.
I am putting together a video library on topics that come up all the time in buying or selling a home. I expect to have quite a few of these 1 to 1 1/2 minute videos available for my clients. The first one is almost done and I look forward to sharing it … (7 comments)

video: It's tough making this look easy! - 06/03/14 08:28 AM
I spent half the day today working under lights trying not to look like an idiot. I think I managed that part, but I sure sounded like one! I worked in our in-house video studio trying to record short video clips that will be used by my buyer clients. It's hard for me to believe that I would have trouble talking about easy things like earnest money, inspections, appraisals and the like. I get that I am less fluent in orbital mechanics, but I do real estate every day!
As soon as we start recording my brain turns to mush. I … (7 comments)

video: My video sold a home! - 06/16/13 11:03 PM
I get asked occasionally if I believe my listing videos work. There are several answers to this question. First, the home owners love seeing the video of their home. Second, they show much more of the home than your basic slide show which normally puts the same pictures that are on the listing together with elevator music.
But the best answer is that it sells homes!
We were asked to list a home that we put a tenant in last year. At the time we shot a video of the home. Well, before we even listed the property, we found a … (65 comments)

video: New Video Intro - 11/09/11 12:25 AM
My team had great fun yesterday at our video shoot. We all got a chance to be video'd saying a short message. This will then be uploaded to the individual agents website as an introduction to their site. We also filmed a team video and shot team pictures. We have one agent who speaks 5 languages and we had her say hello in each language. Let me know what you think of the idea...

video: Texting while Buying! - 02/11/11 12:50 AM
Do you text while buying?
The ubiquitous cell phone has turned into a major data center device. We can now browse the web and a million other things while on our phone. What a fantastic thing for home buyers today. Our phones can now show us all homes for sale in an area around where we are standing. The can also retrieve information on those homes as you stand in front of it!
Prudential Georgia Realty and The Community Realty Group have rolled out texting on all listings. Now you can text a number listed on the for sale sign and … (2 comments)

video: Kodak Video Challenge Thank you! - 02/09/11 12:39 AM
I found out last night that my video of a listing I submitted for the Kodak Video Challenge tied for 3rd place! I was thrilled to be honored among the other great videos. I really believe that this is the year for Real Estate Videos. If you are not currently producing them, you should look in to it.
The other Realtors I talk to are afraid that these videos are too hard for them to do, or the equipment is too expensive. Well, I started with a Flip camera and Windows Movie Maker which came free on my computer. With just these 2 things, … (5 comments)
