Saving you and your clients money is job one for everyone. It promotes you in the eyes of your clients and their friends and family and it streamlines your operations and your budget.
There are plenty of tools and ideas out there that enable you to reach and excite potential customers. The key for me is what will truly grab a client’s attention and keep them riveted long enough to want to learn more.
In our age of constant access to television and movies via numerous online distributors (Hulu and Netflix are the most well-known as is iTunes) along with a long history of television and movie consumption, video is one of the top draws for people online.
The value of online video is that it lowers barriers and easily introduces concepts and products, especially something emotional and exciting like homes and property. By enabling a visual walk-through of a property, you connect people to your listings in an emotional and real way even before they set foot in the door.
There are other great reasons to use video:
Search engine rankings go up rapidly when using live videos!
Why? Videos keep people on your site longer, and Google is ranking sites that are rich with multimedia content far higher than those without. Videos are now a MUST for any business concerned with SEO (search engine optimization), conversion rates and brand identification.
Save you and your client’s money on gas by cutting driving in HALF using live video walk-through tours.
How? Just make sure your prospects have watched your live video walkthrough tour before you make an appointment to show them your listing. You'll find that will close your deals in half the number of showings this way, saving gas, time and protecting the environment.
One thing you should know is these are NOT "real estate virtual tours"! (Live Video Walk-Through)
A virtual tour is nothing more than a series of photos stitched together with titles and a sound track, while live VIDEO TOURS will be video walk through of your property listing just like walking through an open house.
Clients can use their iPhone or iPads and other Smart Phones to view these videos.
Videos can be viewed on electronic devices such as iPads, iPhones, and other mobile tech devices by using QR codes, saving clients time and money that allows them to make decisions on a house from the comfort of their own home.
When you use video tours, and upload them on YouTube, MLS, realtor.com you can link these videos on Craigslist, embed the videos on Facebook and play the videos on your real estate website.
I hope this information has been helpful and I would love to hear about your thoughts and experiences with video.
