As a Sales Manager of a Real estate company, I know how important it is to have your listing noticed in the marketplace. Realtors have a really good tool to use.
Virtual Tours offer up a window of opportunity for to the seller, the buyer and also the Realtor. Video, stills or even the fish eye camera provide buyers with not just a snapshot of your home, but provide flow from room to room. When done correctly, and with fair to good quality photos or movies, buyers can get a much better perspective of the property so that they can choose which home they might want to see in person.
Although I'm not a Virtual Tour expert, I have done enough of these tours for my agents to know that they can be done at virtually no cost, and with proper staging look as though they have been done professionally. There are a variety of on line tour sites where you can create a really nice tour by doing the work yourself.
I know that not every house listed is Virtual Tour material at first, but most can be if a little effort is put into it. I'm amazed how many really beautiful homes have no tour visible to the buying public, especially now that Realtor.com offers a link from your local MLS for a small charge. Buyers today shop from their computers for just about everything, house buying is near the very top of the list. This is where most buyers start their search, so would'nt it make sense to go with a tour. Buy a good camera, do it yourself and enjoy the satisfaction of creating your own masterpiece. Your sellers and buyers would appreciate it.
