Virtual Tours for your Real Estate Marketing

I am sorry, a photo slide show with Kenny G on the clarinet is not a real estate video. The audio channel is 40% of the real video experience. The sound of your voice not scripted but one on one like the real tours you do are powerful. The walk through as you pull the buyer on the property approach, up the drive and show what you are looking at around the place. Then the one by one tour the house top to bottom shows how all the property puzzle pieces fit, flow, snap together. With drop ins of the schools are two blocks west, the hospital less than three blocks east.

A slide show regurgitates and wastes time trying to be artistic with the slice and dice and gyrating transitions. Of the same images they already scanned. Real video is 30 to 50 frames per second of life, real motion and not static images. You are at the property, beam me there Scotty. Not a still image shot, brought back from it to share.

Do genuine real estate videos, don't waste the sound. They save you, the buyer, seller so much precious time, gas, heart ache in the hide and seek to take a peek. No matter what hour, the weather, location of your buyer.

While I agree with Andrew that a walk thru video is more useful, sometimes we don't have access or time to do that.  In those cases, something is better then nothing and I would do a slideshow like you did.

Hi Kathy,

Great blog! If the virtual tour tells some kind of story it will be much more effective.
