Save Gas Money! Order A Virtual Tour.

Services for Real Estate Pros with Listing Solutions

There is no question that recent gas prices have cut in to all of our earnings. As I write this blog, gas prices are at $3.64 per gallon. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? This is an expense that none of us could have prepared for but, here we are. Wouldn't it be great if your client purchased the first house that they saw? Wouldn't it be great if customers called you and said, "I have narrowed my search down to a couple of homes?" It can happen more often than you think.

80% of current buyers utilize the internet when searching for a home. Why not order a virtual tour today? On a typical day, more than five million people are taking virtual tours in cyberspace, up from roughly two million in 2004. Nearly 90% of internet searchers used a real estate professional, compared to 79% of non-internet users. The statistics definitely support the fact that the internet has and continues to change the way real estate is bought and sold in the United States. A virtual tour allows your customer to sell themselves on the house, before you spend endless hours and precious money on gas.

I look at it like this. People tell me gas is expensive and it may be so. Milk is about the same price as gas. There are may steps you need to take to produce gasoline and Wikipedia says this: "petroleum-derived liquid mixture consisting mostly of aliphatic hydrocarbons, enhanced with iso-octane or the aromatic hydrocarbons toluene and benzene to increase its octane rating, and is primarily used as fuel in internal combustion engines. Wow, sounds complicated! To get milk you just have to milk a cow?

I say milk is expensive!

Dave, I think Vt's have their place. But unfortunately people still have to feel, touch, and see the home before they buy. As for the gas it is high but it is a cost of doing business.

Jason & Deanna:

Yes, people do need to see a home before they buy - but they don't have to physically look at every one on the market.

They can "tour" the likely prospects in the comfort of their own home (of course, they wouldn't be wasting time at work looking at homes!) and narrow the field down to the ones they must see. Saves gas/time/money for the buyers and the realtor.

It also saves the owners from having people who are only marginally interested visting the home. Less clean up detail. The realtor gets internet hit stats (at least from those of us working with Real Tour Vision) so they can show the owner that people are looking at the home.
