Recently I have been getting more and more attention for the Video Tours that I have been putting together for my listings. When national real estate marketing blogs feature your work, it is a confirmation to keep doing what you are doing. I did not want to post this with the intent to “toot my own horn”, but rather remind those of you who have not had the chance to view them, the opportunity as well the explanation behind my reason for doing so.

I started doing actual video tours, because I felt that as a salesperson who sees the photos, listings, and visual tours for many properties on a daily basis - a real disconnection between the actual home and the marketing behind it. As a seller, you want your home to look the best and at the same time provide a true and real feeling for your home. As a buyer, you want to feel the flow before you step in the unit to see if it is in fact what you are looking for. On top of another feel of the property itself, the video is another avenue to attract buyers to the property being featured on more websites.

I still employ a professional real estate photographer to take the pictures of the listings, because they are experts at what they do and I could not emulate their work. Now I not only have professional photos and visual tours but also video tours which provide me a larger arsenal of marketing tools under my belt.

Check out two below and let me know what you think (make sure to watch in HQ!). Do you get a better or different feel for the property? Let me know in the comments!
