New Video Listings!

I just added my first video listing to my website. I am so excited! In my opinion, photos and media are crucial to successfully marketing real estate. Most good agents have great pictures of their properties. Some use the virtual tours. I have never felt like the virtual tours were all that great. Some people love them and they do have a place in real estate. For me individually, it just never seemed like it had the intended effect. But I do believe in the power of the video listing. There are television shows on cable channels where agents can advertise their properties in 30 second "listings" with still pictures, fluffy words, and jazz in the background. There are even some shows that are more loose and informal. The challenge is that after a while, you are still blending in with every other agent and your seller's property gets lost. Again, it is a tool that has a place and we use it. But, having a video listing that can be introduced into the "electronic conversation" as I like to say, and targeted to people who have some interest in a seller's home, rather than hoping they see it on channel fifty something, is a very powerful tool. Please let me know what you think. I am excited about your feedback for possible uses of the video listings. For example, I could offer them as a service for people relocating. That type of thing. Our first one is done and I see alot of room for improvement. However, one of my mentors told me once to not let perfect stand in the way of better. I hope you enjoy!
