It appears as if everyone is looking for real estate online these days.  Traffic to real estate websites is soaring. Visitors to ViewThisHome.com are not only visiting the site but staying for lengthy time periods to view videos.   Now is a great time start learning how to video your properties.   There is much discussion on transparency in the real estate industry.  Creating video of your properties will add an element of trasparency for your online buyers.  They can now see the home as they would if they were there.  Show them the surrounding neighborhood and all of the ammenities offered.  You have the traffic online,  just make sure you have the right presence!  Check out this interesting interview with Trulia's CEO regarding a surge in online traffic to real estate websites:

 

Keller Williams Family Reunion Gets "Techie"!

We just returned from another seven hour road trip down to Orlando. This time, we were vendors at the Keller Williams Family Reunion. What a lively bunch these agents were! They don’t mess around when it comes to mixing fun with work. It was quite entertaining to see the agents networking in feather boas and Mardi Gras beads! I was glad to see such enthusiasm about our website as there was definitely a technology buzz at the show. Ready or not, technology is here to stay for marketing and selling real estate. Here is a company that I found to be extremely interesting and beneficial to realtors:

This amazing booth drew me right in with their flashy orange and gray color scheme and classy name (pronounce like you say “elite”). This company offers a solution for making virtual tours that create compelling panoramic views. Previsite is a web-based virtual tour software solution.  The solution includes a photography kit and unlimited access to the online platform, allowing you to create your online virtual tours in minutes. The camera has a neat fisheye lens that allows you to capture the whole room, but when you create your tour, it magically flattens out the picture! The kit is cost effective at $150. To create your virtual tours the fee is $29.99 a month. Why not get the camera and upload your virtual tours created with this nifty camera to ViewThisHome.com for FREE?!
I’m always searching for products that will benefit the agent and that will coordinate well with the services on our website. There are so many great products and websites that you can be using to market your properties. It is important to stay ahead of the competition by staying with the technology advancements available.
We will be syndicating with Visual Tour soon, so when you create your virtual tour you can elect to have the tour on ViewThisHome.com too! Stay tuned for this exciting partnership.
