Video vs Virtual Tour: One works and the other no longer does!

It used to be that you took a few pics and listed a home on the MLS and it would sell.  While there are some homes that will sell this way, most homes require quite a bit more marketing to draw the appropriate attention required to get them sold.  So, in addition to putting the maximum 25 pics on the MLS, I always shoot a video tour rather than a virtual tour that simply re-posts all the pics that were already posted online.  I've spoken to buyers and they all agree that they shut down the virtual tours after the 2nd or 3rd picture is regurgitated.  The video is a walking/talking piece that helps to point out all the great things about your home. Nine of my last ten listings this year have been sold to buyers that fell in love with the home before they even got to see it in person.  For my most recent videos: www.798prospect.com www.6-rutgers.com
