Marketing your home ‘online’ with Personalized Virtual Tours

mduncan — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 21:03:05 +0000

We have implemented a new Internet marketing strategy for our listings, a Personalized Virtual Tour.

So what is a Personalized Virtual Tour? Unlike many virtual tours that display pictures of the property with background music, we personally narrate each tour. We talk about the features of the home, the amenities of the neighborhood, and the additions and improvements that have been made to the home.

We believe these “personalized” virtual tours provide a method for buyers and their agents to connect with the home, and make it stand out and be memorable.

We make the personalized virtual tours available on the Internet through the home’s listing on the Multiple Listing System, our special web site at www.melindaduncanpodcast.com, You Tube, Craig’s List and iTunes as a video podcast that can be played on iPods.

To explain the benefits of the Personalized Virtual Tour we have produced a short video. Click the “Online Marketing” button located in the right margin to learn more about and see a sample of our Personalized Virtual Tour.

If you have questions about our Personalized Virtual Tour, give me a call and I would be happy to discuss the benefits with you.
