It's confusing, isn’t it? You see a button indicating a virtual tour and you click on it hoping to see more of the property, only to find the same 6 photos posted to your mls are rotating across your screen. What is the difference between a virtual tour, a slideshow, and a video?
True virtual tours are declining in popularity. They are really a method of taking photos and processing them in a way that pans around the room, allowing a 360 degree view. These tours usually need to have interaction to play, meaning the viewer must click on buttons to see different rooms. Often distortion gives viewers a ‘fish-bowl’ view or curved walls and countertops, not allowing for a true sense of space. Virtual tours can usually only be added to listings via mls, fmls, realtor.com or agent sites.
Our iVideo is an entirely different story!
Full motion video moves the viewer through the house with attractive music selections and a professional voice describing the property. You start outside the home, move through the front door, and then flow throughout the house. iVideo allows for true viewing, no more virtual distortion. iVideo also walks viewers through the home, giving a true feel for the layout. Is there something important about the home that you just can’t see? That’s okay, the viewer can learn about it from the narration!
Tired of hearing sellers complain about the quality of their virtual tours? iVideo allows you to truly show the home without spending lots of gas money or invading the listing with tire kickers. 
All of that is pretty exciting stuff, but the really exciting part for you, the agent, is the availability, accessibility, and promotion available with video.
Virtual tours and most slideshows are limited by their format to exposure on a handful of real estate websites. BUT, turn that into a video, and WOW! You’ve just exposed your listing – and yourself – to an entire new universe of viewers!
Atlanta’s See Inside Homes publishes and promotes your iVideos for you! We post your iVideo on over 20 different video search sites, including YouTube, Yahoo!, Google, WellcomeMat, ActiveRain, and many more. Your name and city are included in meta-tags, which means that videos show up on Yahoo! and Google searches of your name, increasing your appeal to savvy buyers and sellers. Out of town buyers rely on you, the listing agent, to provide them with as much information as possible about your listing. iVideos are continually favorites with relo buyers.
What does this mean for you? Simple, you can walk into a listing presentation and present your marketing secret weapon – a See Inside Homes iProduction. A professional videographer will arrive at the listing and shoot the property and within 5 business days you’ll have a full motion video of the property and up to 25 still photos for marketing, as well as printable flyers, school reports, maps, and links to your website. We’ll post it to mls, fmls, realtor.com (non-showcase listings will cost an additional $25) as well as the 20 additional sites for you. Our job is to make you and your listing look great! You get the listing, we’ll take care of the rest!
