"Dear Jon, What else can I say but thank you. I am so glad I took your advise to add real estate virtual tours to my 2 listings that had not sold in over a year. In less than a month of adding virtual tours to these 2 listings, I have sold them both. The 2 buyers had both taken the real estate virtual tours and clearly stated it was the virtual home tour that had encouraged them to visit the properties. I am looking forward to working again with you in the future. Please also pass on my thanks to your Photographer, KellyAnn who was a pleasure to meet. Thank you"

A tour of virtual realty
Real estate firms utilize technology to sell homes
By CAROL DeMARE, Staff writer
First published: Sunday, March 26, 2006

As one real estate agent put it, offering an online tour of a home for sale is like having an open house 24 hours a day. It's now common in real estate sales to offer the real estate virtual home tour : a chance to see a property for sale via a home computer. Buyers access the tour via an agency's Web site, where a full floor-to-ceiling view of several rooms is available; many e-tours also include the outside of the property and a look at the neighborhood.

Use videos to sell real estate
Brett Slattery column

Seventy percent of all buyers begin their real estate shopping on the Internet. Coincidentally, 70 percent of all people are visual, meaning they need to see something before they can visualize it.

This highlights the often overlooked power of real estate virtual home tours.

Here's a good example. The other day, a woman called me from Connecticut to tell me she is determined to buy a waterfront home I just listed. I asked her how she heard about it. She said she discovered it while surfing the MLS.

I asked her if she had seen the virtual tour. "I can't pull myself away from it," she said. Her excitement made it clear the virtual tour had mesmerized her.

Of course, it wasn't the real estate virtual home tour that mesmerized her. It was the property itself. The virtual tour simply delivered the experience of being there. In this case, the virtual tour included 12 streaming videos that enabled her to sit on the dock and watch the sparkling water while listening to the rustle of palm leaves, birds singing, and bald eagles soaring overhead.

Sarasota Realtor Hannerle Moore sees growing interest from Naples

Q: How difficult is it to sell high-end properties in Sarasota? How long does it take?

A: I believe it takes real talent and finesse to sell high-end properties successfully. It takes a strong agent who will showcase the property to the seller's advantage with a comprehensive marketing and advertising plan that combines sophisticated Internet marketing with reliable techniques like professional photography, full-color brochures, direct mailings and print advertising.

I believe that any seller should demand specifics from agents they are interviewing. Are they getting a full-color brochure, a real estate virtual home tour (these are not created equally) and Internet presence? They should ask about print advertising and about what national and international efforts are being used.

And they shouldn't just take the agent's word; they should evaluate samples of previous efforts and get a marketing plan in writing with commitments.

A property that is in the $5 million-plus dollar range can take up to 12 to 18 months to sell. When you get into that price range there are so many choices as far as architecture and design choices, so you need just the right buyer to come through the property and love what that particular homeowner has done.

Real Estate Marketing News

As more and more potential home buyers start their search for real estate on the internet - reassessing how you spend your marketing budget in 2007 is probably the wisest move you can take.

Continuing to use traditional newspaper and magazine advertising has the following negative aspects:

Newspaper and magazine advertising only lasts the life cycle of the magazine or newspaper - usually only 7 days
To ensure you reach a potential buyer you need to advertise in all magazines and newspapers serving your area
Theses magazines regularly sit side by side in diners, supermarkets and stores
Potentail buyers do not see your adertising unless they visit your town, which is no longer how the home buying process starts
85% of homebuyers NOW start their search for real estate on line and newspaper and magazine advertising fails to reach these potential buyers
This form of advertising is extremely expensive and only allows you to display 1 small picture of your listing which is rarley enough to motivate a potential buyer to visit the property

So whats the solution?

To answer this it is best to look at how potential buyers search on the internet and then look at your options for reaching these potential buyers

Potential buyers start their search in 1 of 2 ways:

On realtor.com - the nations busiest real estate web site
By using a search engine e.g. google and typing a search for "town name" real estate

1) On realtor.com - the nations busiest real estate web site

Ensuring your listing stands out on realtor.com is NOW essential - and there are 2 ways you can do this

By becoming a showcase member - which allows you to add multiple pictures, a full description of your listing, links to your web site and email and displays your contact information . These listings are highlighted with a yellow box round them
Negative - there is a monthly fee to be a showcase member and how many visitors to Realtor.com now choose to view listings with multiple pictures first is unclear
By adding a real estate virtual home tour to your listing - "Featured Tour"- allowing multiple pictures, full contact information, links to your web site and email and creates the perfect open house 24hrs a day"
- Fact - 8/10 visitors to Realtor.com view listings with Featured Tours 1st, which if your listing is in a town with say 500 listings may move your listing from page 40 to page 1
- On average listings with Featured Tours are seen 40% more than those without
- Featured tours continue to market your listings until sold unlike newspaper advertising which only lasts a week
- tatistics quoted are for 2005 - as more and more internet users have high speed internet access - this % will continue to increase

2) By using a search engine e.g. google and typing a search for "town name" real estate

For example in 2006 - there were 80345 for Cape May NJ Real Estate and 17531 for Cape May Real Estate - total searches - 97876 on Google, Yahoo and MSN

If your web site does not appear on Page 1 of the search results you are missing out on all these potential customers

The solution!

There are 2 options to ensure your web site appears at the top of search engines -

Search Engine Optimization - the process of overhauling your web site to target it for certain search engine terms
* This is by far the best way as once achieved there is no cost per visitor to your web site
* This can take time to achieve, particulalrly on Google which rates web sites on how many web sites link to your web site and the process of building incoming links is both time consuming and expensive if you choose to buy incoming links
* When choosing a search engine optimization company ask to see examples of web sites that have Top 10 listings and not just for obscure search terms!

Paid Advertising using a solution e.g. google adwords and overture for Yahoo
The key advatnage with this form of advertising is you can see results within 24hrs or sooner
The 2 major negative sare 1) The Cost per click is constantly rising - the average real estate click costs approximately $1.50 and 2) Click Freud is a mjaor issue - it is estimated that about 40% of clicks are freudulent

Realizing the way people now start for real estate has changed and taking steps to adjust your marketing budget to reflect this should help you ensure 2007 is a successful year
