How is a video tour compared to a virtual tour?

Traditional photo virtual tours are created with a 360 degree warped and elongated photos that have to be viewed with custom software and operated with multiple clicks. A visitor having to click an average of 45 times is typical to view the property with a photo tour. Photo tours cannot be enlarged for viewing and do not contain descriptions of the property thus creating a very frustrating experience for your prospective buyers.

For an agent to produce a virtual photo tour, a photographer needs to be hired using a custom camera lens and that photographer need to be scheduled to take photos at your site. For a Luxury Home Video Showcase tour just a standard video camera is all that is needed and in a few minutes you have your virtual video tour. Easily do by yourself and save lots of time and money!

Think about your prospective buyers viewing a user friendly luxury property mini movie tour with ease from Luxury Home Video Showcase!

Helpful tips to help sell your listings with video

Any video camera will work, even a cell phone, but remember having a good clear video will help sell your property. Keep your video to 4 to 7 minutes, enough to showcase your listing. The larger the listing more time may be required to do it justice, but for the most part, longer videos don’t help sell. Use narration, polls showed that adding narration to the video really adds to the video tour itself by pointing out selling features that potential buyers miss with photo tours. Buyers don’t care about background music, they want to know about the property. Be creative, but honest in selling your property. Let them know of any extras you are willing to do, offering financing, closing costs and others which will make the property more attractive.
