You're GREAT RTV!

First and foremost, the personal attention from the core staff is tantamount to none. If RTV were a hotel, it would be featured in every issue of Hotel Business Magazine in the foreseeable future for its exceptional service.

I was surprised and very pleased by the continued effort of RTV to make working with them hassle free. The prompt email responses and immediate problem solving phone calls almost makes having an issue worth it just to get it resolved. I do enjoy being associated with RTV and I would/do recommend their services to anyone.

Virtual Tour Reporting System Offers the Valuable Feedback

What is a virtual tour reporting system?



The Exposure Elements virtual tour reporting system is an invaluable weekly reporting tool for real estate agents and businesses that gauges the activity of the property virtual tour. It provides several benefits that position the reporting system as a must have tool when selling or sharing a property with the public as it reports on a) the number of visits to the virtual tour by day during the previous week, b) the number of visits to the virtual tour by week for the previous weeks of the tour up to 10 weeks, c) where the visitors are coming from, and d) a summary of the most viewed images of the virtual tour.
 
The virtual tour report is packaged as a colorful, graphical page that is emailed from Exposure Elements to you and your clients each Monday. The report includes all of your information and even space for a logo or image should you want to share it with a business partner or listing client.

What does a virtual tour reporting system do and how does it add value to a business?

As a virtual tour business owner with a web presence, it is very important to be able to track marketing effort delivery to obtain the best results. With your Exposure Elements weekly traffic report you can now do that easier than ever before. How many marketing tools come with this kind of results validation? If you have business partners that you are featuring in the report we can even send the report off to your partner on your behalf with your logo on the report. This is the way that partners want to be treated.

How does it add value to a Realtor?
These statistics can also provide the Realtor with valuable insights into how listings are being viewed by visitors and what marketing efforts are working the best to bring qualified buyers to your clients. The virtual tour hit report shows the client, in clear data, when it is time to reduce the price, if necessary, without having to be the direct bearer of bad news. With this information in the client's hand the realtor can focus on the strategy of the sale rather than how to present difficult news to the client! In the end, the Realtor also sees statistical insights into buyer behavior that he can't get anywhere else. When you are armed with this kind of data you have compelling and assured information that you can share on listing presentations which surely means more listing wins.

How does it add value to a home seller?
Selling agent Realtors are constantly challenged with proving value to their listing clients. The Exposure Elements virtual tour reporting system is the ideal tool to build the confidence of their clients. Regular reports give the seller the weekly assurance that their listing has interest and activity. With diligent cross marketing efforts to all the marketing programs driven by the Realtor these reports can show the kind of property interest that will keep your client emotionally involved with you through the entire sales process. Weekly reports ensure that your client is involved, informed and up to date!

What does this mean?
Simply put, this kind of reporting system is extremely valuable to all parties that are involved with the production of a virtual tour. With a nominal cost and weekly delivery everyone involved with the virtual tour is kept informed. Success and interest can be continuously measured providing a barometer of interest for the whole marketing program associated with the virtual tour. Exposure Elements business virtual tours include the weekly hit report and Realtors can get this service for just $10 for the life of the listing.

Are good photographs key to selling real estate online?

You must have been familiar with the proverb “a picture's worth more than a thousand words”. Photos, when incorporated in websites or newspapers change the total worth of the news or the content as visitors or readers feel more interested in reading something when it is supported by an image. Similarly, if you have a real estate website and you want to boost the sales of your company online, you should integrate some good photographs that are professionally presented by way of a 360 virtual tour or any interactive presentation that brands you together with the home.

If things look shabby and unprofessional, not only will the buyers find the property to be unappealing, but it will also associate you and your company with unprofessionalism. As the real estate buyers begin to search and narrow down their search, the key enticing element is certainly real estate photographs and online virtual tour player.

The listings that you have in your website might have to be visually enticing and also of superior quality. The size of the photo that is being used in your real estate website is very important. The shots should be large to display the details of the room easily be visible. On the other hand, while it should show the intricate details of the room, it must also be small enough so that it gets loaded within few seconds. It is often seen that online visitors waver away from the websites that have a high loading time. The internet users are usually accustomed with pictures getting clear within seconds and if your real estate website is not able to do that, you may lose traffic very soon.

The second factor that you need to keep in mind is to maintain professionalism as much as possible when you put photographs on your real estate website. There are many good digital cameras that can perform this job well. You must invest your dollars in getting yourself a good digital camera and use the camera with wide angle lens. Get a hot shoe attachment as this will work best while shooting the pictures of your real estate photo. Now that you have the best camera to take your real estate photograph, you have to determine the purpose of adding the photo.

Sometimes, staging rooms with the best things can often be helpful to grab the attention of the highest number of eyeballs but you must take care that you do not focus all attention to the furniture or the decoration of the house. Focus more on the architecture, design and space of the room. Remember that the front exterior shot is the most important featured image of your real estate website. Make sure that the exterior shot is strong enough so that it communicates in a better way to the online visitors and gives them a clear idea of what they're going to purchase. Therefore, real estate photography is of utmost importance if you have a website that caters to the needs of the prospective homebuyers. Follow the tips mentioned above so that you can grab the awareness of most online visitors and thereby boost profit.

Forward Thinking and Staying Positive

Greetings fellow RTV Dealers and family. It's been almost 10 weeks since you've heard from your Nova Scotia virtual tour dealer, but I think of you often and know you're "with me".

I'd like to share a personal story with you. A story of hope, change and strength. I share this to motivate you, to inspire you and to remind you - to never give up.

10 weeks ago on Sunday night we had a house fire at our home. My right hand and leg were burned, trying to put the fire out. Most of you know, I prepare a monthly real estate magazine and my deadline to the printer was the following day. The printer was sympathetic and accommodating providing me with 5 extra days to submit my files. I finished my magazine in 3 days with one hand.

Thankfully, my daughter was not home at the time, but for the next 3 weeks she helped dress me, bathe me and sat by my side during numerous dressing changes. She has amazing strength.

Less than 4 weeks after the fire my fiance died suddenly and unexpectedly. Again I was at deadline time with my magazine. Again the printer accommodated offering extra time, which I did not take. Work was my solace, my comfort. I kept putting one foot in front of the other, concentrating on my responsibilities, refusing to let grief get the better of me.

My family and friends (including Jason) have been there offering support, comfort and understanding. A part of me would like to say "I couldn't have got through this without them" but… in my heart I believe, that even if I had been completely alone - I could have. Strength is a choice I make every day.

We get to go home in a couple of weeks and there will be many changes. The house looks different, Shannon won't be there and as uncomfortable as hotel living has been, I believe the reality will be inevitable once we finally step through those doors. I'm ready for that.

I spend my days (and half the night) working, and when I'm not, I'm reading/researching and considering new goals and ambitions.  I follow the RTV blog and the Facebook page, and although I don't have high speed to enjoy the webinars I look so forward to all the exciting changes in virtual tour software available and coming with RTV.

When written in Chinese the word 'crisis' is composed of two characters - one represents danger and the other represents opportunity.

Remember RTV family, strength, perseverance and positive attitude is a CHOICE. No matter what happens - put one foot in front of the other, keep moving forward and look for the opportunities. 2012 is just around the corner and I have BIG plans, goals to accomplish and dreams to realize.

An RTV Testimonial

When I decided to launch my virtual tour photography business the first action I took was to look for a 360 tour company who could provide the technical and marketing support I knew I needed. I must say I did an excellent job in selecting RTV.

The support staff, especially Ben Knor has provided service far beyond my expectations; and I expect a lot!! Every question I posed was responded to in clearly, concisely, and in most instances in less than 24 hours. Ben's patience with my never ending questions was incredible. RTV provides an abundance of technical and brilliant looking marketing materials and has an amazing support team that has been extremely helpful to me in improving my visibility and my photographic techniques.

There is not another virtual tour company out there that provides the kind of support I have been given. To say "I highly recommend RTV" seems like a gross understatement.

Houston Virtual Tour Testimonial

Plaisance Photography became a full service dealer of RTV, Inc. after several moths of working in the real estate photography business alone. Since partnering with RTV in 2009 I have seen my virtual tour business grow and expand in a way that I could have never accomplished without RTV's virtual tour software, extended education, amazing support, leads, and national accounts.

Their virtual tour software is truly the most professional and attractive looking presentation I have seen in this industry and the training and support offered by the company is amazing. Any other virtual tour company will provide you with training on how to use their equipment and software but RTV actually provides training and support on every aspect of growing and running a successful Virtual Tour Company. If you are looking to partner with a Virtual Tour Company to help you grow your photography business I encourage you to join the RTV team. You will be so glad you did!!

Making Lemonade - The Turn Around

Hello RTV. We all know that every once in awhile we’re going to run into a realtor that gives us a hard time based on the price of our virtual tours.  These same people are probably selling million dollar homes and driving around in a 60K vehicle, but drive you nuts about a one to two hundred dollar marketing tool. What’s up with that?  Well remember folks, people buy based on EMOTION.  Let’s talk about a technique that Jim Blue uses to turn the tables on them.

One thing that Jim likes to do at a realtors office is ask these same people what other forms of advertising they’re doing.  Most of them will always point to print forms of advertising.  When they do Jim has an open door to show them how much money they are throwing away on these other forms of advertisement.  It’s simple math at this point.  Jim points out that classified ads cost A LOT on a per-day breakdown (like usually $100 for 3 days of local advertising), then he breaks it down to cost per day vs. cost per day for 365 days of internet worldwide exposure.  When he’s done with that part he pulls up a hit report for one of our elegant looking HD 360 virtual tours and shows the traffic report. When this is up on the screen Jim asks them how many showings the ad brought in and also points out how nice it is to send this hit report to the seller each week.  At this point the realtor begins thinking and scratching their head a bit.

Jim then goes back to the HD virtual tour and points out that 360 virtual tours can also work as excellent lead generators for realtors. “Wow honey look at what Joe Realtor did for the Smith’s house down the road! Look at how amazing these photos are! Maybe we should call up Joe” When is the last time you ever heard of someone looking at a classified ad and saying, “Wow! Now that’s an awesome marketing tool!”  Jim tells them that for the cost of one three day classified ad he can market their property on hundreds of websites until the listing has sold. With the help of our Exposure Engine of course!

Most of the time the turn-around comes when Jim asks them if their using any real estate books.  Many of them state that they are and admit to paying around $200-$500 per full color page ad.  Here is where you point out again that the virtual tour never expires, while the book will have a shelf-life of a month or so depending on publication and area.  NAR pointed out last year that nearly everyone is starting their search online so why on earth would you put the majority of your marketing efforts per home offline? You’ll find that if you show these realtors how they can use their marketing dollars MORE WISELY to appeal to more buyers in all phases of the active ‘shopping process’ you will turn these price gripers into good lifetime customers. After all…they just want to save precious marketing dollars!

New From RTV Marketing

This Fall at RTV our marketing team brings you two nice pieces you might consider using.  Our first piece is a great piece for you to leave at a home after you finish your virtual tour. This finalized piece could be used in lieu of a home seller CD that you mail out after your photo shoot.  The leave behind uses fun colors and plugs several other services the home seller might brag about to a friend or neighbor also selling a home.  Finally it is much less expensive than sending a tour CD through the mail.  Enjoy this one RTV!

Secondly we have for you a piece that showcases our new Image Delivery Engine. This is a great little piece for you to roll out here just before we take the new RTV RealTour Fusion system live. If you're planning on offering your HD images from the virtual tour to your customers at no additional charge download this piece, customize and distribute.

Enjoy the new marketing materials and get ready for our new system everyone!  Login now to http://www.rockpointemarketing.com and snag your materials!

Working From Home - Is this the best use of my time?

We travel coast to coast with our virtual tour business so we have developed a finely tuned system for living on the road. There is a strange phenomenon that we have noticed -- when we are on the road, we get more work done, have more balance in our lives and make as much if not more money. When we are living out of suitcases and our car, we are forced to be methodical with our stuff and our time.

The time constraints of traveling somehow help us to streamline our work flow. Think about it...there’s no laundry to do, no cleaning, no big cooking, no making the bed or taking out the trash. We have no DVR on the road so we are forced to watch what’s on TV or turn it off.  Is it any wonder that we are giving up our apartment in 4 months so that we can travel full time?

When we are at home, it’s a different story. We are night owls so we do much of our work late at night. We usually shut our computers off around 10 or 11 pm and watch a little TV (well either a little TV or four episodes of Law and Order Special Victims Unit from our DVR).   I will set up in the office and then run clean the kitchen real quick before I start making calls. Well that and throw in a load of laundry...and put dinner in the crock pot. I eventually get to the computer but before I open SalesForce and my work email, I check Facebook one more time...well that and research Active.com to see when the next triathlon is...and read a few articles about how to train for a marathon that I will probably never run. On and on it goes until it’s noon and everyone I want to talk to is at lunch.

The key question I have to ask myself every day is simple...Is what I am doing the best use of my time right now? Notice the question was not, is this important but is this the best use of this particular moment in time. In sales, not every moment in time has the same value.

Our Quincy, IL virtual tour business is aimed at providing high quality 360º virtual tours for businesses. Business owners have a strange tendency to be available during business hours only so that means that my sweet spot for catching a decision maker is somewhere between 10:00 and 3:00. I may get a few people earlier but chances they are doing their morning running around just like me. I may get some people after 3:00 but I have found that late afternoons generally find people running around to finish before the end of the day. With a finite set of prime hours, I have to make sure that I am doing the activities during those hours that will yield the greatest results/income.

It would be awesome if our phones rang off the hook with people wanting to order virtual tours but for now anyway, I have to prospect for new business. As the sales and marketing person for Vision Quest Virtual Tours, those prime daytime hours are for two things...Phone Time and Face Time. I will blog later about maximizing face time but for now let’s look at phone time.

Phone Time

To maximize my phone time, I need to sit down the day before and create a checklist so that I can start immediately and stay on task during the day. I use SalesForce as my contact management system and wish I was better at putting everything in there ahead of time but I work better with an old fashioned checklist. I put my calls on a legal pad that I set by my desk and I check off the boxes as I complete the task. Whatever works for you is fine but having a to-do list is vital to getting things done for me.

To be most efficient, I put the business name, contact person, website and phone number of the person I am to call right on my checklist. Anytime I make a phone call to a business, I pull up their website so I can be looking at it while I talk to them. Creating the list the night before familiarizes me with their website and expedites the time it takes for me to navigate it the next day.  Again, working from Sales Force might be more efficient but I have to do what works best for me! 

There is so much that I can do outside of those prime hours so I keep a sticky note near my computer with the question, “Is what I’m doing right now the very best use of my time?” If I find myself really distracted, then I put a reminder in my computer to pop up every hour or two that asks that question. If I am really not seeing the results I want in my sales, then I will examine my time even deeper.

As with everything else, you can’t expect what you don’t inspect so I learned a great way to be accountable for my time. I print out a daily calendar with 30 minute intervals for my prime hours. I write down what I think I can and should accomplish during the day. I then set a timer to go off every 30 minutes and when it dings, I write down what I was doing during the previous 30 minute period. This really forces me to examine how I am using my time and identify the rabbit holes that distract me .

Instead of getting to the end of the day and wondering where the time went, a little planning and prioritizing the night before can really work wonders to your bottom line. Because after all, when you are a business owner, you aren’t paid for how much you do, you are paid for how much you sell.

Vision Quest Virtual Tours provides 360º tours for businesses in the fields of healthcare, hospitality and education. We offer an unsurpassed commitment to helping businesses provide the big picture to their customers. To learn more about starting a virtual tour business or to schedule a tour, call us below!

RTV HD V-Slides Now Publish to Dealer Sites

Slideshows will now automatically feed into your virtual tour websites!

You asked for it, so here it is! Of course this only applies to sites that have already been upgraded with the Dealer Site 2.0 Upgrade that came out in February, 2011. If you haven't yet asked for this popular upgrade, what are you waiting for? Visit http://dealers.realtourvision.com today and let us know!

Beginning Monday, any slideshows that you have shot will now import into your site's tour gallery, just as your tours do. Please note this important condition though. If you have shot a tour AND a slideshow for a single property, that slideshow will not import as a separate item. It will remain as a click-through link from the virtual tour only. Only "stand-alone" slideshows (not associated with a virtual tour) will automatically feed in. If you have shot many "stand-alone" slideshows, this will result in a bulk addition to your site's tour gallery.

So some time during the day on Monday, any "stand-alone" slideshows that you have NOT manually added to your tour gallery will then import into your gallery. The feed will detect if the slideshow already exists by manual entry in your gallery. If it does not, the feed will then add it.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at dealersite@realtourvision.com

Thanks,

Should you have a virtual tour on EVERY LISTING????

Should you have Virtual Tour on every listing?

A Realtor recently mentioned to me that they had a new listing but it was just a small, nothing special home; implying that it was not worth having professional pictures done for it. I have heard hints of this from other Realtors as well which got me to thinking, why take the listing if you’re not going to employ the best marketing tools available? Why would you not use the marketing tools that would give your listing the largest market exposure? Do you really want to sell the home or just sit on it?

If 80% of all home buyers start their search online doesn’t it behoove you to showcase your listing in its best possible light utilizing an on-line professional Virtual Tour?

As a Realtor, shouldn’t you treat every home you list from the largest mansion to the smallest condo the same? How as a Realtor, do you ethically tell your client that their home is just not worth marketing with a Professional Virtual Tour?

As far a marketing goes, DragonFly 360 ,   gives you the best bang for your buck. At just pennies a day, the cost of a virtual tour is way less then a Classified ad and any other print ad with recurring fees. You only pay once for a Virtual Tour, it never expires.  

Remember, first impressions count, especially where your property listing is concerned. DragonFly 360 Imaging understands this notion. We appreciate that appearance is key when selling property and are aware that a perfectly photographed home will ultimately attract an assortment of serious buyers. This is why we make sure everything is perfect before we take the shot.  

 A Professional 360 Virtual Tour from DragonFly 360 Imaging with its available Syndication services will give your listing Maximum Exposure and allow buyers to have instant access to multiple color photographs, Virtual tours, Slide Shows, brochures, hit reports , a  tour gallery of all of your Tours, location maps, your website, mortgage information and Social Networking buttons. (IE: FaceBook, Twitter, LinkedIn etc.)

With so many facts and details about the property in the Tour, it’s almost as if they are inside the property-and best of all, this information is available at the click of a mouse and available on-line acting as a 24/7 open house.

Conveniently, the tour can be downloaded & shared as well as a full color brochure printed right from the tour. This means that serious buyers can examine different properties from the comfort of their home and if they actually decide to view a property, they already have a solid knowledge of its location and general appeal. Meanwhile sellers can feel safe in the knowledge that their properties are being marketed in the best possible way and in the best possible light.

As you know, every seller thinks their house is a Castle and the best in the neighborhood. Shouldn’t you treat it as such?  DragonFly 360 Imaging is your premiere provider for Albuquerque Virtual Tours.
