A Little More on Video Hosting

The past two entries have been talking about the importance of getting into blogging and video. I intend to add podcasting to the list but that is for another time. I ran across this great site:Inman News said this about Zipvo: ZIPVO.com launched a year ago as a database of real estate videos accessible by ZIP Code or town. Realtors can upload videos to the site for free, embedding them in IDX-compliant MLS listings or in social networking sites like ActiveRain, Twitter, and Facebook. Making videos and photo tours embeddable and searchable is the key to helping consumers find them.

Why Video Listings?? Because IT'S AWESOME!!

Ok guys... this is the deal. It's time to start getting with the times and start thinking like a consumer instead of like a Realtor. As a consumer I would LOVE to see video listings... and I do not think I am alone. According to NAR, the average age of a homebuyer is 39. And since I am.. ahem... very close to this age bracket, I think I have a good idea of what the average Joe Consumer wants to see.

The sad thing is that there are agents that still do not do a virtual tour for every listing... and now we are talking about video. Yeah, Grandpa.. they have moving pictures now!

Talk about differentiating yourself from the competition!!!

DONT WAIT! Go out and buy a Flip Video Camera (about $120) and take videos of your listings.
Upload them to YOU TUBE, embed them into websites, blogs, REALTOR.COM(see last post)

ASTOUND YOUR FRIENDS! IMPRESS YOUR CLIENTS! LAP THE COMPETITION! ATTRACT MORE BUYERS!!

OK... So you are not sure how to do it. NO PROBLEM. Just Contact me and I will help!
