Video equipment and editing tools have become more popular along with Internet sites like YouTube, Metacafe, and Revver. The equipment is smaller making it easier to carry and have ready for filming. That’s good for family or entertainment but for a busy real estate agent the camera is something that can get mis-placed and as for having the time to edit and produce a video well that’s too much to ask.

I use a high quality Sony camcorder with an additional wide angle Carl Zeiss lens to capture the exterior and interiors with clarity. It has full HD capability and I record the videos in HD to have the best source quality for producing in home DVDs of the video tours as well as for use on the Internet.

To get the smooth walking shots I use a camera steadying device improving the flow of the video throughout the tour. I made this device and tested it on some regular home footage. The difference was amazing and I hope you see that too in the sample video footage.

All of this means you, the real estate agent, don’t need to worry about getting the video equipment together and put the time aside to create a compelling video tour let alone edit the footage and apply the branding and transitions.

Call Sean to arrange your innovative video tour today.

Here are examples of the in home videos I’ve produced. These samples show the simple yet effective walk through filming technique that will help prospective buyers learn more about your listings and feel the depth of the property as if they are walking through themselves.

Video online is now often seen as a requirement for most services because it enhances the viewers pleasure and shows a little more about the offering. The success of online video services like YouTube has bought about an increase in online viewing be it a funny story or happening, an instructional video for a particular task through to advertising services or products in a unique way. Real estate is no different and this natural expansion of video is now sweeping through real estate with all the online search sites offering links to videos of the property listing.

For consumers who are researching their next property purchase no special software is needed to view the in-home videos, it’s all handled by the Internet browser making it very easy to view and review.

The use of video as a complimentary marketing tool for your real estate listings is a logical extension to a marketing plan beneficial to the seller and the prospective buyers. Sellers get the maximum benefit from the video tour with exposure they might not have had previously.

Prospective buyers are doing so much more research online and property data along with pictures has been favorite in the past but now if a property listing doesn’t have a video link the prospect can skip onto the next property.

Overall, in home video tours of property listings enables the real estate agent to:

• Communicate the listing effectively
• Innovate for the seller
