Why would I want a Video of my property?

  • Video is the most effective form of marketing on the internet today.

Why does video work so well?

  • Video marketing is powerful, memorable and it sells.
  • Engage the viewer. Our videos allow you to give a personal, guided tour of a property using professional narration in the viewer’s own language, allowing you to engage the viewer and sell the best features of the property.
  • Video doesn’t distort the way that a photo panorama does. The proportions of the tour are more realistic.
    • Streaming video lets the viewer begin watching it without downloading the entire file first. This allows for faster view ability
    • Digital video is portable. You can link to it from almost anywhere on the internet, watch it on mobile phones, an ipad, or even burn it to a DVD.

Why do you host the videos on YouTube?

  • YouTube is the leader in online video, and the premier destination to watch and share original videos worldwide through a Web experience.

  • Definitely! We email you web size photographs when the video is on line. These are perfect for your current website marketing. We will then supply you with the high resolution photographs for your print materials.

Can I supply or modify the script?

  • Yes, you may supply to us the written script for the video or make any modifications to the script that we supply to you prior to our professional audio artists recording the audio track. The script should be no longer than 500 words.

What is the length of Video Tour?

  • The duration of the video is not set in stone. We will give the tour whatever time it needs to get a good feel of the property, however, we try to keep all videos to approximately 4-5 minutes. Studies have shown that attention span drops off for most viewers after this period of time.
