Online Video in the Real Estate Industry

Miami Beach, FL (PRWEB) November 6, 2007 -- Why would you want to include a video tour in your home marketing efforts? Better asked, why wouldn't you? Nowadays, buyers don't even look at online listings if they don't include a video tour. Did you know that?

Fizber.com, a real estate website featuring homes for sale by owner (http://www.fizber.com/fsbo-data-base/index.html), announces the launch of a real estate videographer directory (http://videographers.fizber.com/) created in order to assist property owners get a professionally produced video and help home listings gain additional Internet exposure.

With streaming video now becoming the norm on the Web, many home owners are reaching out to an ever-growing population of Internet buyers by posting video of their property listings online. They are a fresh, creative way to get the message out, give prospects a feel for the properties and generate interest in physical visits. Video tours are a natural extension of the traditional way of marketing homes. Some sellers do their own video production, while others employ a professional videographer. Fizber.com visitors can now search for a licensed videographer by address or ZIP code.

On-line video tours offer prospective customers a better visual display of real estate listings. From homebuyers' perspective, video also offers the ultimate 'virtual tour' experience and a much better sense of what the home and neighborhood is like. This is especially important for out-of-town buyers who can now feel like they are actually there.

"Buyers want to know exactly how it would be to live in a place: how does it navigate, where is the master bedroom in relation to the electric garage door, etc.," says Julia Foster, PR Manager for Fizber.com. "Home sellers who post a video tour of their property online have more chances to succeed in capturing the attention of the growing number of Internet-savvy buyers. Houses with video tours get more attention from buyers... that means they sell faster!"

"Home owners often ask us whether they should turn to a videographer to shoot a video tour of the property for sale", says Foster. "My answer is consistently "if you can afford to hire to a videographer, I think it's a great idea".
