Does the Agent That Offers Video Marketing Have an Edge?
By WellcomeMat on Jan 1, 2008 in WellcomeMat
The Sellsius dudes asked this very question in a recent poll.
Being passionate about what we do, it is easy to get sucked into “the great video debate” with virtual tour and slide show vendors. It’s easy for us to get emotionally involved when discussing video with people that resist change with all they have. It’s also easy to see which way video is headed: every number we have have points video up and to the right. Is video more expensive/difficult than its counterparts? Yes..it should be. But, we have to get passed the scenario where we just stick video next to other types of presentations and ask “which is more expensive?” because the reality is that real estate pros that aren’t using video will soon begin to lose business to those that are. Am I just some real estate technology vendor flapping my gums? What does your gut tell you?

My gut tells me you’re probably right. There are a lot of advantages over virtual tours with video tours, and video is becoming very popular on the web.

I think you are right and am making the investment into video now. I think there are some SEO benefits to video that virtual tours cannot offer.

No doubt Tyler…and no other medium-other than blogging-can put you at the center of a local-oriented search.
