How to Use Online Videos to Get Real Estate Clients

How to Get more Real Estate Buyers with Online Video
by Michael Tatzber

The real estate business has changed so much over the last decade. First you had text ads and images, then people started with 360 virtual tours and slide shows. But the biggest impact of all is the use of video.

Most potential clients and Realtor utilize the web to search for commercial properties, single-family homes or even vacant lots. Still most internet sites offer only pictures and text to present a specific property. Even though a picture can give you a glimpse of a property, a video can do so much more.

Video tours are a must today on the internet. There are different strategies that you can apply in a video. You can show a house, you can show a Realtor showing a house and you can show a Realtor presenting himself, his company or his professional attitude.

Creating videos and syndicating them is not a rocket science anymore. There are many different free hosting websites like YouTube that will let you upload videos, create channels etc. so you can get a lot of exposure. If you would rather just sell houses, then you can have a company like TopSeekInc.com do the job for you.

Video editing software is nowadays so easy to use that even without any prior experience, you can easily produce a professionally looking video. Adding contact information into the video or doing a satellite view with Google World Maps are some ways to improve the video. If you don't have a camera, just pick up a simple Flip camera or something similar, and start your video career today. It's easy!

I always say that if you don't do online videos, your competitors will do and so you will always lag behind. There is still a window of opportunity for video contents, especially in the local markets, so if you spent your last 5 years solely on paid advertising, you will probably need the extra traffic from online videos.
