In today’s competitive real estate market, you simply cannot afford to waste your time and money on marketing services that take forever to get your listings online and in front of potential buyers. When it’s time to market your listings, you need results, not promises. My aim here is to explain the difference between my company and other virtual tour providers.
FLORIDA EYE TOURS is Your Answer For the Online Marketing Of Your Listings!
With Florida Eye Tours you benefit from:
1. Personalized Service – We are a local company that only offers virtual tours to Realtor’s in Manatee County. Let’s face it, you can use a lot of different virtual tour solutions to market your properties, but the question is, what kind of service are you going to receive? When your homeowner signs that listing agreement, the clock starts ticking. As a virtual tour professional I understand the importance of getting your listings photographed, processed, and online as quickly as possible. After your scheduled virtual tour appointment, we will process your tour and have it online in 48 HOURS GUARANTEED!
2. The Best Technology – When I started this virtual tour company back in 2006, I could have very easily chosen any processing software for your virtual tours. However, I chose to team up with Real Tour Vision, an innovative virtual tour software company that allows me to provide you with interactive virtual tours. Interactive virtual tours differ from other virtual tours, because they allow viewers to go from room to room without ever leaving the viewing area. Other tour software only allows drop-down menus or links to the side and bottom of the tour. I have always found that distracting, for the reason that you don’t use drop-down menus in a true on-site visit of the property. Interactive virtual tours allow viewers to get a better feel for the true flow of the home.
3. Online Marketing – It is simply NOT enough to have a virtual tour of a property. What good does a virtual tour do for your property if no one ever sees it? Just posting the tour on your personal site limits the property’s exposure to viewers that visit your site. Some virtual tour companies may lead you to believe that linking the tour to your website is the end of the process. We take it to the next level. When Florida Eye Tours completes the production of your virtual tour, we then add your customized banners, logos, property and contact information. The tour is then sent to our servers for automatic internet distribution to national portal sites. We provide you with two links to your tour. One is branded with all of your contact information and displays key property information. The second link is completely unbranded and can be used on MLS/IDX websites.
4. Realtor.com® Distribution – If you provide us with an MLS number at the time of your order, your tour is automatically linked to active listings on www.homeseekers.com and www.homes.com free of charge. We can also link your tour to Realtor.com FREE of charge for Enhanced Realtor’s with Realtor.com (Showcase). If you are not enhanced, we can still link your tour to Realtor.com for a nominal $25 fee. When your tour is submitted to Realtor.com your tour is then also sent to www.move.com, MSN Home Advisor, AOL Real Estate, AND 30+ additional websites in the homestore.com network.
The list goes on and on, but, don’t just take it from me. In fact there is nothing that I can say about my business that our clients can’t say better:
“I absolutely LOVE the new Real Tour Vision layout and interface! The new tour galleries and web sites, along with all of the constant improvements make me proud to be affiliated with a company that is so on top of things!”
Christine Kuhn. Key Solutions.
“I researched virtual tour software and systems for a year before deciding on yours. I can say that Real Tour Vision has not disappointed me. It probably is the best out there, no kidding. I am proud to be able to offer my clients this excellent product that your company has provided!”
Shirlee Smith. Director.
“The last thing I want to mention is the variety of links, the most important being the MLS unbranded. Our board only allows virtual tours to be unbranded. This one feature alone is reason enough to use Florida Eye Tours!”
Jeff Crawford. Realtor.
“Thanks for a GREAT PRODUCT, GREAT SUPPORT and a GREAT COMPANY, which is very hard to find these days!”
Tim Schuttle. Realtor
So, as you drive around Anna Maria Island or Bradenton, there’s a pretty good chance that a lot of the listed homes you are passing are currently being marketed by Florida Eye Tours! When buyers are looking for a home in this area, they will be able to find those listings on the Internet, and take a full virtual tour of the property. And if you still have doubts that our virtual tour service is far superior to other virtual tour options, take it from a successful real estate agent from Eden Prairie, Minnesota who recently posted this comment on the real estate network, ActiveRain.com.
“I am looking for my own home and find it so annoying to run into the slide-shows disguised as virtual tours. It is really a disservice to the homeowner as it is a cheap way to do it. I want to see a real 360 to get an idea of the layout and traffic flow. I don’t want to zoom into the fireplace that, you guessed it, is a fireplace. If I see it is a slide show of pics already on the MLS, then I just close it and move on.”
