Set Yourself Apart With the Right Virtual Tour
By admin:
Since all real marketing of homes for sale now is done on the internet, you need to provide your sellers with a way to display the great images you take of their homes to potential buyers. Enter the virtual tour.
I don’t mean those 360 degree tours of years past. I mean a website dedicated to providing information and superb, high quality photos, school information, maps and property details about the home.
My hobby is photography (hobby is not really the right word) and I dabble in web design – both a result of my desire to have better marketing for my real estate clients. I saw a post on Larry’s real estate photography blog early this week and it got me inspired to put together a something that I could be proud of to help market my listings in a better way than I have in the past. Larry’s blog has a way of doing that for a lot of people. If you aren’t a regular there, you should check it out.
Back to the Virtual Tour – this is what I made for my listings and if you want it, you can download and use it yourself: http://atlantainfocus.com/elegant-virtual-tour/
You can download both the branded and unbranded versions
Now, before you download it, you need to know that the virtual tours run on WordPress so you need to have your own domain and know how to install and run WordPress. The theme has a readme text file that will help you get the virtual tour set up pretty quickly.
I’ve taken the extra step of creating a WordPress MU site and uploaded these 2 themes for use with multiple virtual tours very quickly. If you have that kind of skill, go for it! You will not be disappointed. All you have to do is upload your photos and create your pages and you are done.
In the coming days, I’ll create a page for downloadable themes with a tutorial for them. For now, if you have any questions, you can email me from my email address in the readme file or post in the comments below.
Rememeber, own your home turf!
