Do you want a million buyers?

You missed them...if you didn't post your listing at Obeo.

Really, - over one million buyers.

(Actually, it was 1.3 million, but who's counting?)

Their Realtors know about our great tools:

Obeo HomeSite - a unique, Realtor-branded website for each listing.

StyleDesigner - redecorate the listing on line-before they move in.

SpaceDesigner - move their furniture in without the backache. And move it again.

ObeoConnect - they can connect to Realtors direct, in Spanish or English.

And, any Realtors using Obeo can answer all these questions:

How many people came to see my home?

What rooms were they in?

Did they send you an email to schedule a showing?

Here's your chance to get your listings in front of the market:

Real Estate Video is NOT the consumer choice.

I hope this real estate video works...hope the lighting is ok...it costs a lot...

where does it go?...who is seeing it?...does this really work?

Sellsius offers up a late serving of turkey with a video from Brian Copeland , a Realtor in Nashville. (His blog, Nashville and Beyond, has decent content and some pretty funny and fun things things to know about the area.)

Even though the market forces have virtual tours as the leading form of RE marketing-over a million buyers a month visit Obeo-once more we have to hear how RE web video is the way to go.

My reply at Sellsius:

Brian,

Virtual tours are the most widely used form of web RE marketing; this is what the consumer wants because this is where the consumer money is being spent.

Video tours do not work for most listings because:

-Video tours are not aggregated or distributed effectively on the web.
-Video tours lack visual quality: most RE video is poor to average.
-Video tours are not cost effective for most listings.

Virtual tours are the leading form of marketing properties on the web:
Sellers list with Realtors who sell,and Realtors who sell are using millions-perhaps billions, worldwide - virtual tours to market listings.

Because it is cost and labor intensive, RE web video remains a niche tool for luxury listings, unique locations and as a marketing tool for funny, charismatic or extremely dynamic Relators or agencies.

By the way, keep an eye on the blog here - in the coming weeks, Obeo will be showing you why virtual tours are and will remain the best way to market any property on line or anywhere. How buyers love virtual tours, and sellers love them, too.

Buyers want to own their home when they see it on line.

Obeo will help them do that, and more.


I gotta go sell something!
