The Need of Virtual Tours

I was reading an article of Mr. Verl Workman he is a very respected Real Estate coach, and he was making emphasis on the importance of including virtual tours in all of their listings. He admitted that virtual tours have evolved and now they are faster and clearer, and that the statistics prove that they decrease the days that the listings stay on the market.
In the first place you will list more properties when you demonstrate your online marketing strategy in the listing presentation, you should include that you use professional photography and that your virtual tours are distributed on a wide array of the nation's top search sites for real estate.
From a buyers stand point the realtor association of real estate admits that between 70-80% of all customers are going online and a huge number will not see your listings because they are lacking a professional virtual tour. The studies are showing that those listings with more visual content are viewed more than twice as often and tend to sell quicker than properties that do not have them.
He emphatically recommends professional virtual tours of every house no matter how good or bad it looks. You need to get the word out that the property is on the market and for that you will need the help of a professional virtual tour provider
If you are thinking that the property does not photograph well it is time to ask yourself will you show the property offline? If you answer yes to that question it is obvious that you should show it online, and the best way to do so is by using a professional virtual tour provider.
He recommended to use a professional virtual tour in all the listings, and after some of his realtors following this recommendation have come to the conclusion that customers that request to visit these less than perfect homes are already aware of the imperfections so they are more qualified to become buyers.
You will be saving your valuable time to show a home that the customer has not visually prequalified. You will also pick more clients in this slow market since the clients will recognize that you go the extra mile to help them sell their properties. Since you can show the statistics of the online viewers it will be easier when you need to negotiate a price reduction or a less than full price offers.
He recommends that every property should have a virtual tour, since it is a small investment that will help you gain more listings and sell more properties. This will also help you in the marketing process since your virtual tour provider can help you increase your presence on the Internet.
