and Virtual Imaging Corporation Join Forces
July 19, 2001 Coral Springs, FL. - VisualTour.com™, the nation's leading self service virtual tour provider, today announced an agreement with Virtual Imaging Corporation (VIC), the nation's largest real estate image capture company, which will make available a new, nationwide, full service virtual tour product line. "Combining the proven VisualTour technology and infrastructure with Virtual Imaging Corporation's unequalled photography network creates the only nationwide virtual tour service with the ability to provide a two day guaranteed turnaround on full service virtual tours, include 8 panoramic scenes and a front 180° view as a standard feature, and the customers' branding on the tour, all at a price lower than the current competitive offerings" says Steve Jarrell, President of VisualTour.com. This agreement combines the strengths of two of the strongest and most reputable players in the virtual tour business today. VIC has over 20 years of experience in the image capture business, and VisualTour has been developing and deploying their agent controlled virtual tour technology for over 5 years and has a large, loyal customer base. "We're excited to be working with a strong partner that shares our commitment to providing world class services and products" stated Tom Beverly, CEO of Virtual Imaging Corp. Prudential California, with 118 offices and over 29,000 real estate transactions annually, was one of the first customers to sign up for the new full service virtual tour offering. Mr. Ed Krafchow, CEO of Prudential California said, "Due to the fast turnaround of listings in our market, the ability to have a full service tour on the web within two days offers a superior marketing advantage for our agents and a tangible benefit for our customers. In addition we'll get over twice as many scenes in each tour, and we're getting tours that brand our company. That's very important to us."
