"The virtual tours from VisualTour.com have been received very well from both buyers and sellers. Of course, sellers always want to see their home shown in the best light - anywhere. You can track the activity of your tours from VisualTour.com and where the visitors to the tours are coming from (ie. Realtor.com, Yahoo.com, etc.). You can create a link on Realtor.com to direct people to the tour, and you can do the same on other sites you may have (I have my iLead site and my own website).

"Here is just one example of how wonderfully it has worked for me: last summer I had a listing where the buyer found the home on realtor.com, took the VisualTour®, got in the car and drove to the house. The seller went ahead and let them in (all unbeknownst to me) to look around. About 2 hours later I received a call from my seller telling me they have a buyer at the house right now taking measurements, and they have negotiated a price and what was to be included. They put the buyer on the phone and I directed them to my office to sign the purchase agreement. I then turned right around and drove to the sellers house to have them sign. Full price and no hassles! Doesn't usually happen that easily, but it certainly paid for that VisualTour® and many more!

"The buyers, when given a CD, are very impressed and know that I am technology literate enough (you don't have to be real technology oriented to create these tours, or to upload them) to help them find the right home. It's just that nobody else is giving them this type of material, usually just a listing sheet, which is the same sheet everyone else would give them."
