Are you concerned about how to ensure your property gets the best marketing and exposure to qualified buyers in today’s market conditions? 90% of Home Buyers turn to the Internet to look for real estate. Which properties capture their time and attention? Listings of properties for sale, of course. But listings with plenty of information including a visual presentation of the home. In fact 97% of consumers surveyed prefer listings with virtual tours and multiple photos. Sounds obvious? Imagine if on eBay, an automotive or hotel website you just saw a couple of lines of text describing the item offered. No photos, no feature rich information about the specifications, the warranty, or how to find or purchase the item. You wouldn’t spend much time on that type of website would you? Providing a quality, rich media Internet based showcase is now one of the minimum requirements for Hottinger Real Estate, Inc. to effectively market a seller’s property and to attract buyers to express interest in that property. No longer is it acceptable to just put a sign in the front yard, purchase a 3 line classified ad, send out a batch of “Just Listed” postcards to the neighbors and hold an open house. Hottinger Real Estate, Inc. is proactive in leveraging the power of the internet to market your property and know that we need to do more than just show a few lines of text and a photo or two on the Multiple Listing Service or on our own website. Hottinger Real Estate, Inc. uses the power of VisualTour to professionally showcase your property with rich media that appeals to buyers. But VisualTour is much more than just a series of pretty photos and scrolling panoramic scenes. Each VisualTour can include interactive mapping, a printable flyer, the ability to download the tour for reference when a buyer cannot be connected to the internet and immediate contact points so that buyers can reach your Hottinger Real Estate, Inc. listing agent immediately! Maximum Exposure Just as important as all of these features is the Maximum Exposure that only VisualTour provides your agent and your home. Hitwise.com is a leading website traffic measuring service, monitoring more than 1 million websites, including more than 2,500 real estate websites. These recent charts clearly show that the nearly 10 million VisualTours viewed monthly is more than three times the exposure generated by our nearest virtual tour competitor. And VisualTour is also a serious information source compared with other well known real estate search sites. Top 10 Virtual Tour Vendors*
