QR Code Generator

qrcode

Have you seen this? It is called a QR Code.

QRcode is two dimensional code which is categorized
in matrix code.

In simple terms, your phone can likely take a "picture" of
this and take you directly to a web site.

Many phones already have this capability, and I just
downloaded a 99 cent program for my iPhone and
I simply opened up that program, aimed at this graphic
and it linked me right to a virtual tour.

How about we print up signs with a graphic like this
pointing people to directly to the tour of that property??

Wow.

24-Hour Open House

You've heard the old adage "24 hour open house" before regarding virtual tours.

We're taking that one-step further.

We have added a new tab called "Chat" which allows you to chat live with anyone that may be browsing your virtual tour.

Sitting at your office with time to kill? Login to your chat (we will be using Meebo, perhaps more later) and have someone join you to discuss the property in more detail. Point them to other parts of the tour while you're at it...show them the video, or have them go full-screen with the photos.

Heck, even mention that their tour gets syndicated to all the major Real Estate portals, typically shows up in the top 10 results, and gets pushed locally through our community blog network.

In fact, you can use these cheat sheets to help you with that listing contract! Yes, we'll customize for you.

Contact us for more information on how to get this feature working for YOUR tours.

http://bit.ly/REVideo Here is a post about RE Video - a couple of major points highlighted - full article is linked.

Video - the game changer?



One of the highlights of this article is that 73% of sellers would list with an agent doing a video, yet only 1% of agents use this technology.

Two other major highlights revolve around indexing of your listing. YouTube is the second-most used search engine in the world - second to Google. Also, the professional voice-over that we include in our videos are even searchable via Google.

Two ways we can help:
1. We have shot over 150 videos in 2009 and we not only upload your video to YouTube, we also upload them to all the other major video sites - like Yahoo, WellcomeMat, and a bunch more. We take are of all this for you all for under $100. We'll even include your Zip Code in the professional voice over to be indexed better by Google.

2. We can also help you take better video if you do it yourself - and we can edit them FOR you, and include all of our syndication and professional voice-over.
