New add-on! PRO video edit! - a "one-stop-shop" video

Now introducing the PRO video! What we have done is added many popular features to the video to really set you apart from the rest!

There is still just a small % of agents using real full-motion video (not a still slide show) and they are picking up listings at a faster pace because sellers and our clients know this:

Video tours are up to 83 times more likely to get your listing in the top 5 of Google, and are 17 times more likely to be clicked.

Now let's make it even more about YOU, the agent, and more about the property!

The PRO video includes a splash screen in the beginning and end all about YOU. We design this for you.

It now includes a Google Earth Flydown where at the end we show the nearest schools

We have added a property description page after your branding image.

What else will we do? We will promote the BRANDED video (complete with your branded splash screen and all other information) to all the video sites and blogs that we normally go to. This is great as now your branding would be included IN the video, not just in the description below the video.

Perhaps the best part? The places we promote to rank high and they all point back to YOU...

Here is a sample video - first one is the branded one that we promote for you, the second one is same property, just unbranded for the MLS.

“I have worked with Pat Laemmrich and his virtual tour business for more than five years. In my opinion, there is no one who cares more or does more to meet the needs of his real estate clients. Pat's color photos are stunning. And he has his work done and available to you as the client very quickly, sometimes just a matter of hours later. And his help through the online marketing Pat does for his clients is beyond compare. Pat is the only professional I know who routinely lets you know when he is going out of town or on vacation so he can schedule your work and not create a hardship for his agent clients. I've worked with Pat for more than five years for one simple reason -- Pat puts more effort into his profession, his product and ensuring its marketing success than any other virtual tour photographer I have ever encountered. Your search begins and ends with Pat Laemmrich!” June 21, 2010
