I like the communities and condo complexes. I got a call today from antoher virtual tour provider. I can see the prcing going down from these companies. It will just get better and easier for agents. Like I said. It should be mandatory. But then if you are providing tours on everyting and your competitors are not. Well then you deserve the business. Great ideas.

Every property should have it's own virtual tour no matter what type of Property or price point it has. They're so easy to set up and manage. I use them for everything, for example, I provide VTs for communties, condo complexes, ammenity areas, lake views from public & commons areas. It's just a great way to provide exposure to the area we live, in addition to the individual home tour. Zach Stamey ERA Wilder Realty Rick,

]]> Comment on Real Estate Marketing Basics Keeps the Phone Ringing by Jeff Davis http://rickknight.wordpress.com/2008/06/11/real-estate-marketing-basics-keeps-the-phone-ringing/#comment-3 Jeff Davis Wed, 11 Jun 2008 11:55:40 +0000 http://rickknight.wordpress.com/?p=8#comment-3 Rick, I agree that marketing to your sphere gives you the greatest return. I hesitated at the start because I was not sure I wanted my friends in my business. Then I discovered it was easier to talk to them about Real Estate than just about any other subject. Everyone is effected by Real Estate and they want to know what is going on with the value of their largest investment. Since I am their friend they trust what I have to tell them. Now when the topic of real estate comes up, it is easy for me to ask them who they know that might be buying or selling real estate. I explain that even if they don't need my services directly, they are helping me by referring me to someone they know who does.
