One thing we’ve gotten really good at over the last three years with the coaching of team RTV is helping real estate listings here in Metro Detroit get the most exposure possible. When I’m talking with a new client over the phone I ask them what they’re currently doing to get more exposure online.  This is a question most of them have a hard time answering.  I then take them through one of our powerful hit reports and show the traffic sources of one of our virtual tours that has our exposure engine and then one that does not.  The proof as they say is literally in the pie. Our virtual tours rank naturally in the search engines, get converted to video, appear on craigslist, show up in our blog, get emailed out to all the local realtors and of course go to all the major real estate portals.  I explain how this takes constant work, time and effort on our end and this always justifies the small cost to add on the exposure engine to a listing.

This one is simple, in a slow Real Estate Market you need to do whatever you can to get that home in front of as many people as you can!  87% of potential home buyers look at homes with Virtual Tours FIRST!  Recently, I was at a homeowners house doing a Virtual Tour and she said to me that they where looking to buy a Home out of state and they relied on Realtor.com in looking.  She said that they looked at homes with Virtual Tours 1st, homes with multiple photos 2nd and did not even bother looking at homes with one or no photo.  She thought with only one or no photo that they were trying to hide something. The next time you’re talking with one of your customers take a moment to ask them they steps they’re taking to gain more online exposure. You will be surprised how much more you can bring to their marketing plan.
