The Difference in Virtual Tour Providers:

View Cheryl Waller's profile on LinkedIn

I am the National Marketing Manager for Real Tour Vision Full Service and In-House Dealers and I chose this opportunity to help RTV small business owners because I truly believe in the technology and the strength of the company. Notice I said 'small business owners' and not photographers. One of the unique attributes of our Real Tour Vision dealers is that each and every one of them owns their own company. So, when you choose a Real Tour Vision full-service virtual tour provider you are not just dealing with a photographer, you are dealing with a locally owned and operated company. Currently Real Tour Vision is the largest WORLDWIDE virtual tour company with over 1500 providers in 27 countries around the world.

 

What Makes Real Tour Vision Your Best Choice for Online Marketing of Your Listings?

Lets start with a few questions.

What Do We Mean By Interactive Virtual Tour?

The 360 degree interactive virtual tours provided by Real Tour Vision virtual tour companies allow viewers to click on tour 'Hot-Spots' (which are navigation buttons ON the tour itself) and then navigate the business or real estate listing without the use of drop-down menus or distracting links, like you would find on other lesser quality virtual tours.

Why would an interactive 360 degree virtual tour be better than a slideshow or video tour ?

Interactive virtual tours combine the power of an online virtual experience with the ‘point-and-click' functionality of the internet. On-tour ‘hot-spots' enable viewers and interested buyers to control the entire virtual experience without ever leaving the viewing area.

Our proprietary technology also allows us to offer 2D & 3D floorplans that enable viewers to click on any room on the floorplan and instantly view that room. With other types of marketing tools, your viewers just sit and watch, whereas with an interactive tour or 2D/3D floor plan, they can control their own viewing experience.

If you are currently considering the use of virtual tours in your real estate marketing, you may want to read the Blog Virtual Tour Software Research Pays Off. In her blog, Trish Edmonds talks about her decision to become a Real Tour Vision Jacksonville area Virtual Tour provider .In fact, many Real Tour Vision Virtual Tour providers chose to partner with Real Tour Vision only AFTER researching many other virtual tour solutions, myself included.

I know that when I started my first virtual tour company with Real Tour Vision, I spent months researching and using several different virtual tour software solutions before I chose to partner with them as a provider. My small virtual tour company quickly grew to service three counties, over 150 real estate agent clients and several commercial clients.  

If you are a realtor that has never used virtual tours in your marketing before, or simply have decided not to use them, take a moment to read Chris Grumley's blog Virtual Tours - Seeing is Believing about his experience with a realtor that simply refused to use virtual tours in his real estate marketing until he encountered our technology. Chris Grumley is a leading Manatee Couty Virtual Tour Provider in Florida.

In his blog, Losing my One-Shot-Lens and Finding RTV Anthony Pastoriza talks about his experiences with virtual tour software and the nightmares he faced before making the decision to lose his One-Shot lens and partner with RTV. Anthony is now a leading Kent County Virtual Tour Provider in Delaware. In fact, if you are currently in the research phase of choosing a virtual tour solution, I highly suggest that you sift through the virtual tour company blog and see what others have to say about this incredible technology, why they chose to partner with Real Tour Vision and the difference it has made in their businesses and the businesses of their clients.

What about marketing? Do you post tours on Realtor.com?

A virtual tour is an Internet marketing tool, without being actually marketing on the Internet, it is nothing more than a wasted advertising expense. After your tour is completed, your Real Tour Vision Provider will not only be able to post your tour on  Realtor.com, but will automatically distribute your virtual tour to major Internet portal sites.

Everything is about marketing your listings, the more successful you become as a real estate agent, the more successful the RTV Dealer Network becomes. This results in even more marketing for our dealers your tours, your listings, and all of this happens automatically when you choose a Real Tour Vision Provider as your marketing partner.

The Virtual Tour Technology:

There are many national and local companies to choose from. In fact, today, if you are to pull up a listing of all Realtor.com ® Picture Path® authorized partners, you would probably see a very long and almost overwhelming list. This is mostly due to the fact that there are no costs to be an authorized partner. This opens the floodgates for all kinds of different 'virtual tour' companies that may or may not market your listings effectively.

Why are Real Tour Vision Dealers Better? Click on that link and see why virtually all Real Tour Vision Full Service Providers are LEADERS in their market places. Our interactive technology has been around for over 8 years, yet just recently hundreds if not thousands of companies are emerging all over the nation using inferior technologies and then marketing them as ‘virtual tours' .

I call it the ‘jack-in-the box' effect, but you can read more about that here in my article The Virtual Tour Dilemma. Since Picture Path® opened the doors to pretty much anyone with a camera and a website, it is my opinion that this dilemma is only going to worsen. Unfortunately this makes your job as a real estate agent much more difficult when it comes time to select a tour provider.

Dear RTV,
Just wanted to get back to you about how the 'Virtual Tour' Software
is doing for us...GREAT! The training for very informative and
EXTEMELY helpful. I was able to complete my first tour the very next
day. I had a few questions while completing my first tours and your
help desk wonderful. If they were not immediately available they
returned my call in a timely manner and was able to resolve any issues
I had during our conversation. I have found the software very easy to
use and a big plus in getting interests in my listings. The transition
to Realtor.com was seamless. All of the different URL options meet our
MLS providers. Thanks for a great product !!

Vero Beach, Florida

Dear RTV,
After several months of searching the various virtual tour products
available we selected RealTour Vision to upgrade for our current
Egg system. At Goldsmith Team GMAC Real Estate our first priority
is always providing premier service to our customers. Realtour Vision
is by far the best product for maintaining that level of service. We
were impressed with several features of the software including the
ability to take partial 360 shots. The downloadable flyer and large
viewing area convinced us this was the right choice for our company.

In today's market about 30-40% of a realtors business will come for
the internet, with a tool like RTV we show the customer the quality
they can expect when doing business with us. I will also mention
the support staff is great, many thanks to Ben, he is a great asset to
your company and his knowledge of the software is fantastic.

I can certainly recommend the system to any company thinking about
doing there own virtual tours. Feedback from our agents has been
great, they love the clarity of each scene and the ability to have
there personal contact information on the screen.

The last thing I want to mention is the variety of links, the most
important being the MLS unbranded. Our board only allows virtual
tours to be unbranded, this one feature alone is reason enough to
use RTV.

compares to this technology and it is so easy to use."

Terry Frazier
V-Property Tours Ltd.

For me to tell you that the newly upgraded tour window is great is an
understatement! I was working with a potential new realtor client who
was leaning towards a competitor due to her liking of their window's
appearance and navigation compared to RTV's older window which
was still shown in my web portfolio.

I advised her of the upgrade, sent her a sample with the new window
and earned her business that week! I've since upgraded the links on
my site to show all samples in the new virtual tour format. Thanks to
RTV for being on top of your game and providing your dealers with
the most professional looking packages available!

Thank You so much for the recent changes to the tour layouts! It looks
incredible! There are so many changes and new features, my favorite
being the new music selection! It's great to have so many choices! I
have been getting a lot of positive feed back from my clients as well.
One big hit with them is the link "View my Tour Gallery" Thank You
all so much for the new layout, all the hard work you put into working
with us dealers & the great tech support as well . Keep up the good
work and thanks a million!"
