A great virtual tour is the one that produces the result you want.

Those results can be:

1. Request more information

2. Click link

3. CALL

4. Provide a comprehensive tour of the house (should be action following 1, 2 or 3)

A great virtual tour is NOT what others think, it is the one that delivers the result you want.

Doug,

Our luxury clients have found that the high end buyer does not like virtual tour. They prefer stills. They want to look at each photo on their own timeline, and not on the timeline of a virtual tour...just what the end users respond to. Save you $$$ A

I think that the value in most of these videos is in getting Google to notice and significantly boost our exposure. Few buyers actually watch the videos though.

Very good point about them being boring, however if the listing sell that is what really matters.

I like the TourFactory tours best. They take the tour beyond the slide show stage, and you can integrate video clips into the tours. We use wide-angle photos in our TourFactory tours.
