Youtube yourself and your listings!  

It's time to start using the internet in case you have not already starting doing so.  Here are some examples of how others are doing it and some ideas of how you can promote your services too with youtube for FREE!  

Click to view each one below:


Wilkesboro, NC Listing Video with realtor narrator  You can hire someone or do it yourself.  

Beaufort, SC Listing with realtor narrator  This must be a service because this looks just like the first one...  

Raleigh, NC Listing - soundtrack only  The soundtrack option is okay but I personality like the other approach; just my taste.  

Irmo, SC Listing - soundtrack only This one is like the other. Instead of this, why not do a walkthrough, pointing out the rooms and show the potential.  

Listing Presentation Video - Do one of these and share the link to your prospects or FSBOs so they can see how you do it BEFORE they sign up with another realtor.  

1st-time Buyer Presentation Video - Same as the listing presentation as a way to promote your service and personality on a video that can be embedded in your websites or blogs and emailed to your prospects too.  

Funny Rent vs Buy Video - You can do something funny like this too!  

One Wing Landing - You have got to watch this one!  Nothing to do with real estate but certainly worth watching!  

Open your mind and creative side in showing the world your personality and professional service online.  It's free and easy with a little time and work. 

Then, it's there to promote with any future promotions on realtor.com, craigslist, facebook, youtube, your website, your emails, etc.  

Also, by putting all of your listings on video, your sellers are going to be sharing them to their family and friends too.  What a impact this can have for your business!   Send them an email link with the listing with your personal contact information and ask them to forward the email to all of their family, friends and anyone that asks about their home.  

One more thing, you can also explore other youtube videos and facebook videos, etc. to see what others are doing and steal ideas and learn what you can do differently or better.  

Use this slow time to get this going and you are going to turn slow time into fast time!!    

MAKE SURE TO SEE THE PROMOTION ON JUST POSTED FOR A 360 VIRTUAL TOUR FOR ALL OF YOUR LISTINGS!

Sam,

Thanks for the post. This took me out of my comfort zone. I tend to think of youtube for music and rantings. Never once did I search to see if real estate was being marketed. In this market ever opportunity to expose a listing is a good thing. I'll be adding it to my arsenal.

I've seen some pretty nice real estate videos on youtube.  Some of them have great production values, and others are very cheaply done, but still very effective.  There is a Realtor in Orange County, California who videotapes his satisfied buyers in front of their new home and interviews them about the process and whether they would recommend him.  The picture and sound quality is not the best, but the message is pretty powerful.

Yea that is getting to complicated now. All these gadgets and so little time. I thought maybe this is why our business is slow because we are all doing gadgets.

Interesting to use Youtube as a viable option for real estate sales. I will have to look in this.
