Can Video Tours Help You Sell Your Charlotte, NC. Home?

With new technology coming out it seems like everyday; can video tours help you sell your Charlotte, NC. home? I think it does. yesterday I had a closing on one of my listings. While I was in the lobby waiting the buyer came in and said "I know you; you are famous". needless to say i had a perplexed look on my face. I have been called a lot of things; but never famous. he told me he watched my you tube video and was thoroughly impressed with the time and dedication I put in. In fact, in this market he said that was the deciding factor for him to go and actually view the house and eventually put an offer in and buy it. I have had other similar stories of people who told me the video helped them decide on the house or not to. but one constant remained throughout all the conversations I had...it helped me market the house better. I do not do a traditional video where you stitch a group of photos together and put up a slide-show of the house with multiple photos. I actually take the time to walk through the house and explain the features and selling points of each and every room. I actually give a virtual walk through on the house. With the market being such that buyers and sellers have limited time available; this has enhanced my homes on the market and has brought buyers ready to make an offer subject to seeing the house. The Internet has made it so that over 90% (and I actually think this is a conservative number) of people start their search on-line for a house. Out of those 90% plus people over 45% said in a recent survey they found the house they bought on-line. that is almost half. What f the weather is not conducive for the buyers to go out and view a home. Would it be nice to know they can watch a complete tour of the home and it's features on-line form the comforts of their home? What are you doing or your Realtor doing to enhance your home so as to attract those almost 50% of buyers who buy a house they found on-line to your home? Videos are now a must in my opinion to get a home sold... I can attribute 3 sales in the past 9 months to videos.... Dave diCecco Realtor/Broker www.davedicecco.com
