Red Sail Real Estate Video Home Tours HD Videography & Photography for Georgia,  Western North Carolina and Florida Our Internet Real Estate Video Tours are the next best thing to being there. We offer the highest quality virtual tours to promote and showcase: Homes for Sale Homes for Lease Vacation Homes  Inns and Hotels Bed and Breakfasts Commercial Properties I am a former licensed Real Estate agent and had the pleasure of working with Coldwell Banker in Orlando Florida.  At the time most of the virtual tours I experienced consisted of still photograph montages and poor quality video.  With a 30-year career in national televison production, I always believed that the integration of quality video with the internet would happen soon.  The time is now.  The advancement of video and web technology has opened up a new world of visual marketing. People remember only 20% of what they hear and only 30% of what they see, but an incredible 70% of what they hear and see! It's no surprise that online video has quickly become a "must have" marketing and communications tool for businesses of all kinds. Viewers are 78% more likely to stay on a website offering quality video. Our tours are a 4-6 minute full motion video tour of your property, taken using moving high definition cameras that are mounted on camera stabilizers and a tripod, for shake free cinema quality stability. Your video tour will cover the entire house, including any major features such as swimming pools, hot tubs, jacuzzis, high end appliances and other amenities that you wish to showcase. Includes stabilized flying HDTV camera scenes connecting each room to all others, in a linear walking tour format. We walk room to room, upstairs and down, inside and out and even show the neighborhood - while so called 360 degree virtual tours turn you around in circles. Your tour can also be made available on your local MLS and Realtor.com, the world's largest real estate website. The final product is a high definition mini-movie, revealing wall to wall details that invite every customer to take an inside look at what you have to offer. Advertising is expensive if it takes a long time to sell a property. You pay only one fee for each video and it can be seen 24 hours a day 7 days a week - until sold. Protect your commission structure! Stand out from your competition! Most real estate professionals know that 81% of homebuyers use the Internet and Video Tours as a resource when they are searching for a new home, and only 35% attend open houses. Why inconvenience yourself and your sellers? Once you've have a Video Tour, you have essentially created a round-the-clock online open house that buyers can conveniently experience from their home or office computer - 24/7. Spend your time with the customers who matter. How many hours have you spent shuttling buyers from one listing to another that you knew from the beginning wouldn't be of interest to them? Generally, agents who don't use Video Tours show twice as many homes to each buyer before a purchase decision is reached. And since gas prices are at an all time high, you not only waste time, you're wasting money. While a Video Tour will never be a substitute for a personal walkthrough, it is an essential first step for helping a buyer focus on the listings that fit their needs and taste. Red Sail Video Tours will enable out-of-town buyers to make qualified decisions efficiently and conveniently because  they now have the ability to visually walk through the property without having to be there. Prospects can literally show the property they are considering to family and friends before they make a buying decision. With a VIdeo Tour, a buyer can  quickly determine if they are interested in taking the next step of making an appointment to go out and visit a property, which saves your time and theirs. Potential buyers who have experienced a Video Tour before they arrive already have a general idea of what they are going to see. They are often more focused and prepared to do business. Buyers who don't use Video Tours spend an average of three times longer with an REALTOR® before making a purchase decision. Your Red Sail Video Tour will allow you to spend your time with the most promising customers, and spend more time  cultivating new business.   ________________________________________________________________________________________________   Real Estate Video Tour Services   Videography 2-3 minute high definition "walk through video" tour of a property, with limited editing, set to background music.
