From resorts on the islands of Lake Erie, to top ranked golf courses in the Southwest and incredible lodgings in between, it's been an incredible adventure.

Creating virtual tours with RTV has enabled me to travel and 'work' at various locations throughout the country and experience what they have to offer. Thank you RTV for helping take my career to a new level.ĭo you 'work' in order to take a vacation or do you take a vacation in order to 'work'. In spite of our market being down almost 50% in the number of sales, and the inventory being up almost 50% in the number of listings, this has been my best year ever in real estate with over $12 million in sales so far - and it is only April. The buyers have never been inside the house. I have a contract pending on a property which is scheduled to close later this month. It seems they find the listings and have their agent make the appointment which results in more showings and sales for my sellers. Many times in the course of showing one of my listings with an agent from another company, I hear the buyers talking about having seen the virtual tour on the Internet. Since then there have been other situations where a buyer's partner or family member could not be present but the decision to go forward was based on the virtual tour. The wife never came to see it until closing. They decided then and there to make an offer. During the showing he called his wife at home and told her to look at the virtual tour again. Shortly after submitting it, I received a call from a buyer who said his wife had seen a virtual tour on the Internet and she wanted him to take a look at the property while he was in the Keys. My first RTV tour was of one of the highest priced homes in Key Largo. Having taken some photography courses in college, and with over 30 years in the real estate business taking photos of houses, I decided to do the tours myself. After looking at a lot of low quality tours, I found RTV. I could see the tide turning and I wanted to add virtual tours back to my listings so I started doing some research to find the best solution. Then the market got so hot, and properties were selling so fast, there was no real need to have tours. I had tried the two-shot version but the results were not very good. A few years earlier I was the first agent in our area to do virtual tours.

With so many Florida Keys homes and condos sold as vacation homes, an online presence with great photos and virtual tours becomes essential. In early 2005 as the real estate market here in the Florida Keys started to slow, I could see I would have to brush up on my marketing skills and find better ways to expose my listings to potential buyers. Success with RTV from a Real Estate Agent's Point of View I just wanted everyone to know what GREAT people work at RTV and how they go out of their way to help you get started and be successful. Morgan Makowski has been SOOOO helpful as I’ve started my tours she has gone above and beyond in answering any and all questions or has let me know who to get in touch with to help. A couple of practice tours, and a presentation for a few realtors at one agency and I was hired to do several tours. After Ben got me set with my camera, John went through the training with me on the phone and I was ready to start. He has been helpful since with any camera questions or problems. Next Ben got my camera ready to go and all set up. We talked several times before I decided to try this new adventure he was very informative and got me set up and ready to go.
