“With the release of our new Virtual Tour product we have closed an important gap in our product line by providing a low-cost, high value Virtual Tour that can be used for uploading to the MLS and Realtor.com,” says Zoltan Szendro, executive VP of the company. “This way, agents can get exposure for their listings not only through our free syndication services, but now also through the vast distribution channel provided by the IDX data sharing. With many different mapping options – Street View, Bird’s Eye View and embedded Google® Earth – the RealBird Virtual Tours not only provide listing presentation tools but high quality neighborhood walkthroughs as well. At $9.99 per tour this product will also save a lot of money for agents, an important consideration in today’s market conditions. Comparable Virtual Tours from other vendors cost currently significantly more.”
“Using the RealBird listing marketing services, I not only market my current listings more effectively resulting in faster sales, but also use it to win new listings. I just won a new contract on a multi million dollar property and part of my pitch included a demonstration of my online marketing technology powered by RealBird,” says Janie Coffey with Papillon Real Estate (http://www.PapillonRealEstate.com).
“The seller loved the integrated Street View on her own property’s website. The virtual tour add-on is a great service which allows me to distribute the high-impact listing presentation to even more destinations through IDX searches.”
