Consumers are looking to video now more than ever before as a research tool in the home-buying process, and YouTube, the No. 1 online video website, is where they are searching for video, with 60 percent of video streams happening there. We also have leveraged a digital marketing platform offered by thismoment, a content management and distribution firm, to distribute all our social media content in a consistent, controlled and measurable manner.”
