Question: I have a Realtor, why do I need a 123HVT video tour?

Answer: In today’s “Buyer’s Market” you need an edge over your competition. Our home video tours act like an “Open House” 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week. No Realtor or other home selling service can offer this level of continued exposure!


Question: I’ve just decided to sell my property, do I use your services only?

 Answer: Although you can opt to only utilize 123HVT.com, we suggest that you consider combining our unique services with other professional Real Estate services such as the Multiple Listing Services, Financial Organizations, Real Estate attorneys, Title Companies, etc.

 Question: How long does it take to have our property videotaped and ready for viewing?

 Answer: Generally, we can have your Video Tour ready within 1 week

 Question: How do buyers find my property video tour?

 Answer: Each package includes an attractive Lawn Sign that you display which shows our website, your property ID number and indicates that your property is featured in our exclusive video tour presentations. In addition, 123HVT.com is partners with other Real Estate services providing cross-selling opportunities and added exposure. 123HVT.com also is engaged in active advertising & marketing campaigns including television commercials, direct mail and Internet Search Engine advertisement.

Question: How long is my video tour listed on your website?

Answer: We have 12-week advertising packages for budget minded customers. But our best values are in our “unlimited listing” packages which will keep your property video tour featured on our website until it sells!

Question: Do all of your video tours include professional narration and who prepares the shooting and voice over script?

Answer: Every package includes shooting & narration scripting, location video production, editing, professional narration, music, graphics, preparation for online Internet video streaming, hosting on our website, a downloadable Property Specifications Sheet and a complimentary DVD of the finished video for a keepsake.

Question: How long are the video tours?

Answer: We have (3) different packages. Our “Producer” package provides for a two-minute presentation. Our “Silver Screen” package extends the video presentation to four minutes. Finally our “Emmy” package is our most deluxe offering with a full six minutes of an engaging video tour of your property.

Question: How does your video tour compare to photos and 360 degree virtual tours that I’ve seen on other home websites?

Answer: Photos, which are most widely used, lack selling dynamics and really do not portray your property as well as needed (particularly in this highly competitive “buyer’s market”). A 360-degree virtual tour is simply several photos taken with a digital still camera containing a fisheye lens. The photos are then electronically stitched together with special software and displayed on a website. The viewer needs to download special software in most cases to view these photos. The photos have a very distorted view due to the fisheye lens and can make the rooms look smaller than they are in real life. Both types of presentations lack audio narrations to highlight key features and do not automatically take the viewer through the property as you would do in an in-person open house tour.

Question: Do visitors interested in viewing my video tour need special software or high-speed connections and do they need to wait long to download the presentation?

Answer: We utilize specialized “video streaming servers” to deliver your video tours quickly and efficiently. There is no “downloading” necessary since all video tours are streamed directly to the viewer’s computer in real time. Our video encoding is designed to be compatible with either PC or MAC computers and utilizes software that comes with the respective computers requiring no special software downloads or other annoying connection requirements. It is true that our service works best with high-speed connections and multimedia ready computers but neither is a necessity.

 
Question: What makes your video tour service better than others?

Answer: We are a professional production and digital marketing company backed by a parent company in business since 1982. We offer complete turnkey packages with no “hidden” fees or surprises. All packages include videos produced by award winning experts in their field. Lawn signs, television/direct mail/Internet marketing and the option for listing your property until it sells make 123HVT.com a cut above our competition.

Question: I have a video camera, can’t I just shoot the video and give it to you?

Answer: Like most other important selling statistics, you get just one chance to capture a buyer’s interest. PRESENTATION & QUALITY are critical and first impressions of your property will make or break the sale. We are professionals, trained to present your property in the best light as possible. Our video quality, shooting techniques and overall presentation of the key features of your property will help sell your property faster and at the best price possible.
