Zillow 3D Home Tours

Hi, this is Jordan of Hampton Roads Real Estate Photography, and today I'd like to introduce our newest service, Zillow 3D Home Tours, available today as a standalone service, or as an add-on to our standard packages.

Zillow 3D Home Tours are a brand new addition to the real estate marketing landscape and are another great way to add a little extra spark to your listing. And in conjunction with our other services such as our signature walkthrough videos, help to provide maximum promotion and exposure on the most popular real estate search platforms.

I'd wager to say that most people watching this video have never seen a Zillow 3D Home Tour, so let's take a minute to see what it's all about.

------------------------

As an alternative to the industry standard 3D modeling services such as Matterport, which we also provide by the way, the Zillow 3D Home Tour takes a simpler approach to the concept of virtually walking through a home. Instead of dozens or hundreds of scan points, this option instead captures one point in each room where the viewer can see a 360 degree perspective and get a better sense for the home's layout and feel.

-----------------------

In addition to providing prospective buyers a new and exciting viewing experience, Zillow actively promotes homes that have their 3D Home Tour published to the listing. Again, this, alongside our walkthrough videos, work to provide the maximum exposure and promotion available through Zillow's platform without having to invest advertising dollars.

----------------------

You will find the Zillow 3D Home Tour standalone service, as well as the add-on option, on our booking system at HRHomePics.com

Virtual Twilight Real Estate Photos

Hi, this is Jordan of Hampton Roads Real Estate Photography, and in this video I'd like to introduce our Virtual Twilight Photo Service, available today as part of our Property Spotlight and Hollywood Packages, or as an add-on to the Quick and Easy Package.

Twilight photos are a great way to show potential buyers what the property looks like in the evening, the time that a lot of properties come to life.

The notion of Twilight or Night time photos in new to some agents, so let's all take a quick minute to discover what its all about.

------------------------

As I go over this section, lets watch some examples of virtual twilight photos. You will notice that we call it a virtual twilight photo as the conversion to the twilight look is done in editing rather than being shot at night. The 1 drawback of this method is that it may not be 100% accurate to the real life look, but had multiple advantages. Imagine you pony up $75 or more for a night time shoot but it decides to rain that day, how about a broken light bulb, a mismatched color of the house lights, or a neighbor throwing a party that day and ruining the shot? These are all very common issues and leave a sour taste in agents’ mouths because it doesn’t turn out the way they were hoping, and can all be avoided by creating the twilight look in editing.

------------------------

Hampton Roads Real Estate Photography is proud to be the only local real estate media company to provide a virtual twilight photo as part of some of our standard packages. This gives you the option to have a unique look on your listing without having to pay the 75 or more dollars that most other companies charge for each photo.

You will find our Virtual Twilight Photo Service as part of our Property Spotlight and Hollywood Packages, as well as an add-on to the Quick and Easy Package, on our booking system at HRHomePics.com

Real Estate Walkthrough Videos

Hi, this is Jordan of Hampton Roads Real Estate Photography, and in this video I'd like to introduce our Signature Walkthrough Videos, available today as part of our Property Spotlight and Hollywood Packages, or as an add-on to the Quick and Easy Package.

Walkthrough Videos, sometimes referred to as virtual tours, are a great way to show a prospective buyer around a property, and is the perfect complement to the traditional set of photos that every house needs. And in conjunction with our other services such as our virtual twilight photos, aerial shots, and 3D tours, help to provide maximum promotion and exposure on the most popular real estate search platforms. Specifically on Zillow, our video tours are integrated in to the listing page and Zillow actively promotes listings that include a video above those without.

Professional quality walkthrough videos are still in the up and coming phase in the real estate industry, so let's all take a quick minute to get on the same page.

------------------------

A walkthrough video of a house up for sale is one of the best marketing tools out there, for a few reasons. When done correctly, the video serves as sort of a virtual showing, and moves through the house the same way that a person might look around during a showing. In contrast to still photos, the viewer gets a much better sense of the layout of the house and there is a more immersive experience. In a sense, the video could serve as a sort of virtual open house which is perfect for buyers that are out of the area or even service members overseas.

----------------------

You may have seen videos out there that are shaky, too far zoomed in, improperly lit, among other issues, but this is nothing like that. At Hampton Roads Real Estate Photography, we pride ourselves in creating the best possible quality in everything we do, and the videos are no different. Professional cameras, lenses, and stabilization alongside thousands of homes worth of experience all come together to produce the most consistent and best quality walkthrough videos out there.

Aerial Photos and Video

Hi, this is Jordan of Hampton Roads Real Estate Photography, and in this video I'd like to introduce our Aerial Photos and Video Serivce, available today as part of our Property Spotlight and Hollywood Packages, or as an add-on to the Quick and Easy Package.

Aerial Photos and Video, or more commonly known drone shots, are the perfect way to show a prospective buyer the size, shape, and location of a property, and is the perfect complement to the traditional set of photos that every house needs. And in conjunction with our other services such as our signature walkthrough videos, virtual twilight photos, and 3D tours, help to provide maximum promotion and exposure on the most popular real estate search platforms. 

Aerial Photos and Video are still new to some agents, so let's all take a quick minute to discover what its all about together.

------------------------

In our area, getting up the air for a higher perspective can have a lot of benefits. For one, many houses around town are either surrounded, adjacent to, or are just a short distance from water. The perfect example is right here in the little neck community of virginia beach, which almost every home has some sort of access to the bay. From the ground, many houses can’t really see the water, but from a hundred feet up, its obvious that you can be just seconds away from launching a boat or kayak. 

In a different example, imagine listing a 50 acre farm. From the ground, you can see that tree line is far away, but from the air you have an immediate sense of the true size and shape of the property, negating some peoples’ misunderstanding of that sort of size of land.

One more case is a normal neighborhood home that might be close to something interesting such as a state park or community focal points such as Virginia Beach’s town center or Norfolk’s downtown area.

----------------------

Hampton Roads Real Estate Photography is proud to be the only local real estate media company to provide aerial photos and video as part of our standard packages, and also give the best value for money in doing so, as some other providers charge just as much for the aerial photos as we do for the entire Property Spotlight Package, which also includes the normal listing photos and a walkthrough video. Thousands of homes worth of experience and over ten thousand aerial photos produced per year mean you are getting the best possible service from Hampton Roads Real Estate Photography.

----------------------

You will find our Aerial Photos and Video as part of our Property Spotlight and Hollywood Packages, as well as an add-on to the Quick and Easy Package, on our booking system at HRHomePics.com

Matterport 3D Tours

Hi, this is Jordan of Hampton Roads Real Estate Photography, and in this video I'd like to introduce one of our most exciting and interesting services, Matterport 3D Tours, available today as a standalone service, or as an add-on to our standard packages.

Matterport 3D Home Tours are an amazing addition to traditional real estate marketing media and are a great way to add a little extra spark to your listing. And in conjunction with our other services such as our signature walkthrough videos, and virtual twilight photos, help to provide maximum promotion and exposure on the most popular real estate search platforms.

In my experience, only about 50% of agents have ever seen or heard about Matterport, so let's all take a quick minute to get on the same page.

------------------------

Matterport is all about giving the viewer an immersive look inside a property. This means dozens or hundreds of 360 photos are taken and are accessible by walking through the house in a similar fashion to Google’s Street View service on the map. You start at the initial tour location and can click to nearby locations, just as you would naturally walk through the house in person. A great point here is that in contrast to normal listing photos, since you have a 360 degree field of vision, there is a lot better sense of how the home’s layout feels. In addition, you also get the function to zoom out and look at what’s called a dollhouse view which is an amazing way to further visualize the layout and how all the rooms are put together. 

-----------------------

With Matterport, you are able to have a 24/7 open house, which is available to walk through and interact with online, in any time zone, and from any location in the world. 

-----------------------

Recently, our local MLS has added the ability to link Matterport Tours to listings the same way that the typical virtual tour page is linked, so nowadays there is a lot better chance that they are seen by prospective buyers than in the past. The Matterport Tours are also flexible enough to be embedded on your own website or linked to Facebook and other social media and marketing platforms.

----------------------

You will find the Matterport 3D Tour standalone service, as well as the add-on option, on our booking system at HRHomePics.com
