A partial Pano shoot can enhance your listing.
MLS Photos is currently offering to visit your office or come to your open house to show you what we can do for you and your listings. Not only will I come and answer all your questions, I will bring the gear, show you a tour and slideshow example and show you how we can syndicate your listings anytime.
I love to talk to clients and potential clients and show them the difference between what I do and what other tour companies produce. If you have never used a real estate photographer or mlsphotos.info/pricing.html”target=”_self”rel=”external”title=”Virtual Tours Done Right” >virtual tour company, why not take advantage of this offer. I costs you nothing to talk.
Another service I am offering right now is to come to a Realtor’s Open House and show you and any other Realtors what I offer. If you have me come to your open house, any Realtor in attendance will get the chance to enter a drawing for a FREE photoshoot just for talking to me.
Don’t wait, call me today to set up a time for a presentation!!

Hybrid cars, trucks, and phones. Even computers and other everyday items so why not in the Virtual Tour market?
Just the other day it was brought to my attention that unless your virtual tours contain 360 degree panos they can’t really be a virtual tour. I say “Not True”. The tours offered here at MLS Photos do not have 360’s in them because potential buyers are not spending near as much time on tours as they used to.
There seems to be an opinion out there that the client wants to see the layout of the house through 360’s but in truth, if you ask the clients, they really don’t sit and watch the entire tour that way. How do I know? I ask people all the time.
What is the real key to marketing your properties? High quality images, high quality presentations and syndication are the keys to a successful tour campaign. There are a lot of “Big Box Tour Companies” that will argue this but if you can view HD images in a clean tour that allows you to control the speed and has all the property information at your finger tips, which would you spend more time on?
Take a minute to look at our tours and judge for yourself. We offer a better price, better images, better tour interfaces and STRONGER SYNDICATION!!
Give us a call when you are ready to try a better virtual tour for your next listing.

Several days ago I was reading a blog post from another tour company that said what MLS Photos produces are not tours because we are not currently offering 360’s in our package. This made me wonder “what is a virtual tour“?
While it has been said that our product is “just a slideshow”, we disagree. A virtual tour is simply a display of the property online or virtually. There has never been, or is there now, any thing that dictates what should make up that tour. The reason we choose not to use 360’s is because we feel that images of a home should show it at it’s best, period.
A 360 image can do that if done correctly but most of the tour companies out there do not take the time to blend the exposure across all the images or correct for the distortions that are part of the typical pano image. MLS Photos works very hard to make sure that all the images produced by us are clean, clear and well exposed. Walls are straight, windows are properly exposed and overall the image looks GREAT!!
If that isn’t a virtual tour, I guess that is okay. Whatever you call it, MLS Photos does produce a superior product and we guarantee you will agree once you see your next “tour”.
Don’t wait around wondering, order a tour today and experience the difference for yourself.

Of course they can!! How long does a typical short sale stay on the market? 30 days, 60 days or maybe less depending on the bank. When a property needs to sell quickly marketing is key. No one is going to buy a home that they never see right?
In many cases short sale and foreclosure properties do not get professional photography or virtual tours simply because the profit margin is not great on them but in reality wouldn’t it make more sense to sell it and make a little less than not sell it and lose the listing?
MLS Photos can work with you to get your tour expedited and syndication down very quickly to maximize the visiblity of these properties. We are currently offering a short sale/foreclosure special of $89 for the tour, syndication and we will ad on a free single property website that will get syndicated all over the web as well.
Maximize your visibility, maximize your sales!!
Call or e-mail MLS Photos today to take advantage of this special and tell us it is a short sale or foreclosure to get expedited services!!

Hey everyone. I really don’t have a lot to report this week as far as new things happening with MLS Photos. I am still actively working to get information out to the market here and hoping to talk to more of you directly soon. In the mean time please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or requests for me.
I am told that sometime this month the CPG interface is going fullscreen and high resolution so the images added to it will go from real nice to “rock your world” status but I don’t have an effective date yet on this. Mike at CPG did say it is going to happen soon so I will let you all know when it does.
Aside from that, we are still plugging along in the slow market with the rest of you. The one thing I will say is that just because it is a little slow, don’t forget to market to the potential buyer with as much zeal as you can. If you are not spending much on marketing it may be your demise in the long run.
If you want to get to the closing table, you have to get the buyers in. Marketing is key but I know that some of you just don’t have the free cash to spend.
Give me a call and let me show you what just $79 will buy. You might just be surprised.
