Making your own real estate virtual tour

Yesterday, the iDesk reported on a creative way people are marketing their homes in this tough economy, making a virtual home tour and posting it online. Now find out exactly how to make your own home tour; click on Hailey Winslow’s video for complete details.

Some of the best online tours didn’t use a video camera at all. They use pictures and animated the photos using a simple editing system.

If you don’t want to create the tour on your own, you could hire a local production company. They can help create curb appeal to your home online.

There is a potential downside to the virtual home tours; you could be giving thieves a blueprint of your home. The video is showing them exactly where you live and where valuable items are located in your home. Before you make your video, you may want to remove items like flat screen TVs and laptops so they’re not shown in the tour.
