Getting ready to sell your house yourself? Prepare a Virtual Tour!

If so here is a little advice on how to increase your chances of a successful sale by owner transaction. Every seller wants her home to sell fast and bring top dollar. After prepping  a house and turn it into an irresistible one, the seller needs to market her home by video and photos:

Most home buyers begin a home search online, so good photos and videos are essential. Listings without a photo or with only an exterior shot are often passed over and ignored. Buyers are visual and love to preview home with Virtual tours.

Virtual tours aren't just to showcase million-dollar homes anymore. Every home should have a virtual tour, even if it's only two spins. Buyers love, love, love virtual tours.

• A good virtual tour will grab a buyer by the hand and lead her from room to room, showing a 360-degree view.
• Depending on the tour company, you can add sound, music or an exciting, professionally written description that scrolls with the movement of the tour.
• Virtual tours can also include individual photos available for download or to print. 

Preparing virtual tours does not need to be expensive or complicated. Actually you can do it by yourself and post it on SaleWindow.com for no cost.  By using video, SaleWindow.com allows you to tag your video streams to mark particular sections e.g. Kitchen or Living Room. Also you can remove some video portions by not tagging them, like transition scenes. For example in this home tour one video was taken and sections were removed as necessary.

Garage Sale in the Corporate world for good cause

Why not organize a garage sale at your company  especially over the winter time. This could be a great fundraiser event for local charities. Look through your closets, attics. cabinets, drawers for any unneeded items. Contact you Human resources department to help to organize your event, borrow long tables, find your location and set a date/time. Invite all employees by email for the event to sell and buy. Have the proceeds be split fifty fifty between the charity and the seller. Further the company might be able to match all proceeds that goes to your charity.

Growing needs of personal online sales

Internet sales and auction sites have provided a solid basis for internet commerce but have failed to evolve over the last few years as technology improves. As a result, the growing needs of personal online sales are not being well met with current technologies.

Imagine a member of the public running a yard or garage sale. Using popular auction or sales sites it is very hard due to the volume and details to advertise all the left over items at the end of the sale. Or better yet, perhaps they don’t want to sit around in the heat hoping for somebody to spot their yard sale sign. Using SaleWindow.com members can simply video or photograph all their sale items. Then upload the media and use SaleWindow.com’s “smart tagging” technology to label each item as it appears in the media. That’s it, you are done and your listing is FREE on SaleWindow.com!
