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.
