Planning to sell your home with IHS Realty? Looking for an edge?
Why not create a virtual tour?
By using great photos of your home - starting with photos of the front yard and the exterior of the house and working your way inside and through each room - you can show off all the great selling points. Faraway buyers who cannot make it to an open house will still be able to see inside when you provide a virtual tour.
Why limit your selling options? Why close the door on any prospective buyer? Get the edge you need - use great photos to create a virtual tour of your home.

Even if you link them from YouTube
Yesterday, we ran a short blog post regarding a woman who sold her house on YouTube. Well, actually, it wasn’t her house. It was her client’s house. She was a real estate agent.
Our suggestion was for you to list your house on IHS Realty and run your video on YouTube, linking it to your IHS profile. That’s a good strategy. You can even add a virtual tour onto your IHS Realty listing for just $149.
In today’s marketplace, you’ve got to stand out. So stand out in a big way. Really, stand out in a big, big way.

Never have real estate sellers received so many benefits for so little a cost
(Source) "When virtual tours appeared in the late 1990s, I thought we’d been sold a bill of goods. Then I said it would be good for relos, then for buyers under 50," said John Duffy, broker/owner of Duffy Real Estate in the Philadelphia area. "Now, I think they’ll work for everyone."
John Tuccillo, an industry consultant who was chief economist of the National Association of Realtors in the mid-1990s, said real estate agents and brokers have adapted "admirably" to technological change, "in that they are quickly adopting the personal and business technologies that they need to service the market."
When you list your house with IHS Realty, you get your own web page with 16 photos to help sell your house. When you purchase the IHS Platinum plan, you also get a 5-scene virtual tour. There is no better bargain anywhere in the real estate industry. Just take a look at all the benefits you get with IHS Realty plans and you’ll be impressed. Other agencies don’t give you so much for as low a price. Even other online flat fee services can’t compare with IHS Realty. The benefits are enormous.

Sellers are saving thousands using flat fee MLS
Saving thousands in equity, while maximizing marketing potential seems to be the motivating factor for home sellers that enlist the services of a flat fee MLS broker. Savvy home owners have quickly come to realize the valuable savings advantage offered by these types of flat fee MLS service providers and discount realtors. Flat fee MLS and discount providers offer the same exposure through the MLS and public websites as any traditional agent with the only difference being, homeowners maintain complete control over the showing and contract negotiation process. With flat fee MLS, customers are afforded the same ancillary services such as home warranties, virtual tours, open houses, and broker assistance (usually available for an additional fee.)
