PowerSite Profile: A Great Example of How To Add Video to A Single Property Website

Michael Cohen

Michael Cohen

Alain Pinel Realtor Michael Cohen regularly adds video to his single property Websites as seen in this listing: www.15debesranch.com.

The Website provides details about a San Rafael, CA 4 bedroom/3 bathroom single level ranch home. Michael creates the homes aerial video with HoverEffect.com, a company that uses remote controlled helicopters to get high quality aerial photography and video. The video provides a comprehensive and complete view of this beautiful home, expanding the capabilities of a traditional single property Website:

With so many homes on the market Michael is clearly taking an extra step to make sure this property stands out. The video, along with many other examples, is also accessible via his YouTube channel. When you consider the many other features that are standard with our single property Websites (social sharing, Facebook integration, unlimited full-screen images and the ability to add documents to name but a few) there really is no better way to market a home.

More and more agents are following Michael’s example. Coldwell Banker agent Therese Militana Valvano (see www.221judsonave.com) and RealtyTrust agents Molly McAllester-Tarpy and Susan Harris (see www.712thomasglencircle.com) have added video to their PowerSites and have also included links to other listing websites and a Facebook business page. Therese uses the AgencyLogic Facebook application which guarantees immediate and effortless updates whenever she changes content on her single property Websites.

If you’re interested in hearing more information about our single property Websites or Facebook business page design services, or just want to know how to add a video to your Website, contact us! And remember with our subscription service you can create unlimited single property Websites for a low monthly fee πŸ™‚

Realtor Blog Post: Why I Will Not Be Deleting my Facebook Business Pages

(Consumers will find the following post either very boring or an interesting look inside baseball. My point of view is less of a selling broker and more of a manager of 20+ licensees.)

Chris Smith, AKA Tech Savvy Agent, has authored a gutsy article on Inman entitled You Need to Delete Your Facebook Business Pages Immediately. The subject is controversial for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that Chris himself has been one of the biggest proponents of business pages you’ll find. The post has already garnered almost 100 responses, and on the face (sorry) of it, seems blasphemous.

Blasphemous perhaps, until one considers the state of the average business page. The average fan page is a dormant embarrassment that acts as a spam magnet, with no significant updates from the actual owner in a dog’s age. Frankly, I wondered aloud why Chris specified business pages only and didn’t also include dormant blogs and static websites with the same “under construction” message since the Bush administration. I have to smile when I stumble upon a blog that was last updated in March of 2008 after 6 posts. Is the person still in business? Do you think a consumer wonders the same thing? They do. They tell me.

Want to make something happen in real estate? Do something…regularly.

The only thing that succeeds purposely from inaction is the fermentation of wine. The rest of human endeavors require you to vacate the resting upon the bum and getting into action. And if you can’t type a few words, then please, yes, delete the page, because it does more harm than good. And when I say “page” I mean blog, business page or whatever else you have floating out there collecting dust (and spam). This is not to save bandwidth, it is to save your credibility.

J Philip Facebook Business PageOur main business page is updated virtually daily via the Networked Blogs application that sends my blog content over. Another niche page has already yielded a deal with another pending, and gets over 1000 impressions per update entry. Both invite new registrants to our IDX home searches, and those inquires are distributed to our associates, who have an edict to follow up but never pester. And spam is zapped by the Administrative Goddess. I do not point to myself as an authority. I will not write a book. But neither will I redact my content. It is dynamic and works, because I work it. If you aren’t working it, take Chris’s advice. You won’t get heat from the stove because you installed it. You get heat from the stove because you put wood in. Chop chop.

Nothing works unless you work it consistently. If you want to make money by waiting, start a winery. Otherwise, work your stuff.

Suggestion (and unsolicited pimpage): for a totally kickass business page, contact mi hermano Stephen Fells at AgencyLogic, and they’ll build you your own little corner of awesomeness for a really reasonable rate.

Editors Note: The best surprises are the unexpected ones! Westchester Realtor (and AgencyLogic single property Website client) Phil Faranda posted this on ActiveRain yesterday. Much appreciated – thanks Phil! πŸ™‚
