Real Estate Photography Marketing – New From RPM

As we head into the busy summer season, it’s important to focus on one thing: getting local Realtors talking about you and the services you provide.

What makes your business different from every other real estate photographer or virtual tour provider in your market? What unique services are included with your photography packages? Are you standing out from the crowd or blending in with everyone else?

Successful providers understand that becoming part of an agent’s listing presentation is one of the best ways to generate repeat business. When agents recognize you as a trusted source for innovative marketing solutions, they’re much more likely to recommend your services to sellers and incorporate your offerings into their marketing strategy.

When your services become part of an agent’s standard listing presentation, you’re no longer competing for every order. You’re becoming a valued marketing partner.

One of the best ways to achieve this is by offering services that go beyond basic photography. Professional photography is important, but agents are increasingly looking for complete marketing solutions. By combining photography with tools such as property website software for real estate photographers, providers can offer agents a more comprehensive marketing package that helps listings stand out online.

In addition, utilizing real estate marketing software for photographers allows providers to deliver enhanced services that create additional value for clients while helping differentiate themselves from competitors.

To support providers in growing their businesses, RTV has developed a variety of marketing materials designed specifically for real estate photographers and virtual tour providers.

One example is the BOOST Marketing Services Office Presentation. This updated presentation focuses on professional real estate photography and the additional marketing services that help providers stand apart from the competition. It’s designed to give agents a concise overview of the value these services can bring to their listings and their business.

The presentation can be customized for your local market and incorporated into office meetings, brokerage presentations, and agent training sessions. Consistently educating agents about your services can help build awareness, generate referrals, and establish long-term relationships.

Also included is a delivery signature template that can be used with photography and virtual tour deliveries. This helps educate clients on how to maximize the value of the services they’ve purchased while reinforcing the additional marketing tools available to them.

The goal is simple: give agents more reasons to remember you, talk about you, and recommend your services.

Stand out. Be different. Give agents something worth talking about.

“Success with RTV from a Real Estate Agent’s Point of View
In early 2005 as the real estate market here in the Florida Keys started to slow, I could see I would have to brush up on my marketing skills and find better ways to expose my listings to potential buyers. With so many Florida Keys homes and condos sold as vacation homes, an online presence with great photos and virtual tours becomes essential. A few years earlier I was the first agent in our area to do virtual tours. I had tried the two-shot version but the results were not very good. Then the market got so hot, and properties were selling so fast, there was no real need to have tours. I could see the tide turning and I wanted to add virtual tours back to my listings so I started doing some research to find the best solution. After looking at a lot of low quality tours, I found RTV. Having taken some photography courses in college, and with over 30 years in the real estate business taking photos of houses, I decided to do the tours myself. My first RTV tour was of one of the highest priced homes in Key Largo. Shortly after submitting it, I received a call from a buyer who said his wife had seen a virtual tour on the Internet and she wanted him to take a look at the property while he was in the Keys. During the showing he called his wife at home and told her to look at the virtual tour again. They decided then and there to make an offer. They ended up buying the property. The wife never came to see it until closing. The selling price was $3.7 million.

Since then there have been other situations where a buyer’s partner or family member could not be present but the decision to go forward was based on the virtual tour. Many times in the course of showing one of my listings with an agent from another company, I hear the buyers talking about having seen the virtual tour on the Internet. It seems they find the listings and have their agent make the appointment which results in more showings and sales for my sellers. I have a contract pending on a property which is scheduled to close later this month. The buyers have never been inside the house. Asking price almost $3 million.

In spite of our market being down almost 50% in the number of sales, and the inventory being up almost 50% in the number of listings, this has been my best year ever in real estate with over $12 million in sales so far – and it is only April. Thank you RTV for helping take my career to a new level.”

“RTV, Best Service, Great Products!!!
We opened Photos Sell, real estate photography in January 2015. I found RTV during a search for a portal site so I could send high res images over the internet to my customers. When I called this company I was greeted by the owner himself. Jason LaVanture. Jason explained what RTV was about and what they can do for my new business. Great customer service, training, high res Virtual Tours and much, much more. After I signed up I got all of the above and much, much more. I received excellent training on the system. Instant help from customer support almost never got a voice mail and when I did they always got right back to me ASAP. The product is like nothing else, it set me apart from my competition. Look if your pictures are not good, they will no look good on any medium. I now work for 35 agents and exclusive with two large Brokers in our area. I am busy as hell. I read the complaints on this company and my response to those who complained is: you can’t make a living off the leads you get for RTV. You need to market you self, have a great product and provide great customer service. Look, I am no one special to RTV, just a customer and I have received outstanding service, their web portal works flawlessly and is easy to use and navigate. I can pickup the phone and speak to the Owner any time, he is a great resource and can be depended upon should you have a problem!! Thank you RTV. I prefer not be anonymizes: George Pulizzano, Photos Sell, Tampa, Florida.”

“I became a RTV Full Service Provider after I researched many different virtual tour software solutions and purchased several different packages from virtual tour companies in the industry. RTV wins hands down! Their tours are truly INTERACTIVE and professional quality. Unlike other software that can distort images and give the ‘fishbowl’ effect, RTV offers a superior software solution that forgives even the most amateur of photographers and allows professional photographers to REALLY show off their work. In the last year my company has produced more than 170 tours for both commercial and real estate applications and that number is growing daily. On top of our own marketing efforts, RTV has sent us MANY qualified leads! 95% of all the leads that they send us result in an immediate order! To top the cake, their support staff is ON THE BALL!! A BIG thank you to Torie, Jon, Jacque (tour track), Ben and especially Jason for all of their training, support and attention to detail. I have been known to be a little ‘fiery’ and passionate about my business, but they have always answered my support requests promptly and professionally! I highly recommend their software to anyone who is even considering doing their own tours in-house OR starting a virtual tour company. You simply CANNOT beat the level of support or quality of software.”
