Realtors are often the perfect photography customer. They continually need photos to help sell real estate, but they also have families as well as weddings and other events that will require your professional photography services. Being tied in with a group of local realtors means you’ll be wired into the community like never before.
RTV is one of the largest networks of professional photographers and aerial drone pilots. We get leads in every day from all over the world from people looking for a photographer or drone pilot in their area and we are also contracted by some of the largest corporations to fulfill their national photography and drone jobs. We send those leads and jobs back to you when we get a request for services in your town.
Realtors see each other listings and they frequently interact with each other. Imagine what would happen if you took the best photos of a listing and the listing agent shouted your name out on Facebook, Zillow, Realtor.com, and any other sites those photos are on. Hundreds of other realtors see your name next to your beautiful work. Our system creates this word of mouth marketing for you 24-7.

Virtual Tour Business Testimonial:
“Approximately two weeks ago I plunked down at my desk in my office at the local real estate company for whom I was working and sighed deeply. I was tired and it had been a long day. I had been run all over creation doing all sorts of busy work that no one else wanted to do. I had become the Jane of All Trades for the company and I was exhausted.
Over the last year and a half I had gone from the full time in-house virtual tour provider to someone that all of the junk work was dumped on. Meanwhile, bound by my contract to only do business within my own Real Estate office, I was turning down calls from other local real estate companies wanting virtual tours in the worst way. The frustration was building.
So there I was, sitting at my desk in the semi dark gloom of my cubby when I decided, this is it. I’m calling RTV and that’s exactly what I did. And right then and there I began the journey to startup my very own virtual tour business!
It didn’t take long talking to one of RTV’s sales reps to know that this was what I wanted to do. He was confident in his product, knowledgeable and above all else, he gave ME the confidence to take this thing head on. We crunched numbers together, worked out a tentative plan, discussed marketing strategies and then he wished me luck.
Within a week I had purchased my own equipment and hit the road to do some marketing. Sure, it was scary to give up the stability of a weekly paycheck but already I am thrilled to have my freedom back and to be doing something that I do well and truly love. It’s a pleasure and an honor to represent the best virtual tour franchise out there and I can confidently walk into any real estate office in this area and be certain to sell at least one virtual tour. In the last five days I have sold four individual virtual tours and just today I closed a deal with a rental agency for 10 full service virtual tours! This job can be done and more importantly, it can be done by ANYONE who has the drive to go after what they want and the ability to work well with the public.

I found RTV to stand out from all of their competition.
After hours/days/weeks of research on a business that could help me with my new business venture, I found RTV to stand out from all of their competition. I compared RTV with 2 other popular companies that help you with virtual tours. RTV was a no-brainer to go with. They offered so much more than anyone else. When I contacted Jason at RTV, he returned my calls promptly and answered all my questions very honestly. Now that I’ve made the decision to move forward with RTV, they’ve treated me like family. There has been a lot of time, thought and work put into RTV over the years and it shows. Their software is also user friendly and well thought out. The other competitions didn’t offer half of what RTV does. I’m pretty happy that I made the choice to partner with RTV.

I love this service and so do my customers.
I started using Real Tour Vision about a month ago. Jason and his staff were extremely helpful. Jason took the time to talk to me and email numerous times while I was deciding which company to go with. He helped me purchase the Panono and even chased down the UPS truck to make sure I got it in time for a big shoot I had. The technical staff also went above and beyond answering my endless questions and helping me to get up and running. I love this service and so do my customers. There are so many things it offers that I haven’t even tapped into yet. They really thought of everything. I am very happy with my total experience so far and look forward to working with Real Tour Vision for a long time to come. Thank you, Christine Caso

“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.”
