Using Video and YouTube to Sell Real Estate : The Real Estate Bloggers

Using Video and YouTube to Sell Real Estate

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

As more people are using high speed bandwidth, the smart real estate agents are using tools such as YouTube to put listings on the internet. This McKinney, Texas real estate agent put together a 40 second teaser video that gives potential buyers a view of this golf course home.

I think we are going to be seeing more of this going forward.

  9. Smart agents not only use YouTube but the use of Google Adwords to drive traffic to a page featuring homes for sale can be a very cost effective way to expose homes in a given area outside of the MLS

  10. BUT, YouTube terms of use state NON-commercial use. Hello!

  11. Clarification:
    How can you show a home/real estate when the Terms of Use clearly state that YouTube is for personal noncommercial use ONLY. Am I missing something here??

  12. I am SO glad that I came upon this post! This is excellent! I never thought of this, and I bet there are so few people who are really taking advantage of it! I want to do something like this in my town, if you are the first to offer this kind of service, then you can stand to make a pretty penny!

    Just think…$5-10 per listing! This one may qualify as a hustle!

  13. There are sites out there, such as http://www.AzoocaCapture.com that provide the same service that is (a) open for commercial usage and (b) does not publish the content themselves. You just cut and paste the link into their Real Estate site.

  14. Thanks for the tip Phil. Azoocacapture.com is a great tool.

  15. WOW, If RealEstate agents are using this then they are waisting there time. Please check out SellRealEstateWithVideo dot com and listen to hundreds of agents about this new product

  16. We have a great website for Videos of real estate properties for sale by agents, for sale by owners, and builders. Check it out at http://www.weuuzit.com
    Thanx

  17. I am actually thinking of using something like this next year, and I hadn’t considered YouTube’s non-commercial policy. However, I am planning to do most of the work myself, and nobody (i.e., the U.S. Government, as it were) considers the selling of one’s primary home as commercial activity. If they did, I would be charged taxes on the sale as long as it made a profit. Also, I am perfectly willing to let someone report my supposed commercial use of YouTube. Considering the video above is still hosted on YouTube with no problem, I am guessing, well, nobody cares.

  18. I’ve been using full-motion, narrated videos since 2004 to sell my listings. I’ve sold over 100 properties using video. Check out my sites.

    How-to blog: full-motionvideos.net

    It’s not rocket science. Any Realtor with a little effort can do a professional-looking video tour and get results.

  20. […] Tom asks: Since I run a real estate site, do you recommend using subdomains to target micro-niches off of my main site or use their own domains? […]

  21. An estimated 90% of people would rather watch a video, than read. So how about giving people what they are longing for?

  22. According to the YouTube Terms of Use (retrieved 7/2/2008), uploading an original video to promote your business is acceptable commercial use. See excerpt:

    E. Prohibited commercial uses do not include:
    * uploading an original video to YouTube, or maintaining an original channel on YouTube, to promote your business or artistic enterprise;
