Service Providers for Real Estate Videos and Slide Shows
A while back ReelSEO interviewed the CEO and Co-Founder of Wellcomemat. We know that using online videos and slideshows for marketing real estate online can be incredibly effective. In fact, in September of last year, we covered some research which showed that the use of an online video tour in marketing real estate property can increase the perceived value of a home by 6%.
Since then there has been an explosion of real estate online video usage. Well maybe not a real explosion but there’s certainly a good deal of growth. So in classic ReelSEO style we thought it was time for a quick run down of all there is to know about opening doors, showing spaces and then selling them online using video.
