Go Postlet Go!
2008-03-14 23:24:02
I did my first Postlet last night for an agent who has had this listing on the market for over 6 months.  As of tonight at the time of this blog the tour has had 81 hits - today alone!  Prior to the posting there had been only 6 hits this week!  I am thrilled with the results!  Take a look.This shows that just doing a virtual tour is not enough.  You have to syndicate it.  The more people who see the listing, the better the odds of selling it.  With RTV's technology, we can produce high quality, interactive virtual tours that can truly show the home.  Then, with Internet syndication, we can reach a huge market.  Not to mention that this generates high interest leads.  With this kind of marketing available, I just can'...
