While a Virtual Tour isn’t a substitute for an actual walkthrough, it is an important opportunity for you to showcase your abilities as a seller, and entice the online shopper to take the next step. With Tour Now Virtual Tours, you are in complete control from listing to sale, and all of the features that will make your listing stand out from the crowd are right at your fingertips. You control the content Since you’re taking the photos, you can decide which images are displayed, and which are left out. You can choose to use still pictures (great for bedrooms and bathrooms), wide-angle pictures that pan back and forth (ideal for kitchens and living rooms), and 360-degree panoramic pictures that pan all the way around a scene (excellent for outdoor shots, or large rooms).There are no limits to the number of scenes you can include in each tour, so you’re never held back; show as much or as little as you want. If you choose, you can write text descriptions for each stop on the tour, and use your own selling skills to make the listing stand out even more.

Integrate tours into your marketing strategy
Once a tour has been created, you can link it anywhere you want with Tour Now’s integrated tour linking features (Realtor.com*, Yahoo Real Estate, Your Personal Website, Your Local MLS, or anywhere else online where you market your listings). Once your tours are linked, Tour Now provides you with real-time reports of how many prospective buyers have viewed each tour, as well as a catalog of all of the people who have contacted you through the tour for each listing.

What about offline marketing? Tour Now provides you with a Featured Tour Number for each tour you create. The Featured Tour Number can be printed in your advertising to allow customers to quickly access your tour on the Tour Now website, or on FeaturedTour.com. Want to make a Listing Flyer? The Tour Now system features a handy listing flyer creator, which will allow you to create professional and attractive listing flyers in a matter of seconds, which you can print with your home or office printer. Also, any tour you create with Tour Now can be downloaded to your computer for Listing Presentations, saved onto a disk, or burned onto a CD or Business Card CD to share with interested buyers, or to give as closing gifts.

Follow the life of each listing
One of the biggest complaints about other virtual tour companies is that you tend to get what you get. Once they’ve finished creating a tour, it is what it is. With Tour Now, you can go back and edit a tour as often as you want. The seller doesn’t like the picture of the bathroom? No problem. You can move the stop to the end of the tour, or put in a new picture, or remove the bathroom from the tour entirely.

What if the price of a listing changes? You can quickly and easily make the change right inside the system? What if the listing is sold? You can easily add a tour rider sign on the tour that indicates that it has already sold, and leave it on your website for as long as you’d like as a demonstration of your productivity as an Agent. With Tour Now, you can make as many changes to your tours as you like, as often as you like, from anywhere that you are, with no added cost.
