Who We Are
Michigan Video Tours is a Metro Detroit based media company specializing in the creation of premium architectural photography and real estate video tours. The majority of our customers are area Realtors who are looking to stand out from the competition, see their properties sell faster and for more money, and who want an edge at winning the NEXT listing in a business environment where more and more sellers are interviewing multiple agents before signing a listing contract.
What We Do
Premium Real Estate Photography – the photos of your listing are the “tip of the spear” when it comes to your marketing program. Whether you are launching an expensive media-intensive marketing blitz with postcards, social media advertisements, video promotion and more…OR…your plan is simply to upload your listing to the MLS at the right price and put the power of the Realtor community to work for you…
…either way, the photography that represents your listings to the public will be the biggest fist that you have in the fight to get that home sold. While most of our competition chooses to use natural-light-only photography workflows because they allow a photographer to zip through a home in 20 minutes or less, we use a purposeful flash/ambient composite workflow typically reserved for architects and interior designers who are willing to spends thousands on a single appointment. The results speak for themselves with even homes painted in dark color schemes coming out looking light, bright, and inviting to every buyer that sees them.
Walk-Through Video Tours – there are many ways to produce a real estate video. We network with other real estate video production houses nationwide and many of them look to cut-cut-cut from one feature of the home to the next. This essentially duplicates what the photos have already done. Showing the features of the house without context. We take a different approach. Consider this…
Buyers looking at your listing online will likely click through the photos FIRST and only after having viewed all of the images will they then click on the “Play” button that they see on the screen. So they’ve seen the “features” of the house in the best light possible in the photos, so what do they want to see next when they click that “Play” button? Do they want to see exactly what they just looked at already but with a little more flash and motion? Is that what they are wanting to see in the video? NO. It is not. They are hoping to see how the house flows and how the rooms connect together. They want to see a “walk through” video tour.
Walk through videos tours do the best of job meeting buyer expectations which translates into the potential to get MORE listings. After all, if a buyer comes to your open house because they saw your walk through video tour and they end up buying the house…they likely have a house to SELL. And if your walk through video tour is what caused that particular house to stand out to THEM…don’t you think that they would want something like that supercharging the marketing of the home that they themselves now have to sell? Yes. Yes they would.
What to Do Next
If you have a listing coming up that you need photos for, video for, or both…the besting thing you can do is to click on the “Schedule a Shoot” link below. Larger homes take more time to photograph and film so pricing is higher for really big homes and less for tiny 2-bedroom condos. We feel that for what we do at the level we do it our service is priced very fairly. Of course, you’ll be the judge of that so feel free to click the link below to see for yourself…
