Real Estate Advertising Tips

If you haven't seen the cool Walk Score widget you should check it out at http://www.walkscore.com/.  You can also add it to your website and blogs by requesting a walk score id at http://www.walkscore.com/tile.shtml

We have recently added the walk score widget to our ClassifiedFlyerAds.com Real Estate Flyers and visitors love it.  Click Here for a sample.

• Click on the icons in the Walk Score map to see how it highlights the matching place to the left.
• Click on a place in the left and see how it highlights the matching icon in the map
• Click on the arrows next to the business type to see others nearby.  For example click the right arrow next to Grocery and you will be presented with other Grocery stores nearby.

We think this is a handy widget that will enhance your online listings and will add value to buyers who are viewing your listings.

Hats off to Walk Score.

Video is one of the latest advertising trends in Real Estate and with good reason.  Creating a real estate video for your listings and then uploading the videos to top video portals can bring your listings more exposure.  We put this to a test with a San Mateo, CA Home video and within a few days this video received over 400 views.  That is 400 more potential buyers who may have not seen this home otherwise. 

Cost for video creation can be as little as $19.99 for a nice photo based video through http://www.classifiedflyerads.com/video-tours.php or $100 and up for a more advanced video with other providers such as http://www.brixnflix.com/planprices.asp

If you have the time and are computer savvy you can also create your own videos using desktop video software such as what comes with Adobe Elements.  Whatever method you choose we suggest adding video advertising to all your listings.  A few good sites to post your videos to are YouTube, Yahoo Video, AOL Video, Google Video, MetaCafe, Propeller and Wellcomemat.
