Tricks
for Showcasing Properties
Google Earth is a free
online resource that can be combined with SnagIt.com (just $40) for real WOW
power; SnagIt allows you to capture and display pictures from the Internet.
Snag four aerial shots
of a property you list from Google Earth-the farthest out photo and three
progressive zooms to show school district and major roads, the entire
neighborhood, and the top of the house.
Agents are advised to
create a PowerPoint home book CD (30-40 cents each) for every listed property to
display all the information about it, including the Google Earth/Snagit pictures
and other photos.
In addition to
traditional print brochures, agents should have the CDs available at the house
so that potential buyers can take one and have all the information they need to
make an offer.
Converting the
PowerPoint file to Adobe (which takes only two clicks) condenses the file into a
lot less space; the Adobe file can be attached to the multiple listing agreement
and to email messages to buyers.
