New Virtual Tour Packages Available for Yakima Real Estate Listings - Realty Tours Northwest of Yakima | Yakima Real Estate and Homes
Virtual Tour Package
Now Includes The Same Syndication and Promotion as the "VIDEO Tour Package"
Includes a 60-90 second virtual tour of the property. The virtual tour is formatted as a Youtube video. This is still very effective for gaining more exposure to your listing vs. photos and Google will also index the virtual tour in their search results. We use the virtual tour in our syndication process as well to help ensure it gets the most exposure to your listing. Another advantage is that many of the real estate classified sites have a link to the virtual tour (as seen here on frontdoor.com) which is noticeable and stands out among the other listings.

Unkept Homes Cause the Value of Surrounding Houses to Tank | KIMA CBS 29 - News, Weather and Sports - Yakima, WA - Yakima, Washington 29 | Local & Regional
YAKIMA - It gives a whole new meaning to horrible neighbors. You know what I'm talking about, houses filled with weeds, chipped paint, and garbage everywhere. They're definitely hard on our eyes, and as Action News found out, even harder on our property values.
Multimedia
Watch The Video
KIMA talked to a resident named Laura who asked that we didn't reveal her last name. She said she's very concerned about the dwindling state of her neighbor's homes.
"All of this is just absolutely terrible," she said.
Laura lives on Fifth Avenue, and although she takes good care of her property, she said the opposite is true when it comes to the residences around her. She said it makes her feel helpless.
"It makes me feel really bad," Laura said. "But what can I do"
The issue goes far deeper than how the area looks. Laura said the run down appearance of homes near her are causing her property value to plummet, and unfortunately, the amount of those cases are on the rise.
"When one person starts this, it snowballs," she said.
Realtor Jerry Mullen said he empathizes with Laura's frustration. He said he's seen first hand how much the houses nearby can impact the worth of your place.
"If your home is right next to a home that is trashed, has junk cars, washing machines in the front yard, it's going to impact the value of your home," he said.
Mullen said it's hard to put a number on the exact financial impact of the issue because every case if very different. He said he's seen anywhere from a five to 20 percent drop in value, and in some cases.
"It can make it extremely difficult to sell your property," he said.
KIMA called the Yakima Office of Code Administration, and they said the best plan of attack for these neighbors is to call their office and report it as soon as possible. They do get anywhere from 5,000 to 6,000 calls a year, but said they look into every one of them.

How To Sell Your Home On YouTube
Does anyone ever go to YouTube to look for homes for sale?
Probably Not!
So why would you want to put your real estate listing on YouTube?
Because 85% of all people looking for homes for sale start their search online.
So where do they start their search?.....GOOGLE!
Google just so happens to mix VIDEOS, IMAGES, BLOGS, MAPS and many other web results in their search criteria. As Real Estate Video becomes the newest and most effective form of marketing real estate.. you will begin to see more VIDEO results on every real estate related search.
Now think about this.......YouTube is the #3 MOST visited website in the world....more people visit YouTube than any of the Social Media websites...including Facebook or Twitter.
What does that say about people and what they will "click on" when there is a video to watch of a Real Estate listing?
Yakima, WA and Realty Tours Northwest provides options for getting your listings on YouTube and over 200 other websites across the globe.

Dare To Compare! | A quick real estate syndication challenge | Yakima Real Estate and Homes
Why is Video and YouTube so important in your real estate marketing strategy?
- Let's try this little challenge to see how many times your real estate listing or ANY current market listing without Video can be found on Google. My research shows that most FSBO listings generally show up on about 2-4 websites indexed by Google.
- Now let's try a listing submitted by a Realtor via IDX/MLS. Okay...great! Now we're talking 5-10 websites indexed by Google, i.e..Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com, Local MLS..etc. This is better.....no doubt.
- Finally, let's try doing a Google search for a property that has a YouTube video like in the example above. Clearly you will see that there are over 35 different websites across the internet where you can find that listing.....and the video was uploaded only 3 weeks ago! You will also notice that the video has been syndicated by 3rd party News Feeds and Blogs.
- So what does this all mean? It means that a "Listing" with a video can show up in targeted search results. Try doing a general Google search for real estate in your local market....(such as yakima real estate) and notice that those results will NEVER show an actual listing for a property. The only way to have a property listing show up in a general real estate search is to put that listing on video.
