2007 was the year of the Blog....2008 was the year of Social Media....and 2009 will be the year of the Video in the world or Real Estate 2.0.
And the best tool for a Real Estate agent that wants to add video to their blog and to their facebook account and create a youtube video channel is the Flip Mino HD. I got mine a couple of weeks ago and making quick 4 minute video blog posts couldn't be easier.
I had a Sony video camera that cost $400 that I only used to make 3 videos in 18 months. I just finished my 4th video post this month on my local real estate blog because the Flip Mino HD makes it so much easier to download and upload. It takes a total of 15 minutes from the time I shoot a video until I have it embedded into a blog post.
And I am getting direct inquiries from my video posts from buyers and sellers in my market place. So this year I am going to add video to my blog and social networking to increase the reach I have in the marketplace.
UPDATE: I just added this video to show how quick and easy it is to shoot a video and post it on your blog. It took 18 minutes.
Hey, Tony. Very relevant post! I have a v705 but can't stop thinking of the flip hd!
The decorator in me wants to say you have a very sassy office! Is that a home office?

I have the Flip camera and it is great. All the other cameras I had were good but I really didn't want to take the time to use them the way I should have. The Flip almost makes making videos fun, I try to find a reason to use it now.
I'm new to real estate so I'll be reading posts here a lot.

Who pays the real estate agent when a foreclosed home is purchased?
Posted by: del mar real estate | April 13, 2009 at 03:14 AM
Del Mar, The bank pays the commission to the broker they have contracted with to sell the property. If another agent brings the buyer to the table, then that agent/broker is given a part of the commission. That is called a co-broke.
