Location, Location, Location

Anyone who has been in or around real estate for any length of time knows that the three top factors in selling a home are location, location and location.

One of those locations is, of course, the neighborhood where the house is sitting.


Today, the second-most-important location is the internet. 



Visibility online is prime real estate. The internet has surpassed signs to become the number two way buyers are finding the homes that they eventually purchase. All homes need to be widely visible on line, not just the ones priced over $250,000. First-time buyers and empty nesters are searching on line – and not for large homes.

On the internet the top three factors for buyers are pictures, pictures, and pictures. A virtual tour of your home is one of the best ways to claim that space – on the net and in the buyer’s head. Buyers want pictures; and they especially want a virtual tour. They want to tour the home without having to spend precious time and expensive gasoline driving from home to home. They want to be able to narrow down which homes they want to give their special attention before they walk out the door. If they have insomnia, they can tour the home at 2:00 am. A buyer can see a lot more homes on line during their lunch break if they use the internet than if they go out driving around.

Four Seasons Virtual Tours, in partnership with Real Tour Vision (RTV), has been providing affordable virtual tours and slide shows for real homes located in Valparaiso, Crown Point, Hammond, Schererville, Lowell and many other communities in Lake, Porter, La Porte, Jasper and Newton counties in Northwest Indiana since 2006. We produce HD, full screen tours that can be uploaded to the MLS and personal websites. However, the MLS isn’t the only internet location where your tour should be visible. You need much wider coverage than that. We also offer our Internet Optimizer package that will get your home on Craig’s List, Zillow, Trulia, Homes.com, and many more sites on line.

Can potential buyers find your listing on the internet? Call Four Seasons Virtual Tours and claim your virtual location on the web.

Is Your Realtor Working in the 21st Century?


With 90% of home buyers using the Internet at some point in their search, and 36% of them saying that they found the home they purchased on line, it’s not hard to figure out that your home needs to be easy to find on the internet. Most of those buyers (80%) also say they want to look at homes with virtual tours.

Where is your Realtor advertising your home? What media are they using?

The sign in the front yard used to be the second-most-reported way that buyers found the home they purchased. (Now it is number three – behind the Realtor and the Internet.) These days that sign had better have a QR code on it so that someone driving past can get the “inside scoop” on their smart phone.

Newspapers and real estate books were of major importance. Today it’s mostly the real estate offices that are using the Sunday classifieds, but it’s thin. The real estate books are ghosts of their former selves. And those ads are expensive. The cost for an individual agent to advertise a home can run $75.00 per week or more for a one-inch ad. In 2011, the listing ad needs to be on Craig’s List.

Four SeasonsVirtual Tours can help Northwest Indiana sellers and their Realtors get the best coverage for their listings with high quality tours at affordable prices. We can also position the tours so that they have the widest internet coverage possible.



Our virtual tours and slide shows are high definition, HDR photography that can (and should) be shown full screen. The tours are interactive so that the viewer can move through at their own speed and in their own way. They can play on smart phones and tablets. The virtual tours provide detailed property descriptions, MLS information, area information and maps. Weekly stat reports let you know how many people are looking at your listing.

We also offer an incredibly inexpensive Internet Optimizer Package. It posts your listing on Craig’s List and updates it weekly for up to a year. The listing is also posted on Zillow, Trulia, Oodle, Lycos, Hot Pads, Backpage, Vast, Enormo and other  real estate websites; plus Facebook and YouTube. An eflyer and a QR code are also included in the package.

Don’t let your home languish in the 20th century. Four Seasons Virtual Tours can help your Northwest Indiana home (Lake, Porter, LaPorte, Newton and Jasper counties) be seen by buyers from all over the country and the world.
