It seems like a new article pops up every day claiming the importance of professional real estate photography and video. We all know by now that the majority of buyers start their home search online.

Maximizing exposure of your real estate video should be one of your main goals – you need buyers to find and watch the video. A great way of reaching more buyers is to allow your video to be played from within your Virtual Tour links.
