Virtual Showings in Uncertain Times

Virtual Showings in Uncertain Times

The US, and World, is currently going through unprecedented life events that really have not been seen since the 1918 flu pandemic.  Schools are closing for weeks, businesses are shutting down and people are hunkering down at home.  We also understand some sellers are leery of having people tour their home for sale.

Marketing of your listings does not need to stop.  Leveraging virtual tools is a great way to minimize some of these fears, and frankly the online audience likely will never be greater.  To help communicate the idea of leveraging virtual showings, we created a special web page around the ideal. 

Check it out here. http://floorplanonline.com/virtual-showings/

You and your sellers have invested a lot of time and money into the marketing process.  Leverage the FloorPlanOnline tour to showcase your listing 24/7.  In certain markets we have Matterport cameras that can add on an immersive online experience so potential buyers can point and click their way through a listing.  This provides complete transparency and it is the next best thing to being there.  In fact, we have had people buy $1 million homes just by looking at our tour – a physical property visit was never made.

So we highly recommend adding Matterport to your tour.  Just select the option when you place an order.  If you already have a tour, we can revisit the property can create a 3D property scan, or in some cases where we created the initial floor plan with a Matterport camera, we can simply activate the Matterport scan on your tour.  Please contact customer care to enable this feature.

 

Thank You Tammy!

We pride ourselves on providing great customer service, and I just love this letter we got from one of our customers singing praises for Tammy Rutledge, our customer care team manager, as well as the other folks on the care team.

  • Email/Support Ticket – Click here
  • Knowledge Base – Click here.  Lots of articles and we are adding more videos, so start here as many questions are probably answered already
  • Chat – we have both Betty (named after Kris Cone’s grandma, who had a knack for talking to anyone), our Support Bot on most pages on our main website that can answer some of your frequently asked questions, or we have live chat on our Contact page.

If we are not meeting your expectations we would love to hear from you as well.  Each tour has a satisfaction survey link or you can always send us an email and if you want it to go to me, Kris Cone, just put that in your comments and someone will direct it my way.

Thank you Carol Dorey and Team for taking the time to write this great letter – in the day of electronic communication, this was actually a really special note!

Cheers,

Hide Suggested YouTube Videos

Hide Suggested YouTube Videos

We periodically get questions about how to hide the suggested videos you see at the end of a YouTube video.  This happens if you embed the video into your own website, Youtube suggested videosfor example.  It is an easy option to remove these suggested videos.  By default, showing suggested videos is turned ON.  To turn it off, do the following:

1. Select the Share icon below the main YouTube header (in the screen shot it is the street address of the property)

2. Select Embed.

3. Select Show More.

4. Below the Video Size option is a check box for Show suggested videos when the video finishes – Uncheck it.

5. Copy and paste the embed code (it starts with <iframe) which should include the option to not show those videos.  Note you can change the size of the video viewer on your page using the dropdown box.

6. Go to your website and paste the embed code where you want it to show and save.

That is it!

The screen shot below shows  you where to uncheck.   Note, the difference in the embed code to show or not show those videos is just a few characters of text – Do not show includes ?rel=0….if rel=0, then the related videos will not be shown…so if you already have embedded videos you can add that in the right place as shown below in the iframe code examples..

No Videos: <iframe width=”640″ height=”480″ src=”//www.youtube.com/embed/bTTlJvGK9w0?rel=0” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>

Show Videos: <iframe width=”640″ height=”480″ src=”//www.youtube.com/embed/bTTlJvGK9w0″ frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>

Uncheck Box
