Help Support Ukraine

Help Support Ukraine

Ukraine needs your help.

If you would like to support either the Ukrainian soldiers fighting the fight of freedom, perhaps for the world, or help displaced FloorPlanOnline production and development personnel and their families, we have links to a couple of funds created.  There is also a link to UNICEF and a petition for a no fly zone. All donations go directly to the people that need the help most, including Dmitry and his daughter who has a leukemia-like blood disease that requires expensive treatment and medicine.  We appreciate you sharing with as many people as possible.

 

No Anticipated Service Impacts.

We have a long history with Ukraine – we have a production and development team located in the country, thankfully over 4 hours away from Kyiv (and in the opposite direction of Russia), but nonetheless, our people there are certainly going through something we as Americans will likely never see.  We have diversified our production capabilities over the years to where we actually have more people that can produce tours outside of Ukraine than inside – over 150 people available outside of Ukraine. In fact, we have people in 5 other countries that are working on producing virtual tours, and we are looking for another location so we can increase our production capacity and close the production gap we currently have in the late afternoon. So operationally, we do not expect any impacts, and we actually look to increase our turnaround speed for the busy season with 24/7 production. We have even expanded options recently, adding custom services such as virtual staging and voiceovers.

This is what a leader looks like…

 

If you have not seen it, you should watch the video of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appealing directly to the Russian people.  His wife is a screenwriter.  I wonder if she wrote it, as I regard this as one of the finest speeches I have ever heard.

Free Leads on Top sites with the FloorPlanOnline Tour

Free Leads on Top sites with the FloorPlanOnline Tour

The hot real estate market continues in most area.  So, the question often comes up: Why do I need anything other than photos in such a hot real estate market?

Answer: We can get you free leads from your tour on the top real estate search sites like Zillow, Realtor.com and Redfin through our patent-pending process called Brandkeepr.

Brandkeepr automatically converts your unbranded tour you put into the MLS into a branded tour on these top websites.  The result?  Your photo, logo and our lead capture form shows on the tour so you have an opportunity to get the lead, whether it be for a buyer, or a seller looking for an agent to market their home.

 

Does it work?  You Bet.

Our tour differentiates you at the listing appointment first, and then online. After all, you need to get the listing first, and our tour can help you Win the Listing by “WOW-ing” at the listing appointment.  We give you these free tools to help win that listing:

So buyers and sellers see you and your marketing of properties. This makes you stand out from the masses and that is the first step in Winning the Listing.

Then, we help you Winning the Sale.  The 3D Walkthrough Tour includes everything buyers need to make offers sight unseen, which increases the buyer demand, and therefore the price, and reudced the time to sell.  Check out the testimony from Valerie, one of our long time clients, who leveraged the listing to get a new client – the client saw the tour, loved it and wanted it to sell her own home, and then Valerie helped her downsize.  

The message here?  You never know who is looking at their tour, and their motivation.  And, just uploading photos to the MLS will not give you free advertising leveraging the top sites like Zillow.  The FloorPlanOnline tour is the ONLY tour that can show your brand on your tour by automatically converting that unbranded tour to a branded one!   It’s free advertising for you!

 

As I can attest, FloorPlanOnline can help you get more business.  

I received a call from a potential buyer who saw one of my listings online.  While the home sold quickly and she was too late, she was so impressed with my marketing presentation, powered by FloorPlanOnline, she not only hired me to sell her high-end home, but I helped her buy her new one, too. That one listing was responsible for an additional $2.5M in sales.

I would not have gotten the new client by providing just photos.  This buyer specifically called me based on my FloorPlanOnline presentation. That’s why the FloorPlanOnline platform is my go-to team for creating amazing content for my sellers, as well as a tool for new buyers through its HomeDiary integration, which can be a channel of new business too.

AI-based Professional Voiceover

AI-based Professional Voiceover

Introducing Professional Video VoiceOvers.

We can now create a professional sounding voice over for any of your selected videos using a text script either you, or we, write.  Starting at just $50, you get up to 3 minutes of audio for your video.  You can also add the audio to multiple videos we create, including the free Slideshow Video.

Just listen to the professional narration for this 3D Walkthrough Video below created with our VoiceOver Service.

The cool part is you can listen to one of 8 available voice avatar voices and then select the right voice for you and your listing.  Just click the Play button under each person below to preview the available voices speaking the same marketing text.  You will notice some speak things just a little bit differently, and you can’t tell this is not a real human speaking!  The magic is in the artificial intelligence text -to-speech processing engine that converts that text script into a professional voice over.

Just read and listen to this paragraph at the same time, as narrated by Jeremy, to see how we bring text to speech!

Or listen to all of our available voices.

Don’t have time to write the script?

We added an option where we write the script for you based on your key talking points and other info from the tour.  It’s just $50 extra for us to write the script for you, up to 3 minutes of total audio created.  Even with this, our voice over service is much more cost effective than other options that start at $150-$200 and take 3 days to complete.  We will turn around a first draft within 24 hours or less, and you get 2 free edit opportunities.  So save some money and write the script yourself, or save some time, and have us write it.

To add a voice over to one of your videos, just visit our VoiceOver Service page by clicking below and complete the form to add the voice over script or key talking points, and we will get started enhancing your video!

Post to Instagram from your computer

Post to Instagram from your computer

You can now post content like photos and videos to Instagram using your computer.  In the past, you had to use your mobile device to post, even though you could view from a computer.  With this change, it is much easier to download and then upload the video.

Add a Video (or Photo)

 

Download your slideshow video (which is under the Marketing Center) or the custom video you received to your computer, and then click the + icon and upload it into the post, like you see here.

Adjust the Video

 

Once you select your video, it will show a screen like you see here. If you do not have a square video (e.g. resolution at 1000×1000 pixels), you will have an opportuity to crop the video by moving it to the right or left.  By default it center crops, so in this example the address is right in the middle which works fine.

If you ordered a social media video from us, it is already in the right resolution.  If you ordered other videos, we also provide a social media version, and we will be adding a social media version to the Matterport Walkthrough Video as well.

With this crop option you can download the slideshow video and upload to Instagram. Add our voiceover service and you have a pretty cool video, or get the social media video for an optimized version.

Set the Default Image View

 

Once the video is uploaded you can then select the preview image when the video first loads.  Just drag the slider on the right to a scene and save to update the image.

Customize the Post

 

 Add some explanation text and adjust other settings and post.  One thing to add is text to tell people to turn the audio on, since it plays off by default (even though there is a setting for this). If your video does have a voice over, we suggest selecting the option to generate the captions as they will help with hearing impaired people, and since the audio is off by default, it can help still communicate the information in the voice over.

The end result is a post that looks like this.  You can even embed it on your own website or blog or send along in an email blast.
