Single Property Site

Top professional real estate marketing companies will offer single property galleries, or “virtual tours” with the purchase of photography, videography, and other media. These can be shared on social media and other web marketing platforms. They can also be uploaded to the MLS and populate to other sites such as zillow.com, trulia.com, and realtor.com.

A professional marketing company may also offer premium single property websites for your listing. A premium single property site offers more customization and more content than the average virtual tour.

Zillow.com
Zillow is the consistent market leader in the online real estate category. According to their 2016 third quarter report, Zillow said it averaged 164 million unique visitors during that period － up 16% from a year earlier.

Zillow introduced its self-filmed “video walk through” in February of 2016. This feature is available to Premier Agents and is shot entirely through the app. Time-consuming and low on production value, the videos shot on the app surprisingly resulted in “Double the views and double the engagement,” according to a Zillow spokesperson. However, to many it felt like a piece of the solution, rather than the final answer.

In November of 2016, Zillow announced an improved video feature- paid placement for professionally produced videos. For a one-time fee of $149, all agents can pay to have their professional video uploaded to their listing. The video can be a staggering 10 minutes long and contain, “Occasional mention of agent/broker in audio” according to Zillow spokeswoman Amanda Woolley.
