- OK, so you've decided to use Tour A House to help sell your home with a premier Internet House Tour Video®. First, you should walk the path you want the video tour to take. It is best to start at the front door and video the complete first floor, and then walk up to the second floor. Complete second floor and then go down to the basement, if you like. Remember that when you finally shoot the video, it is best not to start and stop the video tour. Except, for example, when you are walking down from the top floor to the basement. Without the video camera, walk the path a few times. As you walk the path, describe what room you are in and any features you want to point out. Do this until you feel comfortable with being able to complete the whole tour in five minutes.
- Now that you have planned and laid out the video tour, it is time to prepare you home. Clean it and dress it. Remember to take out as much clutter as you can, dust and vacuum all the rooms, and make it look the best it ever has! This is the first impression the folks who are going to buy your home will have of it.
- Time to shoot the video. Remember that the length of your Internet House Tour Video® should not exceed approximately five minutes. You can use any video camera you want, but start with a fresh, new tape so you will get the best picture quality. You can send tapes in VHS, VHS-C or Mini DV format. To get the best quality video you will need to walk your path very, very slowly. When you move the camera when shooting the video, move it very, very slowly. It is important to walk with the camera and move it very slowly when recording your Tour A House Internet House Tour video. When your Tour A House video shows up on the web, it will seem to go much faster.
- After you've finished shooting the video, review it to see if you like it. If you don't, just re-shoot it and check it again. When you are all set, rewind the tape to where your Internet House Tour begins.
- Finally, complete the Tour A House submission form and send both to Tour A House at the address on the shipping label.
After receiving your video, it typically takes between ten and fourteen business days to convert your video to an Tour A House Internet House Tour video and set it up on the web.
