Video Killed the Radio Star

As some of you have probably noticed, we recently overhauled our entire website. This is something that most businesses do but once in a blue moon due to the time, effort and costs involved. Knowing that this was going to to be the website we're stuck with for some time—for better or worse—we tried to bring a keen eye towards all the interactive bells and whistles that we all expect our modern web-surfing experience to have.

Web video is one such bell or whistle that we've all come to know and love (except when it helps create phenomena like this). So, yes, we are dipping our toes in the video waters; carefully at first and likely with more confidence in the near future. You can take a look at our videos here. Chelsie Foty, our Member Relations staff representative, helped put together these clips.

The clip with the most relevance to The Skinny and our focus on market insight, is the "Intro to Market Info Tools" video, which provides a quick tutorial on our 5 different research tools—where to find them and how to use them to help answer the burning questions you might have.

Click here to view the video. Anything else you'd like us to make a video on? Let us know in the "Comments" section below.

P.S. The music being played is Les Savy Fav, "We'll Make A Lover of You" from the 2004 album Inches.

Comments

Ask Realtors who come through your door to make a 30 second (or however long) commentary video on the state of the market and or what they are seeing in today's marketplace. If participation was well received, it would make this website an even more valuable resource than it already is.
