The value our membership place on virtual tours is quite evident, which is why we’re exploring the feasibility of bringing an extremely cost effective solution to our membership. We believe by leveraging our group size we can offer virtual tours for a fraction of the cost that most are currently paying. Some of the benefits include:

1. Make affordable easy to use virtual tour software available to all.
2. Potential savings of over $200,000.00 a year to our current membership utilizing virtual tours.
3. Create ability to have unbranded tours automatically go to the MLS, while also offering branded tours for all other marketing avenues.
4. Elimination of major data entry by auto duplication of data already reported to the MLS.

There will be a follow up survey in March with some very specific price points and a short tutorial video describing how user friendly and effortless the process is. We encourage all to set aside five minutes to view the video and take the survey. This is your MLS and your views count.
