Sharing real estate videos to social platforms, especially YouTube, is the number one way realtors can get not just views but leads. Homebuyers love watching videos. With videos they can stay in the comfort of their own home while exploring the inside of a property. In this article we are going to teach you how to create a real estate YouTube channel in 6 simples steps.
With today’s hustle and bustle, not many homebuyers like to attend open houses because of how time-consuming the process can be. Plus, attending an open house can have a lot of first-time buyers feeling out of place and nervous. This is why the popularity of videos has grown for both buyers and sellers.
