"Today's homebuyers need more than text, virtual tours and property photos before deciding to view a property, much less buy one. Video is viral and becoming the most important thing people search for online. The real estate industry hasn't adopted this medium quickly enough and needs to think more "consumer-centric." WellcomeMat has enabled our associates to deliver sophisticated, professional videos of listings so clients can see the beauty and feel the energy of homes before deciding to view them," said James Dwiggins, Chief Strategy Officer, Realty World Northern California & Nevada. "We created an exclusive partnership with 415Video of San Francisco to provide videography across our markets. With subsidy we provide 415Video, our associates have professional videos of their listings without paying for them until they sell and receive a commission check. If the listing doesn't sell, associates don't pay for the service. In six weeks alone, video is one of many successful tools we use to market properties and an easy way to ensure our associates become the choice for home sellers.

Within the first six weeks of beta programming, Realty World Northern California & Nevada filmed approximately 100 videos. Over the next six months, the company plans to rollout videos for all listings, including city tour videos highlighting surrounding communities, agent bio videos, and office videos for recruiting. In addition to being searchable through www.homeresearch.com, videos are applied within each MLS and distributed via WellcomeMat's platform, garnering maximum exposure. "Consumers want as much information when searching for homes," said Christian Sterner, co-founder of WellcomeMat. "At WellcomeMat, we understand "web appeal" and are 100% committed to helping brokerages grow their local brands with superior video tools and applications."
