Jeff Dowler CRS - I used to post YouTube videos of my listings. Now I have started using video in my market reports.

Not to mention using video emails with my clients with a very high open rate and response rate, too.

Planning a video drip campaign.

Virtual tours. Hate being in front of a camera (dispite how amazing I look!), so not going beyond that. Really not seeing the appeal of it. I don't have 10 minutes to watch someone talk about a topic, give me the text and I'll have it skimmed and read in 1-2 minutes max.

I haven’t seen found a win/win approach with video. I see bad video. I would like to implement it but we seem to have better luck with professional still photography.
