Getting your video on Realtor.com

You’ve created a video on PropertyPreviews.com.

You think it looks great.

You’ve posted it to the MLS and to your broker/agent website.

But have you gotten it in front of the largest trafficked real estate website in the US, Realtor.com?  You want people to SEE the video – that’s why you made it, isn’t it?

Realtor.com does not allow agents to directly post video links to their listings, but we can help you do that automatically.

When creating your listing, be sure to place your MLS ID number in the Property ID # in the LIstings Detail section (see below).  Without it, Realtor.com won’t know to what listing to attach your video.

After creating your video on PropertyPreviews.com, you can “Manage Media” for any listing from your home page.

Once there, you’ll see many options, but we’re talking about Realtor.com, so look for this:

You’ll note there are two prices, one for “Showcase” members, and one for “Non-Showcase” members.  Showcase membership with Realtor.com allows you to easily enhance your listings on Realtor.com with the features buyers want most with up to 25 jumbo photos, full motion videos, open house alerts, and most importantly – multiple leads forms so that buyers can contact you directly.  If you’re already a Showcase member, attaching your video is $5.95.  For non-Showcase members, the fee is $24.95 (because Realtor.com charges us more to post to a non-Showcase member’s listing).    We automatically check to see if you’re a member or not and charge you accordingly.   So just add it to your shopping cart, and you’ll be able to see your cost.   Either way, you’re video is now in front of a very large and active real estate buyers’ portal.

Good luck!
