Live Video Showings: The Next Best Thing to Being There
ShowingTime LIVE Video is Real Estate’s First All-in-One Showing and Video Platform, Enabling Agents to Bring Buyers into Homes Virtually Using the ShowingTime Mobile App for an Authentic Showing Experience CHICAGO -- June 15, 2020 -- Real estate technology firm ShowingTime, whose systems facilitate more than five million home showings each month across North America, has launched the real estate industry’s first all-in-one live video showing platform within its mobile app to give agents an interactive solution to bring clients into homes: ShowingTime LIVE Video. Integrated with its scheduling platform and currently available to 32,000+ agents in select MLSs with nationwide availability in June, ShowingTime LIVE Video equips agents and their clients to take part in live video showings without needing to download additional apps, providing an authentic showing experience. "Having the tools to set up and host video showings from one common platform makes sense," said Triad MLS Chief Executive Officer Richard Renton. "Our members already use ShowingTime to schedule appointments, so it’s another step forward to equip them with this option. We anticipate they’ll want to take advantage of ShowingTime LIVE Video." Following the introduction of a "virtual showing" option within its showing management products in early April, ShowingTime has seen tens of thousands of showings conducted virtually. The company anticipates that those numbers will increase dramatically with ShowingTime LIVE Video. "Since it first became clear that COVID-19 would have an impact on real estate, we’ve been dedicating as many resources as possible to help agents operate effectively," said ShowingTime President Michael Lane. "Stay-at-home orders are forcing agents to seek out creative ways to show homes to buyers. We developed ShowingTime LIVE Video to make their jobs easier.” Unlike photos or 3D tours, live video showings enable two-way communication so serious buyers can ask questions and see the parts of the home they’re most interested in. Once a video showing appointment is confirmed, the agent visits the listing at the scheduled time and conducts the tour while their client participates from home. “From the same familiar system agents use to schedule showings, they simply tap the 'Join LIVE Video Showing' button in the ShowingTime mobile app to start the appointment for their clients. A live, one-on-one showing experience is as close to an in-person showing as they can get," Lane said. Video showings conducted using ShowingTime LIVE Video offer the same opportunities for engagement on the part of prospective buyers that they’d have with in-person showings, he added. "We’re excited about ShowingTime LIVE Video," said Global MLS Chief Executive Officer Laura Burns. "Making this new tool available to our members will help them continue serving clients as New York State works through the phases of operating and social distancing requirements for real estate services." ShowingTime has rapidly rolled out several product enhancements in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent shelter-in-place restrictions enacted throughout the U.S. and Canada. Along with the introduction of ShowingTime LIVE Video, the company has been providing daily updates on the impact of COVID-19 on showings – nationwide and in most states/provinces – which can be accessed at showingtime.com/impact-of-coronavirus/. Since late April, showing activity has continued an impressive turnaround after an historic spring collapse, led in part by loosening restrictions and an increasing rate of adoption of technology, with more and more agents conducting showings virtually. Twenty-nine of the 44 states and provinces tracked by ShowingTime’s COVID-19 tracker have exceeded their showing traffic numbers from pre-pandemic peaks in March. About ShowingTime ShowingTime is the residential real estate industry’s leading showing management and market stats technology provider, with more than 1.2 million active listings subscribed to its services. Its showing products and services simplify the appointment scheduling process for real estate professionals, buyers and sellers, resulting in more showings, more feedback and more efficient sales. Its MarketStats division provides interactive tools and easy-to-read market reports for MLSs, associations, brokers and other real estate companies, as well as recruiting tools for brokers. ShowingTime products are used in more than 370 MLSs representing nearly one million real estate professionals across the U.S. and Canada.

In May 2016, in response to strong demand overseas, the company expanded internationally, announcing local availability in Australia, Canada, and the UK. In July, the company acquired Virtual Walkthrough, a London-based company specializing in virtual tours for residential and commercial property. Matterport now has customers in more than seventy countries, with the international market accounting for more than twenty five percent of the company's revenues. According to a Matterport customer survey fielded in August 2016, eighty-eight percent of customers stated that Matterport helps them to build a stronger brand in the marketplace, seventy-eight percent stated that they are more competitive because of Matterport, and seventy percent (n = 204) commented that they win more business because of Matterport.

"The volume of immersive 3D content created by our customers is unparalleled, and we've been excited by the myriad of industries leveraging 3D and VR content today to fuel their businesses." Real estate professionals have been early adopters of immersive media. Matterport's technology has been credited with fundamentally altering the real estate buying process. Matterport is already working with agents from seven of the top ten brokerage firms including Keller Williams, Sotheby's International Realty, and ReMAX. "Matterport is changing how real estate is bought and sold, and is setting the new standard for what is expected. Their realistic digital representations have enabled the '24/7 open house,'" said Gregg Lynn, a top 1% producing agent with Sotheby's International Realty - San Francisco brokerage. "I am getting significant benefits, in terms of winning more clients and listings and offering superior results for those clients." Multifamily housing is another industry adopting immersive media. Rental community owners and managers use Matterport Spaces to engage and inform prospective renters during their online search, and have experienced significant gains resulting from Matterport. "Apartments.com added Matterport Spaces to provide renters a richer and more informed experience in their search for a new home. Renters who engage with Matterport Spaces spend 2.5 times longer on the property listing and are twice as likely to submit a lead. Ultimately, property managers benefit greatly by receiving more qualified leads," said Fred Saint, President, Apartments.com. The travel and hospitality industry has also embraced the real life visual representation that 3D and VR provide to showcase their properties to guests and corporate clients. Industry leaders such as Vacasa in the US vacation rental space, and Lodgis in the French apartment and vacation rental space, are both customers of Matterport. "We provide Matterport's 3D immersive experiences as a standard feature to our homeowners and guests at no additional cost," says Vacasa founder and CEO Eric Breon.

Other media organizations using Matterport include The Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal. "Working with Matterport has allowed us to engage with our readers in an entirely new way by shaping an immersive experience," said Mae Cheng, publisher and editor-in-chief at Mansion Global, a Dow Jones publication.

RealBiz Unveils New Programs and Video Enhancements
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL - (May 27, 2015) -- RealBiz Media Group, Inc., is pleased to announce that after several months of development, the company has rolled out key upgrades to its agent and enterprise video platforms. PowerAgent now includes a unique lead generation program for its agents. A member of PowerAgent can select a property they want to feature by clicking the Promote a Listing button, enter the amount they want to spend and the feature is automatically enabled. Initial testing results indicate that for as little as $200, an agent will generate between 50 and 100 genuine leads for their property on sale. Of key note is the favorable pricing structure offered by Promote a Listing as agents within the industry commonly pay other services between $20 and $65 per lead. The "Promote a Listing" platform delivers exclusive leads at a fraction of the typical current market rate. While this upgrade will target the 1.4 million registered real estate agents in the U.S., of greater importance is the ability of the product to work for the roughly 800,000 agents who find themselves throughout the course of the year without a listing. The Promote a Listing platform allows these agents to select a property in their local area and promote it (in compliance with local MLS rules) so they can generate potential buyer leads. For a very affordable price, agents can now create awareness, enhance their consumer reach and potentially generate both buyers and new listing opportunities by utilizing the product. This is a significant breakthrough for the company as PowerAgent has largely completed its build and is able to deliver on the 3 L's for real estate: Listings, Leads and Loyalty. In short, PowerAgent now offers a complete ecosystem for agents with: LISTINGS - Access to millions of video listings that they can enhance through tools like the ezflix app. LEADS - Lead generation and social media awareness through Promote a Listing and ReachFactor. LOYALTY via Home & Away Club points program and the Nestbuilder Agent App. Additionally, the company is proud to report the launch of its new and improved video application which is currently being phased into its large enterprise and broker Micro Video App (MVA) accounts. The new videos incorporate many changes and improvements to the creation process of the videos to automatically integrate text overlays, animation expansion, as well as music and voice over solutions. Additionally, there are now upgrade options available for an additional cost that will allow enterprise clients the capability to produce beautiful HD videos, advertising insertion and print capabilities. These technical upgrade enhancements greatly improved the quality and the user experience of each video. "We are anticipating that we will initially add over 200 new agents utilizing Promote a Listing each month. In our first year we are targeting to have several thousand real estate agents utilizing a cross section of our products and paying monthly fees to increase their productivity." said Alex Aliksanyan RealBiz CIO/COO.

RealBiz Media Group, Inc. Premier Mobile App, Ezflix, now available in iOS App Store
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Feb. 4, 2015 -- RealBiz Media Group, Inc. today announced its unique mobile platform for real estate agents and brokers, Ezflix, is now available for iOS devices through the App Store. Ezflix allows agents to create their own video content to display with listings for clients. The Ezflix platform auto-generates video for over one million listings and makes those available for agents to view and share through social media channels, over text and via email with their prospective clients and customers. The auto-generated videos are HD capable and come with a natural human voice over appended. The system also allows agents to create local content which can be shared to help elevate their digital brand. Agents with upgraded access to Ezflix have the ability to significantly enhance their listings with live video, updated photography and audio enhancements, such as personal voice overs. These advanced features allow the agent to tell his or her story about the home and neighborhood. Ezflix is a powerful tool that agents can use to set their clients' properties apart,while giving consumers unique, local information about the area of interest. The upgraded access also provides auto-generated support collateral and a number of other marketing tools, including syndication to large real estate portals, which helps promote the agent and his or her listings. Brokerage firms can also take advantage of the Ezflix app through the Broker Solution which unlocks all the Ezflix features for their agents. Additionally, it gives the broker more branding opportunities within listings and creates content players for the office. All of these benefits are supplemented by a significant organic SEO boost for the office through Ezflix's stream of rich media content that becomes a part of the broker's URL, allowing for significantly enhanced domain authority over time. Enterprise clients have much the same opportunity to leverage the power of the Ezflix platform with their agents and brokers by empowering them to not only enhance their listing inventory, and therefore sell more properties, but to employ their professional work force to create valuable local content and "crowd source" content from the community either in the form of video or still photos. Ezflix will integrate with other RealBiz platforms to allow agents to earn points for their marketing actions, enhance their customized personal client ecosystem and build customer loyalty. According to a recent survey, 90 percent of home buyers and sellers would use an agent again, yet the majority does not remember their agent's name when it comes time to buy or sell their home. The company's Home and Away Club platform addresses this by creating a customer loyalty and retention solution. The company has several pending contracts for the Ezflix app that were subject to the iOS release and now anticipates thousands of agents will begin utilizing the app this quarter. The Ezflix app can be downloaded in the App Store for iOS devices or in the Google Play Store for Android devices. For more information on Ezflix, visit http://www.realbizmedia.com.

Properties In Motion® Real Estate Listing Videos System Launches Nationwide for Firms and Sales Associates
Michael Minard, President of Delta Media Group, announced today the launch of Properties In Motion®, a comprehensive new listing video solution that raises the bar for real estate video marketing. Minard led a development team that spent months building a listing videos solution created to meet a glaring need in the industry. "Last year 86 percent of online home shoppers used property videos to learn about a specific listing. 70 percent used property videos to tour the inside of a home," said Minard. "We have spent an extensive amount of time programming to create a completely reliable turn-key solution that builds SEO value and brand recognition for real estate companies while meeting the needs of their online consumers." Delta's heavy investment in the development of Properties In Motion® has paid off in the form of a completely hands-off system for real estate firms and sales associates. Here is a brief snapshot of how Properties In Motion® works for its customers: Delta receives listing data from the Multiple Listing Service. They then create an HD quality video, which is published to the real estate professional's YouTube™ channel and optimized for search engines. Delta then embeds that YouTube™ video on the customer's desktop and mobile websites. These videos display at the top of each listing web page, above the listing images and detail information, so website visitors can't miss them. Because of Delta's industry knowledge and technical expertise in handling real estate data, the Properties In Motion® system has been built in a way that allows for seamless property data integration with no third-party involvement. The platform includes a unique algorithm that tells the system if a new video needs to be produced. This algorithm allows for automated listing download, listing updates, error-checking and automated embedding on the customer's website. On the front end, Properties In Motion® video quality is unmatched in the industry. The system includes full HD resolution support and displays properly on mobile smartphones and tablets. "Many competitive solutions do not offer multi-device support, thumbnail selection and quality music," said Minard. "Our listing videos system does." In addition to it's front-end capabilities, Properties In Motion® also brings a strong Search Engine Optimization (SEO) benefit that other competitive video solutions do not deliver, due to the way in which the videos are produced and embedded online. Minard explains how Properties In Motion® stands above from the rest when it comes to Search. "Unfortunately, not all listing videos offered by the competition are embedded properly so that SEO can work its magic and convert leads for your company," says Minard. "Delta's listing videos are built right for SEO. Our videos will help search engines find your listings when consumers search by address or neighborhood. As they do, they'll have the opportunity to connect directly with you." Because Properties In Motion® videos are directly embedded on company listing detail pages, users who search are more likely to navigate directly to company sites than to third party portals. The videos can also be shared socially via YouTube™, enhancing branding and social marketing initiatives. Jonathan Blood, Delta's Vice President, is excited about how this product launch will help the real estate industry with their marketing video strategy and branding efforts. "Delta takes something that many in real estate are already doing and ensures that their listing video strategy is executed properly," says Blood. "We have experienced video marketing and design experts who consult with real estate professionals to develop a video strategy that works for their company." The product's pricing model includes affordable tiers based on their number of listings and also can include additional a-la-carte services such as custom template design and YouTube™ channel development. Delta had launched Properties In Motion® a few months ago for several of its key customers. This soft launch proved to be a success as the platform elicited very positive feedback from the early customers on it. Cyndi Tampa Cook, Director of Marketing & eBusiness at RE/MAX DFW Associates in Dallas, saw a positive impact right away from being on the system. "Immediately after going on Properties in Motion®, we started seeing individual listings on Google's™ page one rankings," said Cook. "Because of this, it has provided a whole new level of exposure for our agents and their listings." Old Dominion Realty, of Harrisonburg, VA appreciates the value Properties In Motion® brings to their recruiting efforts. "Properties in Motion® not only helps us market our listings, but it also helps with recruiting and retaining sales associates. They love the personalized branding that comes with the videos, which serve as powerful tools for our associates to attract new listing clients," says Jessica Phillips, Marketing Director. Michael Minard is happy about this feedback and proud of his development team's efforts. "We are amazed at the fantastic response we received from our customers on Properties In Motion®," says Minard. "It feels good to have the Delta Team work hard on a product to make it the best in the industry and then see customers respond so positively. This response validates that our hard work has paid off. I truly believe we have hit a home run with Properties In Motion®." For more information about Properties In Motion®, visit www.propertiesinmotion.com.

LAUDERDALE, FL, May 5, 2014 -- RealBiz Media Group, Inc. is pleased to announce significant progress towards becoming the leading online video listing provider to the real estate industry through its website and unique enterprise video product solutions. Since the beginning of 2014 and its national rollout of its website, www.Nestbuilder.com, in combination with the advancement of its automated video product solution for agent products, the company has built the foundation for becoming a premier digital media company. RealBiz Media has partnered with leading data providers in the real estate space to provide listing data for their video centric portal NestBuilder.com. These suppliers have the largest data sets available.

The market opportunity, just within residential real estate, encompasses 12 major national firms, over 10,000 major broker offices and 1.1 million agents. RealBiz Media Group is deploying a multi-prong strategy targeting national enterprise agreements and monthly recurring revenue subscription agreements from offices and agents.

VScreen Launches Automated Listing Video Platform for Brokers
  ORLANDO, FL, April 21, 2014 -- VScreen announced today the launch of ListingVideos.com, an automated and data-driven Listing Video service for real estate brokers that dynamically tells the story of all their listings via professionally animated video and graphics, serving as the new industry replacement for the expected "property slideshow" and "virtual tour." Exclusively available to brokerages, the Listing Videos program dynamically generates videos in 'real time,' automatically pulling the listing description and photos from the MLS, while adding in animated 3D graphics, professional narration and branding for the listing agent and the brokerage they represent. The innovative Listing Video's platform also leverages other consumer interest scenes within the videos, such as; estimated monthly mortgage payments, local active inventory, median listing price, and median sales price...plus community information that buyers look for like the property's corresponding school district, geographic location and walkability score. During the setup process, the broker has the ability to select which scenes they want in all of their videos, as well as include a video sponsor to help offset their monthly investment (pricing can be found on ListingVideos.com). "We built the Listing Video's platform to overcome the biggest killer of real estate video - the high cost of production and lack of scalability," said VScreen CEO Stephen Schweickart. "Following the successful launch of our last automated video portal, MarketVideos.com, it was clear to us that there was also a need for the same automated technology to be used for the mass creation of Listing Videos for brokers. This was made evident by how quickly we were able to sign up multiple launch partners, including the likes of Carolina One, Prudential Texas, and Century 21 Scheetz." The service also offers the ability to locally brand with community specific video or imagery from the broker's marketplace, as well as share on social networks and capture leads directly through the video player. For more information, visit ListingVideos.com or call 866.720.0204.

RealBiz Media Initiates Beta for Next Generation Microvideo App
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL--(Dec 23, 2013) - RealBiz Media Group, Inc. announced the introduction of its upgraded Microvideo App (MVA). This enhanced agent marketing product will have several new agent tools and video products that can greatly enhance the real estate agents ability to market both their properties and them. Agents will be able to customize their MVA by selecting enhanced content such as "how to videos"; community events; discount coupons; open houses information; market, community, and service information; news feed videos; and even self-promotional videos which they may then push out to their client bases. Such unique messaging delivery systems increase agent SEO presence through video usage as well as community market authority through client and partner referrals. Customization will be done through the Companies "agent only access" website using a simple drag-and-drop process prior to emailing/social sharing their MVA. The site will also include an agent community with individual agent pages and profiles that can be customized and shared on a permission basis. "This product upgrade has several layers of personalization that will engage our agent clients as well as captivate the imaginations of their real estate clients. We are committed to providing functionality that makes such high-tech/high-touch communications readily accessible to real estate agents -- and easy for them to navigate and deploy," said Steve Marques, President & Chief Revenue Officer. "The MVA technology delivers private-labeled real estate broker branding. Agents may then personalize their own sites." During the next several weeks, the company will be beta testing the new features with real estate agents and consumers. RealBiz anticipates deploying the agent-only platform in late January with over 250,000 agents pre-populated into the system. As part of the deployment, the company will be offering agents complimentary access to the "Home & Away Club," including $500 Rewards Dollars for travel and leisure lifestyle opportunities. In conjunction with its previously announced association with I.C.E., agents may use the Rewards Dollars themselves or pass them on to the consumer.

Over the course of 2014, we expect this number to grow to 15 -20 million unique visitors per month." This product upgrade increases agents' accessibility to the power of video outreach. They may build their client bases with or without active listings and can easily target specific market segments. While video has been seen by agents as being too complicated and expensive to use in client generation, the MVA's drag-and-drop ease gives agents a host of marketing options to build relationships with past, present, and future clients. Relationship marketing tools will be expanded during Q1 2014 to include additional content distribution points including a video centric consumer experience with agent promotion capabilities.

We created Agent Image TV because we wanted to provide a convenient service that makes it easy for agents and companies to add video to their online marketing. Our videographers come to your location of choice and then the footage is edited, made searchable and uploaded to YouTube or Vimeo within days. Online video is naturally viral, and when maximized effectively, our property and agent videos have the power to convert a search into a sale for any real estate professional.” “When developing this product, we wanted our clients to be able to do more than just add the usual video to their websites,” adds Jennifer Gunkel, Director of Client Relations and Social Media, at Agent Image.
