2009 Exposure Engine:(New E-Flyer, Smart Phone Tour & Local Portal Submission) What good is getting a virtual tour from anyone if it is not seen by the largest audience possible? A Big reason home sellers use a listing agent to sell their home is to get that maximum exposure only a listing agent can bring to the table.

Our virtual tour and listing exposure is so far ahead of our competition that you will be amazed at the traffic you’re getting when your weekly hit reports come in.  We even send hot leads your way as your listings generate questions and comments from interested parties!!

The Exposure Engine allows real estate agents and local business owners to do what they do best and that is list homes, sell homes, and conduct everyday business while not getting their hands dirty with the online promotion of their listings and products. That's where we come in.

The Exposure Engine creates many back links to the virtual tour. In the end, this means that our virtual tours start building natural rank on Realtor® name, and listing address. That’s right…when you Google any of our customer names or the addresses of their listings, you are more than likely to see their virtual tours popping up organically in the search engine results pages.

Your listing & tour will appear on Craigslist, Googlebase, Trulia, Zillow, YouTube, AOL Video, FaceBook, Google Video, Oodle, Lycos, Local, Hot Pads, Vast, Properazzi, Dot Homes and more!  Listings pushed to our exposure engine receive on average 40% MORE viewings than those that are not. We even keep your listing refreshed and updated until your listing is sold!

Furthermore our interactive virtual tours are pumped directly into the social bookmarking sites!! That's right, now you can bookmark your virtual tour to
Digg, Delicious, Furl, FaceBook, FriendFeed, MySpace, BackFlip, LinkedIn, Reddit, Twitter, StumbleUpon, Technorati,  Mixx and Bebo with just the click of a button directly off of your virtual tour!!!

We also
has direct access to the PicturePath™ distribution portal through Realtor.com which puts your listings onto 83 additional national portal sites.  You WILL get more viewings when you use our exposure engine and PicturePath portal than you would if you simply added listings into the MLS and company site alone.


We're not done yet because our new 2009 Exposure Engine is now including our E-Flyer and Smart Phone Tour. The E-Flyer is an HTML email-ready flyer that our customers can easily send out to prospects anytime they wish. You can preview a sample E-Flyer HERE.

The new Smart Phone tour allows real estate agents and local business owners to carry with them at all times their virtual tour on their cell phones for an on-demand preview. See our new Smart Phone tour HERE.

Finally...and saving the very best for last, we are proud to introduce our all new local Northern Michigan real estate and virtual tour portal, www.TourGrandTraverse.com. Every new virtual tour completed by BlueLaVaMedia gets published to our local Blog portal which allows home shoppers, locals and literally any internet visitor to preview our entire virtual tour inventory with the click of a mouse!

If blogging each and every one of our virtual tours was not enough we even allow visitors to our blog to take advantage of our new Northern Michigan Virtual Tour Feed which will automatically email every new virtual tour posting.

To subscribe to our virtual tour feed simply visit www.TourGrandTraverse.com and sign up on the right hand side of the website or CLICK HERE.

Virtual Home Staging (Only $60.00 Per Room!)

 

BlueLaVaMedia is very pleased to announce our all new virtual home staging product. We will take any unfurnished room and stage it to your taste and style for only $60.00. You're able to choose the furniture from our online furniture library below. Ordering virtual staging for one of your properties can be done by giving us a call by clicking on the "Buy Now" button below.

Home staging is frequently employed by homeowners and real estate agents to help show properties to their best advantage. We all know that a staged home shows better than an empty home. As wonderful as traditional home staging is there are some drawbacks.

This is where virtual home staging really shines. Virtual home staging is the process of taking digital photos of empty rooms and inserting digital furniture, window treatments, and other decorations.

The attributes of each property are enhanced by the staging, rather than showcasing the taste of the homeowner. Virtual home staging costs a fraction of a physical staging and is a great tool to help showcase the home to prospective buyers. Most people looking for a home search the internet first and having a beautifully decorated home captures the interest of buyers and motivates them to schedule a showing with a real estate agent. Photos of empty homes are not as impressive as a staged home and may not help a potential buyer make an emotional connection to the property. Start virtually staging your vacant homes today!

Interactive Floor Plan Services: For floor plan pricing and ordering Click Here

Floor plans allow home buyers to even more easily visualize the design of the property.  Both our 2D and 3D floor plans are created by using original blue prints and if the home has already been built with just a quick visit to the home we can have all of the data that we need to create professional quality plans at an exceptional value.

BlueLaVa Media just made 2D floor plans even more informative and compelling.  We combine the floor plan with beautiful photographs of your home which brings properties to life and helps viewers visualize them more accurately.

When the user places the mouse over a camera icon, a small photograph appears over the plan, illustrating the room pictured. By clicking on an image the photograph can then be expanded to full-screen size. Viewers can also watch a full 'slide show' of all the photographs of the property.


2D Floor Plan Sample With Photos:



The BlueLaVaMedia 2D plans clearly displays the layout of a property but our 3D plans go even further by adding stock furniture and transforming your floor plan into three dimensions. Three-dimensional floor plans are powerful and innovative tools both on the web and in printed form. Your three-dimensional floor plan can be shown with or without furniture – whichever you prefer.
