New FREE Online Real Estate Tool Increases the Power of Newspaper Ads

AudioHouseTour.com ANNOUNCES FREE SERVICE FOR REAL ESTATE AGENTS TO HAVE PROSPECTIVE BUYERS GO DIRECTLY TO THEIR ONLINE LISTINGS.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 29,2004 AudioHouseTour.com is now offering its AudioHT superlink to ALL real estate agents- FREE. The high cost of newspaper ads has forced the realtors to miss the opportunity of linking the ad to the agent's online listing. An agent can now add an 18 character address to the bottom of their newspaper ad to bring the prospective buyer directly to their listing whether its on their own website, their company website or an MLS site. For example if their MLS property number is 123456, adding audioht.com/123456 to the ad would allow the reader to go online and go directly to the listing. The audioht.com/123456 link can also be placed on 'For Sale' signs or emails.

The AudioHT service is available free without obligation to all real estate agents whether they use AudioHouseTour's audiovisual property tours or not. Agents can register by going to www.audiohousetour.com . They may get a new link for each of their properties. AudioHouseTour does not SPAM, use or sell its member list and will not add pop-up or other advertising to the service.

Real Estate agents can become members which gives them access to a script wizard that can be used by themselves or their clients.

"Our goal is to add sound to all real estate sites. Just like pictures and virtual tours have contributed to home sales in the past, the audio housetour enhances the prospective buyer's online experience. Surveys have shown that too much text on a webpage rarely gets read. There is nothing as powerful as the human voice to add emotion to help motivate the visitor to the next step in buying." said Allan Ostrega, the company's president. We understand that a realtor's time is limited, and by having prospective buyer's know all about the home before a serious visit, saves that precious time for both the agent and the buyer. Rather than trying to describe the home over and over to various prospective buyers, the agent can have them see and listen to the AudioHouseTour by pointing them to the webpage or sending them an email link.

Our company provides a one-stop shop to help Real Estate Agents and their firms add sound to their websites, said Ostrega.

This is the natural evolution of the Internet and is a tremendous new marketing tool for the real estate industry . The AudioHouseTour allows the visitor to see and hear the selling point of the property. It directs them to the next step in buying. Adding professional voiceovers adds site credibility and increases sales. We are sure this feature will enhance any website.
