Presenting a Visual Tour for properties is, without a doubt, an essential marketing tool. For BUYERS, it's like a golden key to the city, unlocking homes to view 24/7. For Sellers, it helps put their best foot forward and can bring peace of mind that their home is LIVE, ON THE MARKET, gaining maximum exposure. Prospective homebuyers are finding tours online all the time. Some search specifically for homes with visual tours ONLY. Posting your listings to LOCALISM.com via ACTIVE RAIN, increases visibility as it sails into the worldwide web. Once a week, I update my Sellers with activity reports for their Visual Tours, which are generated from the tour site and emailed to me. It's encouraging and effective. Lately, I've been noticing the slice of the pie chart that illustrates the visual tours that were viewed from people logged on to LOCALISM.com.
My highest compliments to the chef! Localicious!

I "LIKE" Lee County … WAR EAGLE!

Mara, that's a great pie chart distribution showing the total views. I'm surprised that Realtor.com doesn't have the biggest number of views considering it has the highest web traffic. You must do very well driving traffic to your own web site. Congratulations. Localism is moving up and not an insignificant portion either.
I would think this would be the key that send the FSBO running to us! Thanks for the post
Mara, I'm so happy to hear Localism will be back, many consumers read it regularly and then looked to you for help when they needed it.
Great info, Mara! This is the type of info that sellers like to see, whether they're FSBO's or new to the market! Thanks so much for the post!
Mara, Having the numbers, out in front of your clients, is very smart in this market. Nice illustration!
It's a Good Life!

You are the key to great graphs.... I'm going to check this out!
Love the cookies in the borders! I am going to start to do this. I just started Craig's List earlier last week and have seen good results. Bottom line, your tours need to be where the people are!
Excellent idea - putting virtual tours on your listings that you post to AR! I should have thought of that! And you track it too!
That is very impressive... I've received a few calls from localism... I hear the new version is going to be even better- I can hardly wait.
I believe that Localism will be huge in this area soon. Thank you for the good info and chart. Great job.
Is that from Real Estate Shows? Thanks Mara! I will have to follow up on this.
Mara - great way to present the information on the hits for your clients properties! Looks like localism is doing its job and sound like it will only get better soon.
Mara -- Great to see the power of localism.com in a graphic form. We're really looking forward to the NEW localism!
Hi Mara, This is most impressive and it demonstrates what most have said that localism is getting to be a significant competitive tool that we help all us with the local nod when these consumers make a move.
Believe me it works if you use it for what it's for...by the way...this post was featured in my Week in Review so if you are getting a few comments I'm glad.
I am sure that slice will get bigger over time, at least I hope so.
Localicious! Love it! :-)
I have noticed I am # 3 and 4 on google under "Newark Delaware Realtor" after 6 months on AR! Keep up the great work Mara!
This is very interesting. I suppose we can soon add our listings to Localism again.
This is very impressive and your website performs well.
