OPTIONAL TOUR FEATURES (additional fees apply)

  • Additional 360 images per location - $15
  • Additional stills at same location - $7
  • Narrated Audio Tours include complete in-house scripting services and broadcast-quality, professional narrations over pleasing background music. The popular Audio feature holds a visitor’s interest, and it has been proven that visitors view more photos on a Virtual Tour with a professional narration. Audio really provides the emotional appeal, and the “sell” with each image, providing you with a significant competitive advantage. If an Audio Tour is selected, each 360 ° image within that Tour must have audio, including “extra” 360 ° images”… i.e., for a 4- 360 ° image Tour, all 4 scenes receive audio. Each clip is promised to be 8- to 12-seconds in length, but is rarely under 18 seconds per scene--the more complete the notes you provide for each image, the richer the script. When the Audio feature is ordered, directions will also be emailed to you upon submission. Audio Tours will go live without the audio component once the Tour has been completed. If ample script notes are provided, the audio will be then be added to the Tour within the next 24 hours (excluding weekends and holidays). $10 per room.
  • Agent Profile Audio is a one-minute, professional narration promoting you. We will edit the one-minute script you provide for length, content, taste, grammar, and narrative impact.  This narration will be added to every one of your Virtual Tours. The audio can be heard by the person viewing the Tour in two ways: The play button can be clicked on the lower right corner of the Tour; or, should the consumer not voluntarily select to learn more about you, this same narration will play when the “Audio Slide Show” button has been clicked (there must be at least two still shots to create this slide show). Price includes script editing, narration, background music, placement of the audio on each Tour, and the cost of bandwidth for hosting this fairly large file. $49.95 per year.

Virtual Tour Expiration/Extension : Virtual Tours expire 180 days after the Tour has been completed. You will be notified via email one week prior to the Tour expiration, and you may opt to extend the Tour for additional 180 day periods.
