New (Shorter) Agent Video

A few weeks ago, we created a video for agents who express an interest in Help-U-Sell Real Estate and want to know more.  It’s a fine video and says all the right things.  The problem is that it is LONG – a little more than 6 minutes long.  It is fine for an agent who wants to know more, but not so good for prospecting.  There’s a rule about teaser or ‘for-more-information-call’ videos – video’s used to pique curiosity and elicit a response:  once they exceed 2 minutes in length, their effectiveness takes a nose dive.

So, we took the original long video and edited it down to . . . well, just over 2 minutes.  It’s now appropriate for prospecting.  Have a look:


If you are curious, you can view the original 6 minute video HERE.

If you need help adding either of these videos to your website, creating a landing page around them or using them in a prospecting campaign, drop an email to support@helpusell.com.  We’ll be happy to help.

Special! YouTube Channel SetUp and Training

Next Tuesday, June 2, at 9am Pacific Time (Noon Eastern), Alejandro Naranjo and I will be conducting a one hour session on how to setup and effectively use a YouTube Channel to boost website traffic and increase leads.

This is so important today. It is clear that video is search engine preferred content, and that YouTube – owned by Google – is the best place to house it.  More important than the SEO implications, though, consumers – when given a choice – will usually watch a short video before reading print content on a webpage;  so having a place to store and stage video is essential.  Even if you never post anything to your YouTube Channel but your own virtual tours and an occasional video from Help-U-Sell Corporate, you will be improving your visibility on the Internet and increasing the likelihood that potential buyers and sellers will find their way into your pipeline.

In the session we’ll discuss:

  • How to setup a YouTube Channel
  • How to Upload, Download, Share and Embed Video
  • How to maximize the search engine benefit of your virtual tours by hosting them on your Channel (rather than an outside vendor)
  • How to connect your YouTube Channel to social media, your website, even your drip email marketing
  • How to use the simple video editing tools available at YouTube.com
  • And, of course, MORE!

I’m sure it will be a worthwhile hour!  Please use the following link to register for the session:

What Is Full Service In Real Estate?

Ordinary real estate brokers and agents are fond of saying Help-U-Sell Real Estate is NOT a Full Service Company.  They always seem to add at least 3 exclamation points at the end of any sentence that disparages our service! But the truth is:  we are.  We do everything ordinary real estate professionals do, but we do it extraordinarily.  Here is a sort video about this issue:

A Question to Ponder this Weekend

Your house is worth $400,000.  You list it for sale with ABC Realty (a fictional company) for, say 6%.  That’s $24,000.

You neighbor, in a smaller house worth $300,000, also lists with ABC and agrees to pay 6%.  That’s $18,000.

Why did you pay $6,000 more for the exact same service?

Isn’t that like you paying $100 for an oil change at the corner service station and your neighbor paying $60 at the same station for the same oil change?

Time to wake up, America.  Real Estate Brokers who charge a percentage of the sale price as a commission are dinosaurs.

Real Estate should be a fee-for-service business – very much like your dentist’s business – and paying a Set Fee for service is the only thing that makes sense.

Don’t be stupid!  If you need to sell, call America’s premiere Set Fee real estate organization, Help-U-Sell Real Estate, and save Thousands.
