Fred Light is the founder and owner of Nashua Video Tours, which provides narrated, high definition property video tours, as well as video agent profiles and community video tours.

Since it's inception in 2005, Nashua Video Tours has produced over 700 video tours throughout New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Southern Coastal Maine. We also offer high dynamic range real estate photography.

All video tours and full size photo galleries are presented in a custom web page for each listing, and all video tours are uploaded to over a dozen real estate websites, resulting in top Google placement for relevant keywords, usually within 1-2 days.

I have been featured nationally in 2007 on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, National Public Radio (NPR) and several articles on real estate video. Upcoming in 2009, I will be featured in a new book published in 2009 by McGraw-Hill entitled "How to Make Money with YouTube" as well as a feature story & video interview on real estate video in the May 2009 edition of "Videomaker Magazine", the leading magazine for video professionals.

    I absolutely agree with Joe Zekas on this one. Sorry. FLIP cameras have their place (talking heads, outdoor shots, etc), but generally are horrible indoors. And only one Flip type camera offers an external mic and I believe it's no longer being made. They're toys. As far as length, I have data from six years worth of real estate videos.... thousands of them.... and people will watch well over 80% of the video... and my videos are 4-7 minutes long. The short attention span is relevant for "cats in the dryer" videos on YouTube, but real estate video is different. It's NOT entertainment and it's NOT the first thing people watch... it's the LAST thing. Buyers search based on their criteria, look at pictures, read descriptions, etc, and if they like what they see and are interested in more, they will watch the video. Otherwise, they skip it. Video is the last thing they look at... and it's a FIRST SHOWING. It's that simple. And they want to see everything, and they tend to watch them repeatedly. Even if they are 7 minutes long. Why? Because they are seriously interested in BUYING the property! It's like a wedding video... if you start to watch a random wedding video, you will probably be bored in 30 seconds or a minute. But if it's your child being married, you will watch it to the end... and probably again and again. Same with real estate video. If you're serious about possibly buying the property, you will watch it no matter how long it is - and scrutinize every inch of it! Real Estate Video Tours http://www.NashuaVideoTours.com

  • I have had several clients

    I have had several clients who have received certified letters from places such as Getty for doing the same thing. I told them all to just ignore the letters. They received several of these notices.... wanting thousands of dollars... and they eventually gave up and went away. DO NOT PAY them any money. It's not really worth it for them to pursue it further than a few certified letters, and I've never heard of anyone actually having to pay. It's mostly a scare tactic in hopes that you WILL pay. Not to minimize the issue of copyright violations, but change out the image to an original image and ignore the letters!

    For whatever it's worth, my father just purchased a condominium. He's also on Facebook. He's also 84. I receive at LEAST 80% of my business through my contacts on Facebook.... maybe even more than that. Facebook is God's gift to Realtors - if you just spend some time to learn to use it properly.
