My husband and I own and operate &lt;a href="http://www.pro360virtualtours.com/"&gt;Pro360 Virtual Tours and Photography &lt;/a&gt;in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. After 12 years in outside sales, I had left corporate America to be a stay at home mom. I always wanted to have my own business, but the right opportunity had not presented itself. That is, until I was introduced to &lt;a href="http://www.realtourvision.com/"&gt;Real Tour Vision&lt;/a&gt;. I have a passion for photography and thought about starting my own studio, but the costs involved were more than I wanted to invest at the time. My husband has been a freelance photographer for 20 years, so we already had an SLR camera and professional tripod. Real Tour Vision allowed me to start a photography business for a minimal investment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prior to making the final decision to become a dealer with RTV, I researched for months the various virtual tour options on the market. I found Real Tour Vision to have the most comprehensive and &lt;a href="http://tms.realtourvision.com/tour/RE/tour.view.new.php?utl=RE-9099-M6I569-01"&gt;user friendly tour &lt;/a&gt;in the industry. Then I spoke with current RTV dealers, they told me of a company that is ALWAYS available to help and answer any questions you have in a prompt and friendly manner. I communicated with Jason at RTV for months before making a decision. Without fail, he ALWAYS followed through with what he said he would do. All the way down to calling me the next month in a particular week to follow up. This is something I can truly appreciate coming from a sales background.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We ordered our software and the work began. I set a goal to have a website up and running in a couple months. The dealer pack includes a website template and since I have Frontpage on my computer it was a breeze to build a &lt;a href="http://www.pro360virtualtours.com/"&gt;professional website&lt;/a&gt;. It literally took me about 4 hours of work to have the website up and running. We practiced with the software for a couple of months and opened for business on January 1st. We have customers in various areas of real estate, from real estate agents to &lt;a href="http://activerain.com/blogsview/405131/Virtual-Tours-for-builders"&gt;custom home builders &lt;/a&gt;and remodelers and also a land developer with a &lt;a href="http://tms.realtourvision.com/tour/RE/tour.view.new.php?utl=RE-2266-FFED8Y-01"&gt;town home complex&lt;/a&gt;. The comment I receive the most from customers is that we have the best interface on the market. The 360 view is far and away better for showcasing a property than the typical "slideshow" type programs. The hotspots offered by RTV truly make a virtual tour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last but not least, RTV allows me to have a business from home that I can work around my husband and son's schedule - and it is not a multi-level marketing program. Been there, done that...not again. Thanks, RTV for the amazing opportunity in a growing industry!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lisa Castro&lt;br /&gt;Pro360 Virtual Tours and Photography&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pro360virtualtours.com/"&gt;Dallas and Tarrant County Virtual Tours&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2858901164150401233-6615489764807922068?l=start-business-with-rtv.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://start-business-with-rtv.blogspot.com/feeds/6615489764807922068/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2858901164150401233&amp;postID=6615489764807922068' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2858901164150401233/posts/default/6615489764807922068'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2858901164150401233/posts/default/6615489764807922068'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://start-business-with-rtv.blogspot.com/2008/03/starting-virtual-tour-business-with-rtv.html' title='Starting a Virtual Tour business with RTV'/><author><name>Lisa Castro</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07040677323672415032</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_yj_nuCjxi2Q/R-pqiJbd4_I/AAAAAAAAAAQ/8MpQOuI3jxI/S220/lisa+castro.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
