I feel the need to give a Shout Out to RTV! My husband and I own and operate Pro360 Virtual Tours and Photography 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 Real Tour Vision. 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.
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 user friendly tour 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.
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 professional website. 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 custom home builders and remodelers and also a land developer with a town home complex. 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.
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!
