Arizona Association of Realtors Hot on Video

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

arizona realtors 5The Arizona Association of Realtors “REALTOR® Magazine” has 2 articles in it this month all about online video. Myself and Ubertor have been quoted in both as well as Ubertor client Ian Watt.

Their first article “12 Ways to Incorporate Video into Your Business” references Ubertor’s video syndication functionality that helps agents get their videos onto YouTube, Viddler and our own CombustionVideo.
http://www.aaronline.com/AZR/2010/Feb/Video.aspx

Their second article “Should You Be Vlogging?” opens with a couple quotes from me about the use of online video. From the article:

“Video is the closest thing you’ve got to meeting somebody in real life,” explains Stephen P. Jagger, founding partner of Ubertor, which helps agents develop video-focused websites. “They can watch you, hear your passion for a topic, see your smile. You earn their business before they’ve even met you.”
http://www.aaronline.com/AZR/2010/Feb/Vlogging.aspx

Interested in giving Ubertor a try? You can signup at Ubertor.com and play with the video functionality with no obligation. Your first 30 days are free, there is no contract and new setup fee.
