Nice, looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for the videos, that's a great idea. There are a lot of people who want to go on vacation but want to know what it's all about first.

Man, I love these videos. Not planning to ever move to AZ, as I'm a realtor in Atlanta, but I'm watching them all.

Very good idea and well done.

I like the idea of a little additional contact info (though I try to avoid being too "salesy" -- it's just not me).

@Greg - nicely done!

Nice Job, Jay! I have dabbled a little with video, too. It is a learn as you go process that's for sure. If you get a chance check this one out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhrFrAtlWjM

I thought that was a really useful video, especially considering it is a gate community.

The video also allows the viewer to get a better idea of what you are like in the real world and helps turn you into a "real person". I'm off to google "flip cam".

Looks like fun and I thought you did an excellent job - especially if this was your first attempt. And since its a gated community, this really can provide a "real" perspective of the area. I think it should be a big hit with consumers - though I do agree with you, shortening it up a little bit probably would be a good thing. :)

Overall though, nice job Jay! Especially since you are a virgin at making your own video 'virtual tours'.

Well done!

What's-his-name's blog was just talking about how people shop for homes in the real world. He said people start out by driving around the neighborhood and talking to people. This video does that virtually.

Leisure World is a wonderful hidden treasure for 55+ community in the East Valley! Great job on the video coverage. I did this with my flip video on a few neighborhoods and it was so cool. I think your 'Streets of Phoenix' will be a big hit! Keep it going, I'll will be looking forward to it!

When I am more mobile I'm going to shoot some more video. I like the Flip, its easy to use and the video quality is decent. Not bad effects for Windows Movie Maker either. How long did it take you to put it all to gether?

Good job filming Leisure World, and Youtube is great for getting these ranked. Most of all though I smiled when you said it was 109 degrees. I sold homes in Vegas for years and now I am on the Oregon Coast. I think in Florence today it was a balmy 68 degrees, the blackberries are ripe and after I left the beach with my dog my wife and I filled a bucket with nice juicy ripe blackberries.
I miss the desert sometimes, but after 23 years of it I sure do enjoy the climate here. Oh, and the real estate market here is doing much better than my old stomping grounds.
I hope you're doing great in Phoenix though. :)

Bravo!
I just toured Leisure World two weeks ago. Your 5 minutes was way better than my 50 minutes.
I see dash cams in your future.

Excellent, welll done on the editing. Liesure World looks pretty nice, I'm from Chicago so anything with palm trees always looks nice. Looking forward to the next one.

Quote of the video: "...Technically, we're not supposed to film here, but let's see what we can get away with!"

Glad I found this site, I probably never would have come upon such an interesting place otherwise. Leisure world lol. Sounds like a joke at first when you hear the name. Looks pretty cool though.

I think the quality of the video is great. Thanks for sharing!

Great job.
I have been wanting to do this for some time now. I just didn't know how to put it together, now I know. You are a real leader in the real estate world.

Dude, your like a one man google street view! All you need is the camera mounted on top of your car and alternate website of the funny and embarrassing photos that crop up. Seriously, Austin has been street viewed by google and we are using it to show out of towners what an area looks like.

Perhaps like they do on the cable news shows. Have it in the bottom of the frame each time you are on camera.

Thanks folks. It was actually fun to do. They should, one would think, get better with experience.

Charles - I shot it with a FlipCam and edited with Windows Movie Maker that came with the PC.

What software did you to use for editing?

Well done!

Great job, Jay. This is officially the next idea I will be "borrowing" from you.
