I spoke with Jim Noonan (www.jimnoonan.net) today.  We are booked in for a video shoot Saturday morning.  I always enjoy working with Jim.  He knows exactly what he wants and he has some very creative ideas.  Jims videos are fresh and push the boundaries of the standard real estate video.

Here is a great video of a Sub-Penthouse in New Westminster with a 2400 square foot patio that we shot for Jim about a month ago.  Check it out:

I read in yesterdays business section of the Vancouver Sun, an article about a new feature that ubertor has in development that will allow users of any ubertor-driven realtor website to quickly see the location of other ubertor (www.ubertor.com) listings on a map provided by google.  The Sun provided a link to an example on Andrew Hasman’s website (http://www.andrewhasman.com/ViewProperty/115) that had a link to our video for a Richards Street condo literally right beside the comparables tab!  Great exposure for us!

Ron and I were discussing our favourite videos that we have produced earlier today.  My favourite is the Bowser Beach Video (www.bowserbeachhouse.com) that we did for Andrew Hasman (www.andrewhasman.com).  We had produced about 5 or 6 videos for Andrew and he asked us if we would be interested in filming his vacation rental property about 45 minutes north of Nanaimo.  It was an absolutely beautiful day and the shots turned out great.  Ron did a great job editting the video together.  Please have a look and tell us what you think:

Last week we shot a video for Andrew Chan.  Andrew is the owner/broker for Realtyline (http://www.realtyline.ca/).  His listing was on a hill in Mackenzie Heights that had some incredible views of the North Shore and Downtown.  Check out the video:

4333 Mackenzie Street

We originally shot on a cloudy day.  I was glad we were able to go back to the property to re-shoot the view because it was spectacular!  Welcome aboard Andrew!

I met with Richard Bell of Bell Alliance (www.bellalliance.ca) today. We originally met at a networking breakfast held by Remax Crest (Westside).  We were intrigued by his presentation of a novel, paperless approach to providing real estate legal services.  He watched as Ron and I self destructed at our first sales presentation.  Since then, he has really taken us under his wing.  Both Richard Bell and Ron Usher have been generous enough to share their insights into the real estate industry here in Vancouver.  After our first meeting, I began to see how valuable forming strategic partnerships can be.  Thanks Richard and Ron for taking the time to meet with us!

At some point in the last 2 weeks, we produced our 100th video.  Thanks to all our clients who took a chance on a new service and saw the value in our products and services.  It’s amazing how a few months can change your perspective.  In the beginning of March, we were willing to give our services away for free in exchange for a testimonial and more video content for our website.  And to add insult to injury, only 2 people took us up on our offer and they shared the listing!  Thanks Liz and Lori from Remax Crest Westside!

Today we received a phone call from Lee Kellogg who runs a company (www.CAStreaming.com) that produces web-based commercials in Los Angeles.  She recently saw our videos and said that they were the best real estate videos she had ever seen.  She originally asked if we were available to work in the L.A. area.  Now she wants to meet with us to learn more about our production process.  Maybe Ron will get a consulting job for a week down in Tinseltown.
