Testimonials
Video Openhouse, owned and operated by videographers Stacy and Ron Thomas, has given us a whole new perspective on the marketing of properties. The video/photo/electronic production provides maximum exposure in the shortest possible time-frame.
As realtors we are constantly on the lookout for marketing tools which will set us apart. We were immediately impressed with the concept of Video Openhouse. Stacy and Ron provided a high quality video tour, as well as a superb high resolution photo gallery and electronic brochure, all within a day of booking the appointment. At first review of the video tour, our clients were struck by the quality of the photography, and commented that these were the best pictures they had ever seen of their own home. They were also enormously impressed by the time that Ron and Stacy took to talk to them about features of the home and to discover the character of the neighbourhood and amenities it had to offer. Their product proved to be an excellent marketing tool for the property; the video tour is easily accessed by the public through the listing on mls.ca, and we were able to email the Internet link directly to other realtors and prospective buyers. In addition, it was all set in a framework designed to market us, as realtors, to the public. Video Openhouse’s production was an excellent reflection upon us to the public and to our clients, whose house sold over list price the day after our Agents’ Open.
We would like to thank Stacy and Ron for their commitment to excellence. We will be incorporating Video Openhouse as an integral part of our listing presentations and look forward to a long and rewarding relationship.

Dear Gentlemen,
I want to express my absolute pleasure in dealing with your company during the process of establishing my virtual video concept for my website. I had been searching for a service that was willing to offer something a little different, had some flexibility, and perhaps genuinely share in my excitement.
From the first interaction, I sensed this was going to be positive experience after a few disappointments with other providers. The process was fast, reliable, conducted in a professional manner and with the latest equipment. You arrived with a complete understanding of what the public would want to see in the video and what the Realtor would not want to emphasize. After filming, the timeframes were explained clearly but with a compassionate tone for my concerns for urgency in the set-up. In fact, the final video was produced ahead of schedule and it exceeded my expectations for quality. Most importantly, you provided a proper internet feed for 100% view-ability over to the internet audience, (even dial- up) and that is where the others had failed to deliver.
Not too long ago, Realtor sites were a novelty but now they are a prerequisite as web based marketing already out weights print media. As competitive conditions continue it is apparent that there is a need for upgraded and innovative services or simply be left behind. I anticipate you will have found yourself with a strong and forwarding thinking client base that understand the business benefits of investing in the next generation of property promotion. Please include me in that number.
Best Regards,
Jim Noonan
