Tyler Real Estate Marketers Turn to YouTube

October 6th, 2011

I have been looking at Youtube lately to see how this website has influenced the local real estate industry in Tyler Texas. I have always thought that promoting homes for sale through video is one of the best ways to utilize Youtube for business purposes. Another good way to use Youtube is to promote cars for sale through the use of it. I have used Youtube to sell my car by videoing the car inside and out and revving the engine. I then placed the link to this video on Ebay and received over 10,000 unique views to my ebay listing. I had people calling everyday and had no problem selling it. Real estate offers a similar ability to promote a local real estate listing although you cannot ship a house out of state like you can a car so there will not be as many unique buyers. What you will find is that many people are trying to relocate from out of state or out of the city and may actually commit to buying a property without ever setting foot in it simply by looking at a detailed walk through video hosted on Youtube.

Below are the top Tyler Texas real estate agents and companies that use YouTube to promote their listings.

The Michael Tolbert YouTube Channel – The guy in Tyler Texas that is really killing it the most with YouTube real estate marketing you may have never even heard of before. His name is Michael Tolbert and works for Heritage Land Realty. He beats everyone in Tyler regarding total channel page views of 651 and 3,909 total video views. Several of his home for sale videos have over 100 views a piece. As I look through his home for sale videos I see these video view numbers per video, 179 views, 169 views, 158, 160, 123, 97, 95, 85, 82, 63. You can watch his most popular home for sale video below.

The Pamela Walters Group YouTube Channel This channel offers several referrals from happy customers and some questions about why you should choose The Pamela Walters Group for buying or selling a home in Tyler. This YouTube channel has 17 videos, 316 total channel views (which is simply the main page of their YouTube channel where all of their videos are listed). The channel views does not give a complete representation of how often their videos are watched but if you look at their total upload views they have had 1,154 total views on all their videos since their join date of Oct 21 2010. Below is one of the most popular videos on the channel.

The Beverly Rowe YouTube channel seems a little unvisited as they only have 73 channel views and 48 total upload views eve though the channel has been up since Sept 17 2009. This real estate agent could really use the help of someone skilled in promoting YouTube and getting more eyeballs on the channel. At this time her channel has two videos that are in a commercial slideshow format that show pictures of Tyler and Jacksonville with music and title text in the background. At the end of the video a call to action is made for people to call to speak with her about real estate needs. These commercials were likely done with some of the nifty slideshow movie creation services available on the internet such as Animoto. In order for her to get more viewers she should consider subscribing to related channels, becoming friends with people on YouTube and making more videos showing home walk throughs of houses she is trying to sell.

The Living in Tyler YouTube Channel is done by Jonathan Wolf who is a Remax real estate agent since 2002. His total Youtube channel page views is 165 and his total overall views of all his YouTube videos is 462. He has 12 videos in his channel and his most viewed video has over 100 views. The video is a walk through of the house both insde and out and gives a good indication of what the house is like if you were out of town and needed to shop over the internet. His channel was created September 20 2008.

The Bob Sells Tyler YouTube Channel is another local Tyler realtor marketing on YouTube. His channel was created June 24 2010 and his total channel views are 103 while is overall video views is 264. It appears he has only one video and it is of a house with a pool. He shows as having affiliations with Keller Williams Realty – TylerRE/MAX. His video is a nice walk through of the house with music, slideshow and call to action to call him at the end. I was able to get a real good feel for what the house is like in every room. This was a very nice $325,000 house for sale in Tyler.

The Russel Enright YouTube channel is one of the best ones I have seen although the views are about the same as the others. His most viewed video has 98 views and in total he has 18 videos on YouTube which is more than any of the other realtors. He uses a video service called Realbiz360 to do his home walk through tour videos. His top video was a Lake Palestine lot. He also has videos of homes for sale as well with comprehensive walk through. His channel page has 142 views and his total video views is 419 for all of his videos.

The REMAX Impact Realty YouTube Channel has 9 videos but in total these videos have been watched 32 times. Although the realtor has done a lot of video work they have failed to get the kind of exposure they need to their YouTube channel. Getting eyeballs to see a website or web page is not easy but it would help if this Youtuber spent more time subscribing and friending other local Tyler Youtuber’s as well as embedded these videos on their own website if they have not done this yet. Here is their most popular video of a home for sale walk through in Tyler with only 8 views.

The Burks Team YouTube channel has a pleasant blue background color and some high quality video customer referrals. Their channel is recent as having only been created since July 5th 2011. They have 26 channel views and 62 total views of all their videos. So far they have only uploaded 4 videos. Their most popular video referral has 23 views and is a review by Ruby. On a separate YouTube that does not appear to be controlled by the Burks Team there is the Glenn Beck endorsement of the Burks Team. I have included the Glenn Beck video as well below.

Home Mortgage Lending in Tyler Texas

PRIMELENDING Tyler TX Home Mortgage Loans

Professional Mortgage Associates in Tyler TX

A few short years ago there were quite a few sub-prime mortgage lenders. At that time my credit score was just starting to look somewhat decent and for me a sub-prime lender made the most since. I ended up being ready to get a home mortgage right as the sub-prime bubble burst and was unable to score the loan I wanted based on my credit score and work history.

I eventually was able to get a loan for a Tyler Texas home but it took a lot of shopping around and talking to different lenders. When trying to get a loan through a bank they usually like to have some type of established relationship with you but there are other choices such as lenders who specialize in home mortgage loans.

Today I took a look at a couple Tyler Texas home mortgage lenders and found some details for those who may be shopping for a place to give them a home loan. Primelending specializes in offering all different types of loans and even home loans most others do not even try to get for their customers. For instance, I found out Primelending of Tyler routinely helps veterans with VA loans while most other mortgage lenders simply do not want to deal with the hassle of these because the money just isn’t there.

Primelending also does FHA and USDA home mortgage loans and quite a few other options. If you are looking for choices regarding your home loan in Tyler Texas I recommend checking out this place as it may speed up the process of trying to get that loan you have been wanting. I need to mention that I have not been paid to mention Primelending as a home mortgage company I like and so this is strictly my own opinion from the research I have done. I hope it helps.

I also stopped by and took a look at another home loan company in Tyler Texas called Professional Mortgage Associates. This company also specializes in finding multiple loan options for those relocating to a new Tyler home. This company handles shopping for USDA rural housing loans, VA Texas vet loans, conventional loans, and FHA loans.

Professional Mortgage Associates mentions that they will help you avoid the pitfall of falling for a teaser home mortgage rate. Their website has a few great resources that may help you such as testimonials, the loan process, mortgage calculators, and a loan application right online.

Feel free to give either company a call if you need to begin shopping for a home loan in Tyler Texas.

The Establishment Apartments and Duplexes in Tyler TX

March 4th, 2011

The Establishment Apartments
If you are tying to find a place quick to relocate to in Tyler Texas I feel your pain especially if you are on a time crunch and are out of town.

Let me say first that I am not getting paid to recommend The Establishment Apartments but have been so pleased with this place that I can’t help but write something good about them.

I have probably lived in about 5 different apartment complexes in my lifetime and my family members have lived in a few themselves.

Like most people you have probably heard a fair share of complaints regarding ho apartment complexes have treated people you know.

Sometimes the problem is with rude management and other times it is really bad maintenance workers.

At The Establishment apartments in Tyler you get extremely professional highly competent management and sales staff.

The apartment complex caters to the family and elderly type s it will not be a party college student atmosphere.

The staff are very good about judging who they acept to move into their apartment facility and this proved to be one of the biggest benefits to moving in to these apartments.

Another positive to this apartment complex in Tyler Texas is the spacious rooms and the price.

The price is a little bit higher than some of the comparable apartments in the same area but the people living there, the pest control, staff, and swimming pool area are far better then what you get at the other apartment facilities.

We have recommended some friends to The Establishment since we lived there and they moved into their duplex and have experienced similar positives related to their home and the management that they did not have at competing places in the Tyler area.

I give a 5 star thumbs up to The Establishment apartments and recommend those who need a place fast that are relocating outside of Tyler TX to pick the place that will leave you with no regrets later on.

P.S. The Establishment is in the heart city center of Tyler Texas where just about everything popular people visit in this city seems to surround this complex. The convenience alone makes this place the best choice at the right price but having all the other positives puts this place in the Tyler apartments hall of fame
