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.

Commercial Real Estate Companies to help your Tyler Business

November 12th, 2010
Tyler Commercial Real Estate Agency

Commercial Real Estate

The steps to purchasing a piece of East Texas Commercial Real Estate are different from those involved in residential real estate transactions. You need to deal with a real estate agent who works within the commercial real estate sector and can be there to offer you any advice or explain terms to you that are unfamiliar. Often the paperwork can be longer and contain more terms that you will want to be clear about before you go ahead and sign anything.

Tyler Texas Commercial Real Estate Agencies

If you do not have a mortgage lender, a commercial real estate agent normally knows the best ones that have a good success rate with lending large amounts of money to first time buyers. Since commercial real estate is often much more expensive than a single family home, many lenders may require certain requirements to be met before they will agree to a loan. The agent can help you find and prepare the necessary documents walking you through all steps from looking for property to signing the final sales pages.

When dealing with experienced East Texas Commercial Real Estate agents, you will know that they have more knowledge regarding whether or not the location you are contemplating suits your company needs. They will also take into account transportation needed for goods, price per square foot and other necessary details that a residential realtor may not be trained to consider. By not overlooking any aspects of your sale, you may find that you were able to save thousands of dollars by the time the deal is finalized.

Tyler Commercial Real Estate

January 12th, 2010

When moving your company to East Texas and the Tyler area it is important to work with a real estate agent you can get along with and who doesn’t have that creepy fake smile thing going on. You want to have a real estate agent that is experienced but also makes you feel comfortable. I had this experience with Matthew Marshall. At the time Matthew Marshall worked as a real estate agent for Perry B. Hall but since then it appears he has moved over to a new company. Finding the right Tyler commercial real estate company allows you to take some of the stress off of the rest of the business relocation process. I was not even aware that he was a principle partner now with a new compnay. I am not surprised that he has moved up because of the great experience both me and my brother had while working with him.

Matthew is one of those agents that stays very busy but he also understands the need to go through the extra effort to look for the details his clients ask for. Some real estate agents will listen to the details you ask for and then when it comes time to delivering they just don’t come through for you. Matthew is not one of these Tyler real estate agents that only appears to deliver on his promises. Matthew Marshall will listen, research and continue to look for the details you require.

When Matthew starts to work for you in finding the right commercial property in Tyler to meet your needs he manages your requirements in with his other clients in a way that each customer gets the treatment they require in the area of, time, in person, on the phone, and in his own time researching what you need. I think everyone has run in to a used car salesman or real estate agent that just seemed to be starring blank with a fake grin and you wondered if they were even listening to what you had to say. I think you will be happy to know that Matthew is not one of these real estate agents and he will actually give you value by using him because he will be able to accomplish what you cannot by filtering through multiple listings in order to find what your looking for. He goes further by finding you the best deal on a commercial real estate building whether you plan to buy the facility or just want to lease it for a a year or more.

His real estate business is called Landbridge Commercial Properties and I think you will be very happy with his work and commercial real estate experience in the Tyler area. If you need more information my brother or I would be happy to explain over the phone some of the things he has done to go above and beyond in helping us out with our Tyler Texas commercial real estate space.

Some of the services Landbridge Commercial Properties Commercial real estate brokerage handles are, the tenant as well as the landlord side of lease transactions, brokering purchases with land, retail, commercial, industrial and investment properties. They represent the buyer or seller for commercial buildings and investment properties. They have designated people that handle land, office, retail, industrial, and multi-family investments. You can contact Matthew Marshall, CCIM at (903) 561-9527.

Tyler Real Estate Companies

September 13th, 2009

In the city of Tyler most people have found that the real estate market is huge in this town. I am really overwhelmed at the amount of real estate agents and agencies we have here. Driving through the Mansions, Cascades, Fairmont, Eagles Bluff, Hollytree and other starter-castle neighborhoods you start to realize we have a lot of health care, oil and gas, small business owners and law professionals that make a good chunk of change in Tyler Texas.

I find myself asking just how many people in Tyler are there that can afford a $500,000 house as our city seems almost overrun with them. It could just be my mindset of seeing this home price tag as way over the top for most people but I continue to ask this question. Well I am glad there are people in our town that can buy a home at this price as it is one of the many components of our healthy economy.

When I moved back to Tyler I did not know anyone personally that was a Tyler Texas real estate agent. I simply called a few numbers on some Tyler Texas Real Estate for sale signs and picked me one. I got lucky because my real estate agent was very helpful and easy to get in contact with. She worked with Keller Williams Realty in Tyler although it appears she has relocated to the Dallas Fort Worth area.

One issue I discovered while searching for a home in Tyler was that some people were trying to sell their home in South Tyler where Old Grande Boulevard was being extended. The issue was that these very ugly large electricity lines and poles were erected right outside their back yards. The road construction would be extending a well trafficked road practically in their backyards.

Some of these Tyler homes came down in price as the year progressed. A few homes were simply taken off the market and the owners chose to lease the home instead. I recently drove down through this neighborhood and pretty much all of these houses that were for sale have been sold at a discount or are now being leased. Looking at the Old Grande Boulevard construction I noticed the nice Rose Rudman sidewalk trails have been extended to border behind these houses with a decent grassy border before the road begins. The road isn’t that wide and it takes away from the eyesore of the electric poles and wires.

To me, this neighborhood near Andy’s Frozen Custard and Old Grande represents a good deal. If you want a nice area of town at a price you can afford you may find one of these owners will let it go much cheaper than a house just down the road. We used Keller Williams Realty and had a very good experience with them. Because our Tyler TX realtor continued to answer our questions, negotiate price, and meet us at different properties we feel confident in recommending Keller to potential East Texas home buyers. If you are relocating to Tyler give Keller Williams a call and see what they can do for you. You can also check out all of Tyler’s real estate agents and companies by visting our Real Estate category.

If you do buy a house in Tyler we would like to recommend Huey Keeney as your home closing Tyler Texas lawyer. Huey has been doing this for years and will get you setup very fast and efficient. His office is great to make the closing arrangements for your home purchase and he goes over everything in fine detail.
