Why Toga Tours ? 
I am a Real Estate Agent with years of experience taking photographs of homes, commercial property, and communities. Located in Saratoga Springs NY and willing to travel, I will work with you to identify the qualities of each home and capture it for the virtual tour.
Pictures- I will take high resolution pictures to showcase the best qualities and details of your property. or i can work with your pictures or your client's pictures to produce a virtual tour and add pictures taken throughout the year to show the home during different seasons. Flowers, colorful trees, or fresh snow all add to a property's appeal.
Floor Plans- Your tour can include an interactive flooorplan with multiple floors, these have an indicating icon to show the location of where the picture was taken or allow the viewer to see the location they want to see first.
Online - Toga tours provides syndication to Real Estate websites for greater exposure including REALTOR.COM (free posting with "enhanced" listing)
Faster downloads - For a quick view and continuous stream
Branding - for Company and Agent Branding to bring more interest your way and to highlight your use of current technology available today
Statistics - This is important to see if your marketing dollar is doing what you want and if you are posting to sites and getting the traffic you or your client needs...it is great for follow up consulting and good tool to use when a price adjustment/reduction is needed. Use on Facebook or LinkedIN
QR Codesnew marketing technology 2 dimentional barcade use for smart phone to go immediately to the virtual tour as a client is sitting in front of the property...getting the information on the house the agnet while they are curious. no need to copy a URL down and go to later these code are provided free for brochure use or creating a sign or rider for the house

Brochures - are just a click away... already done for you, save money just print what you need and where you need... save ink and a tree, and maybe some gas too!
How do I use it?
Autorun CD's are optional and once created you can leave a CD at your listing for buyer/agentss to take with them, to help remember the property from the others that have only text or brochures
Place in your email signature file when sending an email to customer or client "Brand" it, and place the pictures in the order you want , this tells a story using pictures in the order you want a buyer to see them in. Ever hear the saying... "Pictures are worth a thousand words"
Have business associates (like Mortgage Brokers.) advertise on cover to help defer cost
What is a Web portal?
A web portal is a site that collects data and redistributes it for information/advertising business
Some are for a specific types of info (like real estate only), or for more general information
Some are national, some are regional....what does it do for me? Advertising in real estate areas on the internet that people will be looking specificly for Real Estate!
Examples you know already are:
Examples of National portals are: Realtor.com (the largest), Zillow, Trulia.com. Move.com, oodle.com, Google.com, MSN.com, Craigslist.com,etc.
Some are for selling advertising, such as “Sponsored Ad” or to other professionals with similar business interest, like mortgage co.’s
Your search engine is a portal, even AOL or yahoo...just look at the sections for cars, entertainment or real estate
How do I get it online?
For CRMLS (paragon) or Kinnexus, just copy the link into the virtual tour field, remember to check it to be sure you saved your upload
For company website: send (email) to webmaster or web administrator. Same if your have a personal web site
It will automatically be posted to Realtor.com, and since many portals use this info, fields will be populated by other portals from either Realtor.com or your local MLS (IDX agreement is necessary) Homeport is a good example of this
Added benefits are
You can purchase as many CD’s as needed
Send a buyers report to customers with the virtual tour
Mail a CD with your business card
Use in your listing presentation to differentiate yourself with sellers
Shows you are computer savy and market knowledgeable
Ok…What does it cost?
$ 99 or less other less ( less expensive options are available with less functionality for the budget minded)
it is hosted online and does not expire
Additional charge for upgrades like, postage/shipping, extra mileage-over 10 miles from Saratoga, voice overs...
Choices of packaging like personalized Autorun CD's, jewel cases with customized labels or CD envelopes, customized labels can contain almost anything from pictures to contact information to other sponser's logos etc.
How do I use the CD?
Leave at the listing for buyers to take with to help remember the property
Personalize it, utilize your branding to your website or the company website, add to your enmail signature for everyone you email to see it (including your Client)
Have business associates advertise on cover to help defer cost
How does it compare to other traditional marketing ….?
Newspapers…tours are online indefinitely, it is on MLS and therefore distributed to other portals aotumatically
Real Estate Books …Typically cost less than one ad! (at least one large enough to be seen), and that is just one month too! -The print media now has their own websites and their Print Media now points to their own website to drive the buyer toward the information online, it can be to your virtual tour!
Brokers open … much less than serving lunch!
Open House Cost ...Lunches or Gift Card give aways are time consuming and expensive...low impact
Personal Image Advertising on websites or other web advertising….Way Less!
Social media is exploding! Facebook and linkedin are great examples...this is a do it yourself advertizing media and what better way to get impact than posting a virtual tour?
Statistically speaking you have the ability to track your views with my virtual tours and find where those views are coming from....can you do that with any on the above marketing? Your cost is only your time...after learnign how it can take as little as 30 seconds to do
Now more than 8 out of 10 people… Start their search online!
NAR Survey says that’s where most buyers and sellers come from now
We can’t be sure which site they use or where they start from but we know the data base they will use, It will be from the MLS, (company web sites) or Realtor.com
To tour or not to tour?
Yes budgets are always tight… but can you afford not too at these prices?
How does your marketing compare to the large budget agent(s) or groups?
With longer Days On Market, can you afford not to?
Can you see a customer eliminating your listing because of lack of information? Or bad photos?
Using a tour…You can saving showing or driving time to tire kickers or the un-committed
Does the use of this technology put you ahead of others in a listing presentation?
How would you do competing against one who uses it?
Remember…
Using a “branded” video tour identifies you and your contact information…Calls come to you from the tour information displayed.
Other personal image marketing can be costly, and hard to count where your calls come from….the tour has a hit counter too.
How do I order?
1. Set up the tour photo shoot time or Get your pictures to add, don’t forget your agent picture or company logo, etc. if i don't have them already...consider email as an option.
i have a electonic key and you need not accompany me if schedule does not permit. i do prefer to have you accompany at least the first time and if there are hazzards like agressive pets or disgrutle tenants etc.
2. Send or email to tom@togatours.com or Call to Tom order, 518 469-6747 Include info like MLS # and desired contact info for tour cover page, agent picture..builder's logo...and Site name, etc.
