Zoomf Blog - UK Property Blog.

Listing photos are important, I’d hope we all understand that by now, but virtual tours are seriously where it’s at if you want your listing to stand out from the others.

The showing of a house is one of the most important parts of the marketing process. Naturally, if you can give a prospective buyer a walk around the property without them ever leaving the comfort of their computer screen then you’re going to be at an obvious advantage.

I’m not implying that a virtual tour could ever replace a real viewing, but it could be that icing on the cake that secures a viewing in the first place. By the time a prospective buyer even calls you up, they’ve already had a 360 degree view of every room and have decided where the TV will go. And clients who have mentally moved in are the kinda people you want to be dealing with.

So, you’re convinced. You want to be one step ahead of the other agents in your locality and be pimping properties with stellar virtual tours. How do you go about it?

Luckily for you, Zoomf has partnered with smokin’ hot digital-imaging company iLOOKABOUT to offer cutting edge virtual tour photography. iLOOKABOUT uses the most up-to-the-minute technology to capture images in the most authentic and accurate way possible, seriously we have been very impressed by what these guys can do.

We love 1000Watt Blog and it was actually their clever ‘real estate 2.0′ mind map that first made us sit up and take notice of them almost a year ago. We’re thrilled to see they’ve released a bigger and better version for 2008, taking on board all the new sites that have popped up over the past year. And we’re particularly pleased because we’re on it!

Take a peek at the new updated version here, you’ll find a bunch of cool sites that you’ve probably never heard of.

There are some people that can’t imagine life without RSS, then there are others who think RSS is some kind of sexually transmitted disease. Until now, if you’ve wanted to subscribe to the Zoomf Blog you’ve only been able to do so using RSS, but we’ve now made it that bit easier by allowing you to subscribe via email if that suits you better.

Just enter your email address in to the ’subscribe by email’ box on the right hand side of the page and you’ll be delivered a daily round up of the Zoomf Blog posts. Easy peasy.

It’s always nice to win things, even if it’s a bit silly, so excuse us for a minute whilst we revel in our own glory.

Yesterday, the month long poll ‘Euro 2008 - Portals‘ came to a close and Zoomf were crowned the champions. The poll, which was running at the Property Owl blog, was won with 35% of the vote. We’d like to thank all of those who voted for us, you’ve made our parents very proud.

Now we know how Nadal feels
