Over the last 8 years, Virtuance has thoroughly researched, and successfully created a real estate marketing solution designed to make buyers click. This \u2018click\u2019 ultimately leads to more showings, a higher asking price, and an all-around better client and seller experience. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have fine-tuned the entire real estate photography process from start to finish in order to provide agents with images that set our clients up for success. In fact, studies show that Virtuance properties get 2-3 times more showings than our competitors. Keller Williams agents understand that success starts with increasing buyer interest online in order to maximize showings. Our showings generate as much as 47% more multiple offers, which can increase the contract price.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We all know that a great listing is only as great as we allow it to be in our online marketing, and it all starts with professional photos and virtual tours.
