“A new age of consumers has risen and
with them comes a set of elevated
standards and greater expectations
needed to win their business.”
Jason LaVanture – RTV Vice President
Today’s consumer expects information faster than ever
before and in ways that lets them envision a product in its
entirety before they submit a request for more information
or pick up the phone.
With so many factors playing into the home selling cycle,
agents must look for ways to pass this media rich information
in a manner that has a consistent look and feel and leaves a
lasting impression on the consumer. The RTV property
marketing system does just that by making your image and
your properties look their very best both online and off.
 80% of consumers search for information
online. That means at least 60% of your
marketing dollars should be spent
optimizing your company online.
 In cyberspace, a real estate listing with a
virtual tour will receive 38% more views
than a competitor’s site without a virtual
tour.
 54% of home buyers, who are searching
for their next home on Realtor.com, will
skip over listings that do not provide
virtual tours and multiple images.
 On a typical day, more than six million
people are taking virtual tours in
cyberspace, up from roughly two million
in 2004.
 Home Buyers who used the internet as a
significant portion of their home-buying
experience spent an average of two
weeks with a Realtor® looking at homes,
compared to those who did not use the
internet, who spent an average of seven
weeks looking for their home.
 After gathering information online, nearly
three-quarters of home buyers reported
that they drove by specific properties,
and 57% walked through a property
viewed online.
 The median income of Internet searchers
is much higher, at $86,900, compared
with $50,400 among those who did not
use the internet to search for a home.
Meaning, higher end properties sell faster
online.

TAKE THE TOUR
At RTV we realize that having the greatest photo stitching software is the
key to creating quality virtual tours. Different software programs yield
different results. Over the last nine years, the RTV staff has mastered the
science of photo stitching and when utilized properly our Tour Builder
software produces by far the very best panorama you could possibly make.
1
Our proprietary setup and stitching process allows for what we call Variable Controlled Stitching™ which is a much
more advanced and thorough process than technologies used by other providers not utilizing calibrated hardware
and software. We control more variables throughout the image capture process and stitching process giving you a
better end result at an affordable price. FINALLY, PHOTO STITCHING SOFTWARE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS!
2
Using the components of the Real Tour Vision Builder Kit, the tour builder takes a series of still images with their
digital camera, which is side mounted on the custom rotator that gives the virtual tour a wide angle view. The
rotator allows the tour builder to manually capture up to twelve photos in a circular motion at pre-specified
intervals. Virtual tours can support 360 degree panoramic images, partial panoramas and even still images. After
the photos for each scene are captured, the tour builder transfers the images for each scene from their camera to
the software. These overlapping photos are then seamlessly and automatically stitched into panoramic images.
The RTV system is so flexible; it will support any
digital camera!
3
During the setup process we determine your exact concave / convex distortion, focal length, and field of view
of your camera's lens. This information is then used to create an electronic lens file that is stored within our
software. We setup and configure your RTV rotator so your camera rotates around the exact center of your
camera's lens and compute the exact percent overlap of your images to ensure seamless, professional quality
and error free panoramas.
RTV virtual tours were designed with the end real estate agent in mind. Our virtual tour software and
hardware packages make it possible for someone with little to no photography and technical experience to
complete a full featured online virtual tour in less than forty minutes.

TO VIEW TESTIMONIALS
"This marketing system has added a new, dynamic dimension to our marketing program, as well as
drastically reduced our traditional marketing expenses. This has helped streamline company transactions
through promoting in-house ancillary business (increasing our company’s bottom-line!) and is used to recruit
tech-savvy agents." Bob Garrow [Garrow-Loftis/GMAC Real Estate]
“We LOVE our virtual tours! As the only real estate company in our area doing virtual tours, we are able to
provide professional quality tours that give us an edge over our competitors. Our Sellers love them because
they showcase their homes beautifully and help bring in more serious Buyers. And Buyers just love virtual
tours! The software is extremely user friendly and the support from the Real Tour Vision staff is amazing.
They respond pleasantly and immediately to our emails or phone calls and are able to handle any problems
on the spot. Thanks for all your help!” Bobbie McCombs [C. Ervin & Associates]
Originally designed for resorts, golf
courses, upscale lodging facilities and
others requiring high quality, the demand
in the real estate industry accelerated the
introduction of proprietary software in
2001 that decreased the tour building
process to 30-45 minutes without
sacrificing any quality.
Immediately, independent franchises and
divisions of several Fortune 500 Companies
such as GMAC, Land America, Stewart
Title, RE/MAX, and Coldwell Banker began
to use the nation's finest tour building
product.
Real Tour Vision has built up the
world’s largest network of virtual tour
providers with over 1,500 tour builders
located in the United States plus
coverage in 27 countries worldwide.
