a new video series--real estate

These video clips are meant to provide my clients with "real" information about the real estate market. There will be onsite observations of ways to make your home more "green" and energy efficient, updated costs of mortgage money and refinancing, helpful referrals of service providers, putting a face to the name. Enjoy the show!

video log or VLOG

So there's a new item in social network marketing called the VLOG, which is a Video Log. I wondered about this until I remembered the FLIP mini video camcorder with little tripod that I bought at the end of last year. So, I tried it out at lunch on Thursday with a good friend from Bank of America, Jim Feely. He talked on camera about the state of the interest rates and what the prevailing thoughts are for the near term. He opined that the interest rates are expected to increase in the late part of the 1st quarter of 2010, as the Federal government is expected to stop investing in mortgage based securities. He is not alone in this expectation, as this is the word we are hearing from our friends at Wells Fargo as well.
We recorded this 47 second spot at the lunch, but determined that the noise of the restaurant made it "not ready for prime time." I have learned the message of video, which is to find a steady background with no extra sound. The news media folk often buttonhole politicos in the hallway, but they have highly directional microphones, and camera people who are able to hold their cameras steady. Being a one person crew has its challenges, but this little camera is so convenient!
