Nashville Agent optimizes technology in home tours
Realtor Brian Copeland has said he is the first Tennessee Realtor to offer 360 Podtours.
Podtours, a term Brian coined, are portable virtual property tours that may be downloaded and viewed on Apple iPods. Podtours are attractive to mobile buyers, who may view the tours between appointments or during flight layovers.
"I just started the tours and I'm getting tons of hits. My email box has been filled with unbelievably nice compliments," he said.
Free downloads of Copeland's 360 Podtours are available at http://www.nashvilleandbeyond.com/ and will soon be broadcast through iTunes.
