Thomas Harpointer is co-founder of AIS Media, an Atlanta-based technology firm that provides Internet solutions to businesses. He has some advice for those who buy and sell houses on the Web, where it is estimated more than 80 percent of home buyers start their searches.

“The average online listing with a virtual tour receives 40 percent more views than listings without tours. More than 90 percent of home buyers consider the addition of property photos to an online listing to be "very important." Providing a virtual tour helps build buyer confidence, generates more leads and can save the agent/broker valuable time by better educating the potential buyer about a property prior to the site visit.” Harpointner said.
