Eric- New Orleans Condos and Lofts’s last blog post..The Advantages of FHA verses Conventional Loans in Todays Market
@ Eric – were you thinking of a good slideshow that you could put in a blog post? I don’t know one but when you find it can you let me (us) know?!?!?! Thanks! Tara
One of the things I want is the ability of the viewer to speed up as people want to go at their own speed. Its just another facet for a blog. I want to do some neighborhoods so want to have more shots. Many get fancy and do not look professional. Real Estate Shows is good except the speed and the amount of shots.

Wow that IS nice, I used http://www.FirstHomeTour.com that allows unlimited tours / listings for $29.95 per month. I THINK they allowed me to change the transition time and were about as easy as the Real Estate Shows.
That is VERY nice and affordable. Would you be able to have it in your mls as a tour? Our MLS is VERY strict and it would not allow it to show as a tour on the media although I could add the unbranded one as a link.
My last comment was in response to an Eric email: http://www.flash-slideshow-maker.com/, This one looks very interesting and will try it tommorow. The pro version is $49 buts lets see what it looks like. Eric of
