"The internet buyer already knows every house on the market. They're not at the information gathering stage – they're in the elimination process. If your listings don't provide them with a tour, then your house is eliminated from the search. Realtors understand that.

While virtual tours are helping to promote certain listings, they are causing other listings – those without a virtual tour – to be eliminated from consideration. "
