You've heard about the Alexandria community of Cameron Station. Perhaps you've seen pictures online. Or even read about it right here on my blog:

Now, I present a brief video driving tour of Cameron Station filmed on this beautiful Spring day. It's the next best thing to actually being there yourself.
DISCLAIMER: Don't try this at home. Videotaping while driving can be dangerous to yourself and others, and possibly result in a fatal automobile accident. Trust the driving to a trained professional REALTOR. (My next neighborhood tour may be a walking tour!)

Brian... In Connecticut we have laws that prohibit using a cell phone while driving or you are subject to a ticket. Hope you had the strapped to your head so you don't get fined.
Brian... Excellent idea for relocation buyers, I can't imagine trying to drive and film too...
I have a great video I shot while driving down the turn lane - until I almost hit a police car :( - now I make my kids drive while I shoot!
Brian, you always add a touch of unexpected humor! Glad the pedestrians are OK!
DAN: Virginia doesn't yet have that law, though D.C. does. I used the Flip Video camera, not a cell phone. However, I was driving quite slowly both for safety reasons and because I didn't want to subject viewers to a roller coaster type ride through the community.
DEBBIE: Thanks for your comment. I just held the little camera right above the steering wheel. As I mentioned in the post, I think that next time I'll do a walking tour!
MICHELLE: Glad that you didn't hit a police car. Sounds much safer sitting in the passenger seat.
PAT: Glad you enjoyed the video and my sense of humor.
Brian... Figured you were using Flip Video and maybe since it isn't a cell phone the Connecticut laws would not apply. My camera arrived a few days ago but I haven't really had a chance to play with it.
Brian - that looks like a dangerous job!! But it does give you a good feel for the neighborhood. What about the night time tour. :)
DAN: Perhaps not, though I still don't recommend driving and videotaping at the same time unless you have the camera on a tripod or someone else is holding it. Even then, narrating while driving can get distracting.
NAOMA: I thought that the video tour would give a good feel for the neighborhood. I doubt I'll be doing a night time tour anytime soon.
What a great tool to offer home buyers! You must have an active relocation business and this is a great way to service them!
SHANNON: Thanks for your comment. I look forward to providing tours of some other neighborhoods.
Brian, you just gave me another use for my Flip Video. I loved the tour and was impressed with your driving while filming skills. I think I may only be capable of a walking tour, but WOW!
CHELLE: Thanks for your comments. I think that the neighborhood tour can be a useful tool for relocating buyers to learn about the area.
Brian~ what a great idea!! I really enjoyed your commentary as you were driving, I almost felt like I was in the passenger seat. BTW~ I don't think you made a single full stop at a stop sign, a real Realtor on the move, LOL
LISA: Thanks for your comments. I'm glad you enjoyed the ride. Stop at a stop sign? Do people do that? I'm too busy trying to make it to the next home...
