Great news regarding virtual tours!

At Avera Design, we understand the importance of maintaining a competitive edge when it comes to quality of product and cost of service. As of 10/20/2008, we have permanently reduced the cost of our virtual tours from 169.00 to 119.00. This includes 4 360 degree scenes and posting to national sites such as realtor.com, homes.com and homeseekers.com. We also provide a MLS compliant link. Our virtual tours are more than just slideshows and elevator music. They are completely immersive and allow users to navigate around the room. Digital virtual tours are the most potent marketing tool ever made available to real estate agents. In a few short years from now, Internet usage and purchasing will have grown so rapidly that your customers will fully expect the better estate agents to have embraced this new technology.

  • Real Estate Virtual Tours increase the chance of matching a property to the purchasers requirements
  • Real Estate Virtual Tours save home buyers time and expense when searching for a property
  • Real Estate Virtual Tours are becoming the prime property listing resource for home buyers
  • Home buyers prefer previewing homes via virtual tours before physically viewing the physical property
  • Real Estate Virtual Tours are like "open houses" 24 hours a day
  • Real Estate Virtual Tours provide an accurate representation of the property and decrease the time and expense of showing properties in the physical world.

***For one day only (Tuesday Oct. 21) all standard 4 scene virtual tours will be reduced from 119.00 to 89.00 and our still photography will be reduced from 45.00 to 35.00 per house. If you order 5 or more virtual tours, we will reduce the price to 75.00 per tour.*** All tours will be uploaded to Realtor.com, homes.com and homeseekers.com and we will give you a MLS compliant link.

Your time is precious, why spend a majority of it in the office?

We can match your office support needs for less than what it would take to hire a full-time employee.




















Virtual Assistants (typically abbreviated to VAs), are business owners who provide professional administrative, technical, or creative (social) assistance to clients[1] — usually other independent entrepreneurs and consultancy small businesses. Virtual Assistants work from their own office (hence "virtual"), thus making it a fairly popular (and growing) profession in centralized economies[2] with "fly-in, fly-out" (FIFO) staffing practices.[3] It is estimated that there are as few as 5,000-8,000 or as many as 35,000 Virtual Assistants worldwide.[4][5] Common modes of communication and data delivery include the Internet, e-mail and phonecall conferences,[6] online work spaces, and fax machine. Professionals in this business work on a contractual basis and a long-lasting cooperation is standard. Typically 5 years of administrative experience in an office is expected at such positions as executive assistant, office manager/supervisor, secretary, legal assistant, paralegal, legal secretary, real estate assistant, et cetera.
