I think virtual tours do work for advertising.

We're flying there tonight and will be touring a few properties and driving neighborhoods tomorrow & Sunday.

@Joel Cohen I second Robert's suggestions, and to follow up, I would highly recommend taking a flight to the area and meeting with the short list of potential team members you have narrowed it down to and tour properties and neighborhoods.  

I have the following team members:- Greeter (she greeted the people walking through the door)- 1st Floor, 2nd Floor and Basement "Tour Guides"- Closer (the real estate agent who encouraged people to bid)- Sergeant at arms or people who control the crowd and also acts as securityand10.

@Steve Vaughan The agent said that he is going to give me a tour of the unit.  

@Henry Tse This coming May I'm hosting a property tour, and I'd love for you to make it!

I've just finished a tour of St.

We also do occasional rehab tours of ongoing house flips, so you can see real deals in progress.Seize the day!

I know at the end of the show I watched, they had people coming through to tour the work that was done.
