My RealBird v. vFlyer Review as a Stager
So I staged 2 La Mancha Millbrae on Monday and finally got a chance to process and upload all the photos and testing RealBird out!
It was really easy to upload all the photos and it’s actually faster than uploading via VFlyer. I do wish both of these applications have a feature to post multiple photos concurrently. That will save me a lot of energy and time. When I uploaded the photos, it appeared to be distorted and fuzzy. But when I checked the done flyer, they all look fine. What I like about RealBird v. VFlyer is that RealBird has a slideshow feature, which I think I will start using on my own website (oy, more uploading!) for before & after photos. It is not as magical as Real Estate Show of course where you can add music & captions, but I think it looks pretty darn good for its purpose. And it’s FREE (music to my ears). You can also post it to your facebook account, in addition to craig’s list.
But the great thing about vFlyer is that it’s cross industries where RealBird is real estate industry specific.

I have also been impressed by their customer services. Upon signing up, I actually received a real live person call to see if everything is working great. I also love them contacting us stagers via Active Rain directly to add a “home stager” category since we generally are like orphans in the industry and always have to check “the others” box.
And thanks to David C’s original post I Put My Listings on RealBird Tonight, So Should You!Here is a link to RealBird’s AR post: RealBird flies free
