FSBO.com is pleased to announce that we have a new Video Player available to all of our Home Sellers. The new player allows the seller to Email, Link, and Post their personal property video anywhere on the web. The player provides Embedded Code so you can post it on your personal Websites or Blogs, as well as a unique URL (web Link) that you can send and post.  The seller’s contact info and link back to the FSBO.com listing will automatically be entered into the player so potential buyers seeing your video on other sites can contact you, see information on the home, as well as get direct access to your listing on FSBO.com.

Sample Video:

FSBO.com can accept the following video formats: AVI, MPEG, and MOV (Quicktime) *note – at this time we cannot accept .FLV file formats. There is no max time, however in our experience the most impactful videos are between 1 and 3 minutes long.

In regards to resolution, all videos are compressed and converted into a flash video format using an ideal resolution and frame rate for web delivery. There is no minimum or maximum resolution requirement for the source video.
