EVS Success Story: From Stale to Sold in 7 Days
The Challenge
A beautiful home in Jerome had been on the market for over five months with very little buyer activity. The listing had standard photography, but it wasn’t generating enough online engagement or in-person showings to spark serious buyer interest.
Our Game Plan
We set out to transform how buyers experienced this property online, creating a marketing package that would grab attention and make the listing stand out:
-
🚀 FPV Fly-Through Entrance – A high-energy aerial introduction to pull viewers into the home from the sky.
-
🎥 Gimbal Walkthrough – Smooth, cinematic interior shots that highlight layout, flow, and key features.
-
📱 Social Media Clips – Short-form teasers formatted for Instagram and Facebook to drive instant engagement.
The Results
-
+300% boost in online listing views in the first 72 hours after launch.
-
Multiple showing requests within the first week.
-
Increased exposure across MLS and social platforms, giving the home renewed buyer attention after months of minimal activity.
What the Agent Said
“The difference was night and day. We went from zero interest to multiple showings in days.”
Takeaway for Agents:
A stale listing doesn’t mean a bad property, it means it needs a better story. EVS brings the tools, the visuals, and the marketing know-how to make buyers fall in love online before they ever step foot inside.📞 Ready to refresh your listing? Call us at (986) 220-8300

📱 Short-Form Social Media Clips — Vertical teasers optimized for online promotion
The focus was on visibility, engagement, and first impressions.
The Results
-

Generated strong buyer interest and inquiries following launch

Ultimately became one of the few Parade of Homes properties to sell despite challenging market conditions

📐 Boundary Line Overlays: Clear visual definition of the property footprint to increase buyer confidence.
📣 Aggressive Launch Support: Optimized visuals delivered quickly to support immediate MLS and online promotion during a slower market window.
Each asset was designed to stop the scroll and communicate value immediately.
The Results
-

Showings were scheduled within hours of listing

An offer was received quickly, and the home went under contract in just 5 days.
What the Agent Said

The Challenge
This modern new-construction home in a Jerome, Idaho development was listed during December, a period when buyer activity typically slows due to higher interest rates and seasonal hesitation. Few homes in the neighborhood were moving, and most listings were expected to remain stagnant until early spring.
The challenge was to create early momentum and differentiate the property in a slower, competitive market.
Our Game Plan
EVS implemented a video-first, modern marketing approach designed to match the home’s architecture and capture attention immediately online:
-
🎥 Cinematic Gimbal Walkthrough Video
Smooth, flowing interior shots highlighting layout, finishes, and overall design. -
🚁 Drone Video & Aerial Coverage
Exterior perspectives and neighborhood context to position the home within the development. -
📣 Strong Launch Support
Optimized video assets delivered quickly for MLS and online promotion during a slower market window.
The strategy was intentional: lead with motion, clarity, and energy to make the listing feel current and competitive despite winter conditions.
The Results
The listing generated meaningful buyer interest during a traditionally slow winter market
The property went under contract within 35 days, outperforming nearby listings that remained stagnant
Although the transaction did not close due to a late buyer withdrawal, the listing demonstrated strong early momentum compared to comparable homes in the area
Takeaway for Agents:
In slower markets, presentation drives performance. A modern, video-led approach can generate attention and activity even when buyer demand is limited. Strategic visuals help listings stand out, create urgency, and compete year-round, not just during peak seasons.
