I have noticed that the listings of Redfin agents in the SF Bay Area do not have virtual tours in all of them? Why is this so? Why is it that some do not have any virtual tours and some do? Is there any criteria to meet by the seller or are there extra charges for virtual tours? I have also observed that in Craigslist, postings of listings by Redfin may have a link for a virtual tour but none at the Redfin page?

I don't think all selling agents make virtual tours. It does cost money and time to take pictures and create those online presentations. Usually the virtual tours are on the more expensive properties. Some of those have their own websites, too.

All sellers represented by Redfin receive professional photography by a third party vendor. In addition to the pictures, the vendor provides a link to a virtual flyer of the property featuring a slideshow of the pictures. These links will be in the MLS and Craigslist but will not always feed into www.Redfin.com due to local MLS rules.
In addition, some of our tech-savvy sellers have created separate virtual tour websites on their own. We will manually add these into the MLS and Craigslist, but again, local MLS rules will not allow us to post these links in public remarks. Thus, it does not feed into the Redfin site.
I hope this information helps but please let me know if you have additional questions.
Thank you!
Gina

Thank you, Gina. I'll be emailing you separately for questions about Redfin's services on selling and buying. Shahaf, thanks for the stats. I sure could use 'em ifever we move to Southern Cali.  It seems more and more virtual tours are being utilized and they are welcome additions to people like me who do most searches via the web. I sure would like a virtual tour for my home when it's listed.
