PR Log (Press Release) – Apr 09, 2008 – VHT, a leading provider of visual marketing services, announces a complimentary, real-time visual asset distribution service for real estate professionals marketing luxury properties.  VHT is the only visual marketing partner to provide LuxuryPortfolio.com with an entire suite of professional photography, video tours and visual content for marketing premier properties on the luxury real estate site.

“Top real estate professionals know the value of visual marketing in today’s competitive market,” said Paul Boomsma, president of Luxury Portfolio.  “By partnering with VHT we can save our members time and money, maintain the professional quality of marketing assets and provide an effective media channel for selling high-end properties.”
