Realtor Uses ASMR In Viral Listing Videos

How cool is that? People seem to either love or hate ASMR there is apparently no in between. It's either your favorite thing ever and you want more of it, or it will instantly drive you crazy and you never want to hear it again.

What is ASMR?

Wondering, "what is ASMR?" You're not alone in not knowing what it is. It's a popular thing online that stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. It's that weird tingling sensation, or goosebumps, you get in response to certain stimuli. Basically, that low talking is supposed to make you physically react without even knowing it. Some people love it, others hate it. You can get it from visuals or from audio...or from both at the same time.
