How Can Virtual Tours Help Real Estate Agents During Coronavirus Time?

Real estate industry is no different than all the other industries being affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Sales and listings have slowed dramatically these days because of COVID-19.

Realtors, agents and real estate brokerages are desperately trying to find new ways to sell their properties to new buyers, but the question remains how?

How can they show the property if the California state government is banning any open houses? How can the buyers truly get a feeling of the house they wish to buy? How can sellers and agents showcase the features of a house to their prospect buyers and allow the buyers to interactively walk-through the property at their discretion?

Of course it seems difficult to make a big purchase under these circumstances, but don’t worry! Technology makes it possible.

 

matterport open house tours

 

At Matterport 360 View, we have a solution for all your challenges, and we can help you boost sales in these desperate times.

Don’t miss an opportunity to sell just because you can’t have an open house. Thanks to technology, we can do that virtually.

We deliver top quality interactive 3D virtual tours for any size property in southern California in 24 to 48 hours.

Give your buyers the chance to view the house at their own convenience. This is truly an open house 24 hours a day, 7 days a week that would cost you a fraction of having a real open house. Don’t let this pandemic hurt your business.

At Matterport 360 View, we are aware of the risks of performing a 3D virtual tour scan in people’s properties, but again we have thought through this and we have a solution for it.  

We will provide you and the seller, the information about preparing the property in a way that our scan crew would not need to touch a single thing in the property.

Our team would show up fully prepared with face masks, gloves, shoe covers and disinfecting material to be used if necessary.

They would just be moving the camera from point to point and they would be out in a few short hours depending on the size of a property. For example, a 1500 sq. ft. listing would take 1 hour to be scanned and a 5000 sq. ft. house would take 2 hours and 30 minutes to be scanned.

We will coordinate and plan the 3D scan to eliminate any face-to-face contact lowering any risks for our clients and our team members. We do take precautionary steps to keep our communities safe but helping to move forward and to get out of this situation safely.

We have noticed that agents are using a handmade video using their phones as to walk through the property to be uploaded as the “3D tour”.

Keep in mind that this is not the same as our fully interactive 3D virtual tour. The video has no interaction capability not alone to provide detail information about features of the property.

We use Matter Tags to input links, photos, videos and more content about any feature in the house like the security system, designer kitchen or cabinets, granite counter tops, fireplaces, curtains and more.

Once the property is scanned, it will take us 24 to 48 hours to get the edit team to do their job and prepare the 3D twin model of your house or listing.

After the project completion, you will receive branded, un-branded and MLS “links” and “embed codes” to the cloud-based 3D space to your house or listing which could be shared on your websites, social media and multiple MLS websites.

This is how you can differentiate yourself as an agent and your listings from others out there in the market.
