Let's see how virtual property tours work and how they impact the real estate industry.

What Are Virtual Property Tours?

Over the past 5 years, virtual reality (VR) has taken the world at a very fast pace. This new technology which allows businesses to give customers a closer look into their products and services. Should you spend hours trying to convince buyers when you can offer a virtual tour?

Property agents can use VR to showcase their inventory more creatively.

For example, if a client who lives overseas is interested in buying a house, it's easier for him to take a virtual tour rather than travel to the UK and back.

Virtual property tours allow people to take a visual walk through a home available for sale. They can check out every room and corner with a few taps on the phone. Compared this to photos and videos media, this technology offers a more accurate and realistic experience.

1. Time Saving

When you're listing a new property for sale on the market, you may end up receiving many phone calls from potential leads. Meeting each of them can be is a strain on resources and time. On top of that, some are just curious and have no real intention to purchase.

With a virtual tour, clients can see the property on their laptops, mobile tablets or smartphones. For those who are really interested will contact you and ask for more information. This will free up your time, so you will be able to focus on other areas of your business.

2. Cost Cutting

Driving to and from to meet potential clients and show them properties can be costly. Just consider about how much money you'll spend on fuel at the pumps.

The worst case is that you have no guarantee that they will purchase. Maybe they don't like the hallway, or maybe they discover that the neighbourhood doesn't suit their lifestyle.

Virtual property tours help eliminate these elements. Your only task is to upload the tour on your site so that customers can check the property in advance, or even easier will be to send the client a link to where they can view the tour on a mobile device.

3. Its Convenient

When you showcase a property, the first thing you make sure is the house is prepared and is in pristine condition. However this can be a hassle to call a cleaning company or ask the home owner to clean every time the phone rings.

With virtual tours, you can show off the property in its very best condition. More-so, you are able to emphasise on key features to entice clients into buying.

4. Engage with a Realistic Experience

Virtual property tours are like a open day. Potential leads can access the tour anytime they want 24 hours a day from any mobile device.

This technology helps create user awareness far from that of a static photography. Those who view the tour are transported into the scene and can fully immerse them selves in the details.

5. Its not technical

In this day of digital revolution, we can see that virtual tours can be created in every industry. The good news is that at the core of every virtual tour, we have the end user (the consumer) in mind.

Sending a virtual tour to a lead is very easy. You can send it within a sms or whatsapp as a shortened link that takes the client directly to the tour.

You can tour easily embed on your website like embedding a photo or video.

6. Stand out from the competition

The application and benefits of a virtual tour for this industry is massive. We can only see this growing as more and more people find out about how easy it is to use. We have seen the application of virtual tours grow immensely within the luxury apartment sectors where agents have a bulk of their clients who are overseas, auction houses where they are able to give a property a early showcase and have realised increased final sale prices because of increased interests.

On top of that, this helps create trust with clients clients more than they trust the competition.
