How virtual property tours work

A virtual tour could be either:

a collection of 360-degree photos put together in a click walkthrough giving a buyer a full 360-degree view of every room OR
walkthrough video, showing a buyer as if he or she were walking through themselves.

This is providing the buyer with a better perspective before inspecting the home physically.

Virtual Tours and marketing your home for sale

Virtual tours are a useful marketing tool for a seller to showcase their home to a prospective buyer.

Here is why:

The majority of buyers start their property research online – virtual tours can offer a sneak peek before they commit to inspect, saving time and money.
For sellers, virtual tours may be a point of difference, helping them to engage with the right buyer, potentially qualifying that buyer more before they inspect the home.
Virtual tours could potentially assist in a quicker sale.
The virtual tours can be particularly useful for overseas buyers as well, as they may not be in a position to inspect in person.
With recent COVID-19 restrictions, virtual tours became an essential marketing piece to help sell a house successfully.
95% of buyers will still inspect the home physically before making an offer. Even top quality photos and the best virtual tours may still hide imperfections that can only be seen at a physical inspection.

Benefits of a Virtual Property Tour

It qualifies the buyer more and reduces time wasters.
Marketing point of difference in the competitive real estate market.
