3D Interactive Home Tours
In today’s world technology plays a big role in the Real Estate market for both buyers and sellers. By choosing the right technology when marketing a home not only can it help showcase a property, it can shorten the time on the market, reach a wider audience, and sell for a higher price. Agents looking for the next best thing in real estate marketing should consider adding Matterport to their inventory of marketing tools. Not only does Matterport enhance the property being viewed, but it is a game changer for showing a home.
Matterport creates a 3D model of the property that essentially can show the entire home on a three-dimensional scale. Once the scan of the property is complete, it is uploaded right away, allowing anyone to walkthrough the property from the convenience of their own computer. Agents can use it to show several properties at once to potential buyers without ever leaving their office, and buyers can view properties from their own home.
When you use a Matterport you essentially only need to have one open house. This gives you the agent the ability to have a virtual open house 24-hours a day, 7 days a week without having to step foot on the property. Not only does this eliminate the need for multiple open houses, it saves time, expands the audience, and results in a quicker sell!
How is this different than virtual walk tours or walkthroughs that have been around for a while? Matterport does things that none of the previous walkthroughs have done before.
Here are the features Matterport offers:
Doll House
The Doll House feature allows the property to be viewed as a 3D image. Viewers can move the image around to see all aspects of the home. The viewer can zoom in on certain areas to really get a feel for the layout.
Floor Plans
Need a floor plan of the home for your listing? No problem Listing Marketing Pros can have one created from your 3D model.
Video Walkthrough
There is an option to go on a tour of the home as if the buyer is physically walking through it simply by pushing play. The great part about this feature is not only does it walk through each room, but it views the room from multiple perspectives and angles, showing the buyer all aspects of the area.
360-Degree Views
Matterport has the option to view each room separately using the 360-degree view option. This gives the potential buyer the ability to explore every corner of a room as if they were standing in it.
A Matterport adds amazing value. With one shoot, you get all the benefits of incredible photos and the power to immerse home buyers in an experience they won’t soon forget.
