One trend that emerged at a fast past because of the Coronavirus is the use of virtual tours. Virtual tours create a 3-d rendering of a space and allow the potential buyer to “walk” the property without ever stepping foot inside. This reduces the number of people walking through your house by eliminating the tire kickers! Fewer people in your house means less exposure to the Coronavirus and also reduces the inconvenience of accommodating tours.
One major drawback of pictures is that they don’t adequately showcase the layout. The 360 imaging fixes that by creating a floor plan for you.
Highlight Features
Plus, my favorite part of the virtual tours are that they can be ‘feature rich’, allowing you to draw the buyer’s attention to the “must not miss” features of the house, like this incognito safe:
Or this invisible fence:
Or showcase the house’s beautiful detail:
Embed a Video in the Virtual Tour
One of my favorite examples of how we used the 3d tours was when I listed a property with a brook in the back. I took a video from the deck to showcase that you could hear the water and the birds and I embedded the video in the virtual tour. The buyers were able to hear it for themselves and really made the property stand out.
