Virtual Reality (VR) is now everywhere. It provides a life-like experience through your computer, headset or phone. You can change angles and move any direction to inspect a site (or products), as if you were actually there in-person. Many colleges are now adding virtual tours of their campuses to attract more students.
Similarly, right now is the perfect time to make use of virtual tours in the real estate industry. If you’re a realtor, you could certainly benefit from having Metro Virtual Tours create virtual tours of homes for sale on your listing site.
Let’s look at some of the benefits you can get from using virtual tours:
- More Potential Buyers
When you list homes for sale online, you likely get a fair share of folks viewing your properties, but very few actually make inquiries. And out of the ones that do, most never make the decision to learn more.
Out of the chosen few who wish to visit the properties — the only visual they had before visiting were the photos you put up on your site. Oftentimes, it doesn’t meet their expectations, and they neglect to place an offer. This is a clear sign that people’s interest likely depends on the expectations you can create in their minds about the property before they choose to visit.
This is one of the biggest things virtual tours can improve for you. By including a virtual tour, the person viewing will be able to experience a realistic tour while sitting in the comfort of their home. They’ll be able to get a complete visual of how the house will look before visiting in-person.
- Decision Time!
Commonly, when folks inquire for more details, they typically don’t have much interest. You will take valuable time and effort to try to follow up with them, provide more details, but at the end of the day, they go elsewhere.
If you were to use virtual tours, a person will be able to get a detailed view of the house; a realistic interpretation which they wouldn’t get from other property listing sites — the prospect may develop an instant interest and stop looking any further.
- Easier to Promote Your Business
Virtual tours are still very new and most realtors have yet to make proper use of it. If you choose to use virtual tours for your business, you’ll be taking one step ahead of the field, have a strong marketing value proposition, and attract additional folks.
