A major ally in real estate

More than ever, technologies are invading our daily lives. This is amplified by the Covid-19 crisis which forces us to perform certain tasks remotely. This increase in the use of new technologies combined with the use of digital processes is transforming the real estate sector. Yes, virtual tours are a must. But what are their advantages?

How virtual tours work

In the real estate sector, there are different types of virtual tours. The first requires making an appointment with the seller to visit the property in real time, such as a guided tour. The second consists of scrolling panoramic images in 2D. These photos are uploaded and accessible by everyone, with the possibility of seeing everything in 360 ° for each room. Finally, the 3rd visit aims to 3D modeling plans and property. It is especially recommended for new homes.

The material required for a 3D visit

In order to perform a 3d visit of the property, the services of real estate professionals, only use specialized equipment. We mainly refer to a high performance camera allowing to have 4K HDR images of the house during the virtual tour in real estate. Moreover it also allows to have high quality images.

Although it is very convenient, virtual tours by appointment require a lot of management, time and investment.

The advantages of the virtual tour

Whether we use the panoramic view in 2D or 3D modeling, the real estate video offer many advantages for both parties: the seller and the buyer.

On the buyer’s side

Obviously, the main advantage of this type of visit for buyers is the fact that it avoids make trips and thus save on transport costs. It also saves time since our lifestyle is quite busy. The fact of not having to move on the spot can be really practical if the house to be visited is far from our current residence. Virtual tours thus give the buyer the means to search for a home in another province or region. And of course, virtual tours allow you to have no worries in terms of schedules.

The advantages on the seller’s side

The benefits for the seller are multiple:

• Highlight your home optimally;
• Offer a more immersive experience for the buyer;
• Maximize the visibility of the property while requiring less management on the part of the seller;
• Save time and speed up the sales process;
• To sort interested potentials.
