Virtual Tour Of Homes: A Whole New Marketing Solution

By Christine Smith


The purpose of Virtual Tours is to give the buyers an idea of the space in and around a property. Back in the day realtors would stage an open house for the buyers to visit, but with growing technology and the power of computers, realtors have access to buyers from across the globe. In order to attract buyers, realtors have to make sure they offer buyers with enough details about the property without having them over to visit the property. One such way is by providing a 360-degree virtual tour of homes or property on sale.

Many outsourcing firms have been successful in providing excellent virtual tour (VT) Services. Photo editors gather enough information from the realtors and put them together in the form of a tour that would almost guide the customers inside and around the property. By doing so, the customers get the complete feel of the house and its space. If you continue to read you will see how much of an advantage Virtual Tours are to the realtors/home owners.

It is easy to share virtual homes across blogs, social media sites, and listing databases. The best VT applications, even provide HTML code for easy posting to online databases like Craigslist. The bottom line is that you will get more high-quality inquiries if you create a virtual home tour for each of your listings. Buyers are more likely to pursue a property if they have the kind of rich information that a VT conveys.

If you are very unfamiliar with either of these systems, you could always teach yourself how to do it, by doing lots of internet searches, and asking others how you do it, and any techniques. One thing for sure is, if you have a technical question about computers, and you post that question to a discussion board online, you will eventually find the person that actually knows how to do, what you want to do, and you will find the right answer to any computer question or problem because computer people love to tell you what they know!

However, a virtual home tour can also reach buyers on a "gut feeling" level. Indeed, a tour video can quickly convey a property's "personality." Those who depend on real estate marketing tools to earn their keep can tell you that intuition, emotional reactions, and gut instincts play an important, influential role in property sales.

Most VTs also now offer music during the presentation. Having soothing music can really enhance the user experience and convert sales as a result. Ideally, the whole point is to always be ahead of the competitors.

You would want to have nice business cards made up also. You could send a flier out, along with the business cards, and offer your service to all the real estate offices in your area, offer them a special! Shop around to see what other VT services are selling their services for, and be a little bit cheaper in the beginning!

Casting a wide net is hugely important in real estate sales. Though it is important to target advertising or marketing efforts, oftentimes the buyers of a piece of property do not fit the expected mold. Placing a virtual home tour online will give all sorts of buyers an opportunity to tour the home. Though your home may have initially been out of a particular buyer's price range, strong photos can sometimes sway them. This is a great way to reach as many people as possible. Additionally, international home buyers looking to relocate, don't have direct access to the home.
