Buying or Selling a Home? Don’t forget the Virtual Tour!

Remember when we used to call front desk and make a hotel reservation? Today, when I book a room, I never talk to anybody. I just go online and start searching hotels and prices. A cheap fee is important, but not less important are photos and virtual tours. When I book a hotel, I want to see the place, feel the lobby, and have a virtual swim in the pool. If a hotel has lots of photos and a good price – I’d probably book it right away. And I’m not alone… Turns out that 99% of consumers prefer virtual tours and lots and lots of photos, but not only while booking a hotel.

Did you know that 87% of home buyers search for real estate online? Do you think that one photo of a living room will persuade a buyer to come over? Not likely… Just like in the hotel business, giving a customer a virtual showcase is probably the most obvious requirement in real estate. Virtual tour saves buyers and sellers time, while providing a convenient and secure transaction.
