Conventional Real Estate scenario
Buyers need to look up for properties online or in newspaper ads. Once they get the address, they need to go to the location in order to analyze the details they were willing to see. The seller needs to take some time off his schedule to handle the buyer and present a pleasing aroma while the buyers are there. All of this collectively consume a lot of time, energy and investment if you look at it in the long term. Capturing photos of a property and posting online has definitely shown a lot of potentials, but the buyer often ends up getting a totally different experience when they compare reality with the photos. All of this hassle and no gain results in a waste of time for both buyers and sellers. But virtual tours are here to change the game.
What is this virtual touring thing all about?
Real Estate business consists of people who want to buy, sell or rent their properties. Now assuming you want to migrate to a new house, or simply looking for a property to invest nearby, won’t you be willing to look at it before buying? People used to travel across cities or even countries just to SEE the property with their own eyes before buying. When we have so much technology already available, e.g. holograms, virtual reality, 3d modelling, 8K cameras, why would you even need to move an inch to see the property? Well, this is the exact concept of Virtual Touring for Real Estate. Let us look at some tools that are already available for making this a reality.

Buyers will also appreciate the advantage where they don’t need to visit the property in real to get an idea of how it will look like, and you will save your time and money from preparing for such visits. Sometimes buyers are looking for a particular thing in their head, and you can list out all those things in the virtual tour.
