Recently a new trend in real estate has emerged: Buyers are making offers on property sight unseen . Virtual Tours are available as buyers scramble to locate property in low inventory markets. High end agents have used this technique as a value added benefit to their clients for a long time.
Simplistic solutions are available for those who want to use them with their property listing.
If you are in a hurry, the obvious tool is your cellphone and a quick tour highlighting the major features and benefits. We want to attract the most likely buyers, so be truthful and transparent with your video.
Another alternative is obviously to use the services of a professional photographer. With higher end properties, it’s probably worth it. They know how to stage the images, and attractive interior photos are helpful in showing the room layouts and flow of space.
Zillow has a wonderful app for interior and exterior photos.
Many real estate agents hesitate to share these ideas because they fear it will take food off their tables. We believe an enlightened consumer is an empowered one.
