virtual reality to replace traditional property showing

Isn’t it cool to visit someplace and enjoy the surroundings with all the details when actually you are not present there physically? Welcome to the vast world of virtual reality (VR). Virtual reality has emerged as a game-changer in the real estate business. It has transformed the way realty sector functions. Early adopters of VR is certainly going to experience an upper hand over others.

Usually, in conventional business, a real estate agent or broker offers you a long list of properties and then comes explanations, negotiations, and finally the real-life visits to houses and apartments. This is how real estate has been functioning since ages. But now times have changed and so as the realty sector. VR is already transforming the way the real estate industry functions. This technology is helping real estate agents grow their business, acquire more clients, and deliver top-level services.

Just an idea of seeing how your home will exactly look like when it is still under construction. Isn’t it fancy? With 360-degree renderings of your chosen property, you can have a 3-D view of the property where you can walk through the gallery, balcony and rooms, place furniture, and get a glimpse of the society you plan to move in.

Without a shadow of a doubt, VR is breaking the stereotype. Now agents just need a suitable VR headset and then they can make buyers visit the place in person. This way, buyers can virtually visit multiple locations within a short duration and both buyers and real estate agents can save a lot of time and streamline the selling process. At SPN the agents take clients to the virtual tour of their property by using VR.

There are two types of 3D virtual tours:

Guided visits: These are more of a promotional video but are either fully virtual or in the form of 360-degree videos. These are more suitable for existing properties as they’re rather simple to make – you just need a panoramic camera to capture 360-degree video. For 360-degree videos, no programming or sophisticated rendering is needed.

Interactive visits: They let users select where to move within a property by clicking on special hotspots in the field of view. It is a little complicated to create but more interactive than guided 3D virtual tours.
