How Virtual Tours helped sell real estate sight unseen or without face to face meetings in 2020 ?
2020/2021 turned out to be a crazy year for anyone and even crazier for Real Estate industry. Face to face meeting restrictions, travel restrictions led to no open houses and no meetings with sellers or buyers. Many businesses could not quickly transform themselves into digitally capable operators and they went out of business or they took on some heavy losses and staff reductions.

However you did it, congratulations! You probably are one of the best in the industry and you have your online presence down pat. Although you still might be better as there is always room to learn and improve. We hope you are reading this to be the best of the best ! How ?

All right, hello everybody. My mate, Thomas, from Virtual Tours Creator asked me to do a video to help him, you know, get the word out.
So, how are we helping people during this Coronavirus crisis? And how are we showing houses? ‘Cause a lot of people are canceling inspections or, you know, people are getting sick so you don’t want to go into their houses. Stuff like that. So, for a while we’ve been using 360 cameras to show houses. You can spin these around, and you can look at a house. You can go from room to room and do all that. That is what my mate, Thomas, from Virtual Tours Creator has. And I’ll tag him in it now, when the video finishes. But, basically, even though the virus is here now and everyone’s going crazy about it, this is actually helping us out. So, it’s very simple. You get yourself a 360 camera. Now this is one that Thomas can give you, otherwise I’ve got the Insta360 ONE X. I’ll take that off. I’ve got the Insta360 ONE X. You buy a camera. You buy a tripod. You put the camera on top of the tripod, and you stick it in the middle of an empty room, okay? Then basically you can move out of the way, you grab your phone, you take a quick photo with it, it takes a photo of the entire 360 of the room, like, whatever you can see as if you’re spinning around. And you go from room to room and you take those photos, and you save it on your phone. Thomas has got the Virtual Tours Creator website, and on there, you upload the photos, it’s like super easy. Upload the photos, you connect the rooms together with a couple of right clicks. And then you can go from room to room to room.
We’ve been doing this for sales and for rentals. Now, a lot of the people in property management they’re worried because they don’t want to go into houses, they don’t want to meet people who don’t want to shake their hands. People don’t want to go to open homes, sometimes. So for sales and for rentals, especially for rentals, we’ve been doing it for ages. You use 360 technology and you can show people online what the house looks like. It reduces the amount of people that might want to go just to check it out. And you only get the serious ones that want to either go look at it to rent or to buy. Very simple, I’m gonna do this pretty quickly. You then upload that link that Thomas gives you to realestate.com. Realestate.com then puts it in as a second photo. So I’ll do this this way. You click on the photo, so this is how 360 cameras work, click on the photo, it spins it around. You then can look at the entire room. So this is a unit we’ve got in South Port, okay? So look at the type of room and you go, “Okay, I want to check out the dining room.”
So you flick there, it takes you to the front of that kitchen, there’s the entry door, and there is the dining room. We go, “Okay, now I want to go check out outside.” So go there and it shows you the sun deck, and you go, “Okay, well…” What’s this one? This is the bedroom. So I’ll go to there, check out the en suite. And you can basically do that and tap your way around the house. And it minimizes inspections. That’s just loading there. And then you just walked through the house as if you’re walking through and spinning yourself around. So, if anyone hasn’t got into 360 technology yet, and you’re not using the 360 cameras as much as you can see all the cool stuff that I do with it, you know, the tiny planets and the videos and all that. It is so good for vacant properties or any properties that you want to do inspections with, especially during this time, if you’re freaking out. So, if you haven’t got onto 360 technology, it is not new stuff. It is old stuff, it’s just made it super easy these days. Contact Thomas from Virtual Tours Creator, he’ll set you up with the camera, the tripod, and all that stuff, give you lessons. And then people can start looking at properties without having to leave their home, if they’re in quarantine and if they’re stuck somewhere. Or if they don’t want to go out in public, they can look at properties still. Now the real estate market is going insane. Rental are going insane. We’re picking up so many managements because of this kind of stuff that we use that no one else does. So, if you’re selling or you’re leasing or you’re a property manager or you’re a sales person, get onto this stuff. It’s so easy and it helps your clients out. There you go!
Any questions about it, ask me. Otherwise I’m gonna tag Virtual Tours Creator, I’ll tag Thomas and he can share this around. Guys, get onto it. Like, we got onto it before this whole Coronavirus started anyway. So it’s really good technology to just look at houses. People from interstate love it, tenants from interstate love it, ’cause they can rent houses out by looking at basically every single room. Sure, you don’t get the physical feel, but you actually get to see what everything looks like by spinning this around. So, get onto it. I hope that was a quick video. Thomas asked me to do it. So Thomas, I hope that helps you out. All right. Have a good time. Stay safe! Wash your hands. Don’t freak out about everything. Don’t panic buy, please! It’s really hard going to the shops when everyone’s panic buying stuff and you just can’t get your normal supplies. But anyway, stay safe. Be happy. Treat everyone with kindness. Talk to you soon. Bye.
