Estate Agency is currently experiencing a time of great change as a result of innovations in customer service coupled with the use of some exciting new technologies.
One of these technologies, the on-line virtual tour, is having a profound effect on the whole property moving experience, especially since the pandemic for obvious reasons. As people are now much more comfortable with video, the virtual tour has become mainstream and many of our clients see it as a key factor in reducing the some of the stresses of moving.
Most homeowners would agree that they bought their property because “it just felt right” when they viewed it. However, it is very difficult for traditional property marketing to convey this “feeling”, no matter how careful or enthusiastic the photographer might have been.
So today, many of our clients’ properties feature a virtual tour facility on our website and the portals. The benefits to buyer and seller alike are huge. Buyers can begin to get some of the “feel” of a property in context, which helps them not only to rule out unsuitable homes, saving them time, but also “rule-in” the possibles. Then, once they have actually visited the property they can return to the virtual tour to refresh their memory or check out a specific point. The agent can also talk a remote purchaser through a property to ensure its suitability at an early stage. (We were leaders in this field during the pandemic).
Virtual tours can also weed out unsuitable buyers, thereby saving sellers time, hassle and heartache, whilst simultaneously elevating the calibre of the property.
