The Importance of Virtual Walkthroughs
Virtual Walkthroughs were a bonus to a listing in the past, but have become a necessity in today’s market. If you are thinking of selling your home, it is very important that you choose a Realtor who offers this service as a part of their process.
Buyers are able to view your home from the comfort and safety of their couch. It’s as simple as opening up a webpage on their phone, tablet or computer. The more eyes on your property, the higher likelihood that it will sell quicker and for more money.Instagram versus real life, we all gravitate towards those beautiful posed photos, and the same thing goes for buyers when they’re looking at homes online.
We’ve said it before, 99% of buyers start their home search online. Your photos are going to be the buyer’s first impression of your home, so it better be a great one!
We all know this, “You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression.” How your home looks online is the first impression buyers will have of your home. A beautifully presented home is going to grab a buyer’s attention. And while quality photos are also great and necessary, we also frequently hear buyers say that they wish they could come see the layout of the home online. Well, their wish is our command. Enter the fabulous Matterport camera and software.
This 3D camera not only takes great photos, but more importantly it creates an immersive experience, allowing buyers to view the layout of your home with the 3D dollhouse view, while also allowing them the ability to virtually walkthrough your home before they ever step foot inside. This is important because, according to the National Association of Realtors, 67% of buyers will actually walk through a home that they’ve toured online. This will help your home stand out from the competition and be more memorable to buyers.
Virtual walkthroughs are not widely used in Seattle, but it is a part of the services that we offer our clients.
