Selling homes is a challenging process, and this is especially true in the summer of 2020. However, the housing market is highly adaptable, continually evolving to meet the needs and demands of clients.
Technology has long been at the heart of the property market, and we believe 360 virtual tours are essential.
360 virtual tours are not just helpful during the lockdown process
There is no denying the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the housing market, and how houses are bought and sold. The emergence of video content, filmed walkthroughs and 360 virtual tours have been essential in ensuring the market continues to operate right now.
However, these virtual tours were available before 2020, and their presence in the market will be felt for many years to come. At Holdencopley, we are firm advocates of this technology as part of the sales process, and here are some of the benefits of 360 virtual tours:
- 360 virtual tours save a great deal of time, both in travelling and in viewing homes, which is helpful for many buyers, agents and vendors
- In the initial phase of a buyer viewing properties, a 360 virtual tour helps them to create firm opinions on what a property has to offer, allowing them to narrow their options effectively
- For buyers, 360 virtual tours not only save time, but they also save money associated with travelling to view a property, helpful when some buyers are lined up to see many homes
- Vendors can receive input from friends and family members via the video tour, no matter where these people are located
- Buyers who have undertaken a video tour of a property, and then follow up this interest are more informed, and in a better position to make an offer on the property
Virtual tours help to lower the number of physical viewings which take place at a property. There will be some vendors who are concerned about this, but it is a positive outcome. Lowering the quantity of physical viewings isn’t an issue when you improve the quality of these viewings.
Improve the quality of physical viewings
By offering virtual tours, you whittle down potential buyers. If someone is unlikely to make an offer on your property, it is best to remove them from the process as soon as possible—virtual tours aid this outcome. When you have a prospective buyer, who has reviewed the virtual tour, more likely more than once, and they want to book a physical viewing; they have a greater level of intent.
Our Dolls House 360 tour is just one of the ways that we promise to provide you with the best standard of service. This is a service that you won’t find from the majority of local agents, and we are delighted to say the feedback on these tours has been hugely positive.
