The technological advances that are happening all of the time have helped out a great deal for the real estate industry. One of the most current advances in technology for the real estate market is the introduction of virtual real estate tours through places like Virtual Image and Animation. These tours involve using a 3D camera to capture an entire home, or using software to create a virtual tour of a home that hasn't yet been built. In either case, this virtual tour is going to be incredibly beneficial to the builder, the real estate agent, and the buyer. This article is going to discuss 2 benefits that come along with using virtual real estate tours. 

Great For Long Distance Buyers 

A lot of the time, you may have someone who is interested in purchasing home, but aren't able to be there in person for the home searching process. While looking at pictures online can be helpful, they can also be misleading. Pictures generally aren't going to show the entire home and they can leave you confused about where certain things are located. On top of this, sometimes pictures are stretched to make rooms look bigger than they actually are. A great way to put a potential buyer at ease, and give them a real view of the homes that they are interested in, is to show them a virtual real estate tour. A virtual real estate tour is going to allow your client to basically walk through the entire house, and see all aspects of it, without actually being there. They will know where everything is and the accurate size of all the rooms. This will help them to feel confident not only picking what houses they want to look at when they arrive, but may also may make them feel confident enough to actually put in an offer on a home before ever seeing it in person. 

Perfect For Home Builders 

Virtual real estate tours are also very helpful when it comes to viewing a home that has yet to be built. In this situation, a potential client that would like to build a home may be trying to figure out what layout they would like for their home, but may not be able to envision what it is actually going to look like. With this type of technology, the contractor is going to be able to make a 3D blue print of the home that their client can virtually walk through to see if it is going to be how they envisioned it. This can help them to feel more confident with their home layout and more comfortable moving forward with the build.
