Real estate virtual tours in Montreal: using 3D to sell a house

Published on · by

As a seller or real estate agent, you know how much the viewing experience weighs in a potential buyer's decision. That is why one practice is becoming increasingly popular: 3D virtual tours. This article takes a closer look at these immersive real estate tours.

A 3D tour that encourages buyers to purchase

In 2022, 3D virtual tours offer an experience that is both interactive and immersive, giving buyers a clear idea of the house or apartment. They are particularly useful for exploring the property before seeing it in person, which reassures potential buyers and saves time by limiting unsuccessful in-person visits.

In the real estate market, it is not uncommon to visit a property only to be disappointed because the house or apartment does not match the photos. A photo can be misleading, depending on the perspective and its fixed angle of view. 

A virtual tour, on the other hand, lets buyers discover the actual layout of the property before visiting it in person: the people who do come to see it will be qualified prospects and much more motivated buyers.

3D virtual tour: a marketing advantage

When potential buyers can visit the property virtually before the first contact, your listing is viewed on average twice as often as a standard listing with photos. In real estate, as in every sales-related field, visuals and immersion are now what work best: prospects need to picture themselves in their purchase.

And if more people see and interact with your listing, you gain more exposure and are more likely to attract multiple offers. Ultimately, a 3D virtual tour could be a good way to increase the selling price.
