REAL ESTATE & COVID-19
Due to recent COVID-19 restrictions in Brisbane it may be hard to sell any property and achieve great results. Private home inspections may still be allowed but sellers cannot expect great results with their sales by showing their property to just few buyers.
During COVID-19 situation a year ago Wingman Media saw a big demand in our service to create a property virtual tour to keep property sales running. We did tons of tours back then because once any new client tried our virtual tours they saw their potential and wanted to create a virtual tour for all their property stock.
Even after all that 2020 restrictions are removed our regular clients keep using our service to create property tours. They save their sales & marketing team time, bring them real buyers and help showcasing their property online to more potential buyers no matter of their location.
There are plenty of modern technologies that will allow to create a virtual tour for a property but the most beneficial that will work the best for all Real Estate market players is called Matterport.
MATTERPORT FOR REAL ESTATE
Matterport is a three-dimensional system that allows to create realistic, fully immersive digital twin of a property. Once a property is scanned with our top of the end Matterport Pro2 camera it generates a 3D tour of a property that can be shared & inspected online. In other words it acts as a fully immersive online property inspection tool helping owners to reach more buyers or tenants.
