Services for Real Estate Pros with Matterport

Real estate agents - are you looking for innovative ways to impress home sellers and win more listings? Matterport recently conducted a case study with Gina Howarth, an agent from RE/MAX First Choice in Rhode Island, who started using Matterport in October 2016 in her listing presentation to close more deals.

 

Since then, she has improved her conversions on listing appointments from 60% to 95% after using Matterport, having only lost one listing in 5 months. In addition, by leveraging the Matterport 3D tours in their online marketing, her average DOM went from 77 days (the state average) to 43 days, a 56% decrease.

Linda Itskovitz We use 3D vitual tours and found great alternatives to Matterport. The technology is spreading rapidly.

Matterport is impressive, no doubt. I don't think its for everyone in every market though.

Hi Ben! We actually find that many of our customers find success in low to mid-range markets as well as luxury. It is a great way to impress home sellers and stand out in highly competitive markets.

considering... Linda, in your opinion,  do you use Matterport in all your listings or there is a minimum price that is really worthy to have available?

Top agent teams like the Creig Northrop Team (the #1 agent team in Maryland) use Matterport on all of their listings, including low to mid range homes. It can really help promote your listings to remote buyers as well as tech-native millennials.

The baseline of 60% conversion rate on listing appointments is a pretty weak starting point. I'll check out the case study

Linda, 95% is quite impressive and nothing to be too bashful about really in any way. Good luck and continued success!

Hi I l am really impressed by the finish product of Matterport, I purchased all they had to offer recently doll house view, pictures (stills) and the 3D tour - the home sold quickly but I was a bit dismayed at how few people had viewed the 3D tour unless I showed it to them.  I got the feeling that buyers agents for the listing did not want to show their buyers as it was not something that they or their company's offer, maybe - maybe not?

I don't hear much about Matterport locally. There are quite a few alternatives to purchase if the need arises. It is difficult to keep up with all of the technology that comes at us.  It's a good problem to have.

60% conversion would be ideal for a lot of people but this is good information regardless

DIVORCE AND MARITAL BREAKTHROUGH ...

My life is back! After 3 years of broken marriage, my husband left me with two kids. I felt like my life was about to end and almost committed suicide. Thanks to a spell caster called Prophet Ayelala who helped me, which i met online; Some people testified that he brought their Ex lover back, and cure sicknesses such as Cancer, Zika virus, Herpes Disease, Sexual Infection E.T.C. Some testified that he can cast a spell to stop or approve divorce and so on. After reading all these i decided to give it a try. I contacted him via email and explained my problem to him. In just 48hours, my husband came back to me begging. We resolved our issues and now we are even happier, Prophet Ayelala is really a gifted man and i will not stop publishing him because he is a wonderful man. If you are going through difficulty and you are looking for a real and genuine spell caster to solve all your problems for you. Try Prophet Ayelala anytime and live a happy , you can reach this great Prophet via Email: Ayelala7demons@gmail.com or whats-app +2348069132476 thanks Troy Angela
