I used it on every listing I took in 2016 to see if it makes a difference.
It's nice, but I can't say for sure it sold any home faster, hard to measure that result. I used on manufactured homes, condos and houses...all of them! It fluffs up the listing presentation too.
Bob Stewart is hosting a webinar tomorrow where some claim it's a must for Luxury homes. I'd have to agree, since it allows out of area folks to "walk the property". I'd definitely use it on homes over 3,000 sqft.

Someone here in the Rain does. I remember reading about it. I just cannot remember who. It might have been Tony and Suzanne Marriott, Associate Brokers - not sure.

I haven't yet but would for the right listing, but would use a photographer who has the equipment. I know Thomas J. Nelson, Realtor, CRS uses this

Yes, many people here use them. They love them, I think that they slow things down too much and would prefer a youtub video.

I used the services of a Matterport photographer who did a great job on a difficult-to-sell listing. The homeowners were very impressed but I'm not sure it ultimately helped sell it faster.

Sounds too sophisticated for an amateur photographer who still uses cell phone. When necessary I will use professional who has the camera to do the job

I think it is unique but the cost for me does not add up to a return on investment. Expect many more camers like this over the nect five years with much lower entry levels.

I'd use the service of a photographer with a camera, but not buy the equipment. I think it would be one of those things where you say "Okay what do I do with this now?"

I have used the Matterport demon alongside slideshows and video.
Although the homebuyer/seller was impressed, they were not all 'ga-ga' about it. What I did hear is they were unaware of how much time they just wasted.
That could be a benefit in itself.
I WOULD USE MATTERPORT if scheduling was more instantaneous and cost a little lower. I would buy the camera if priced at $2700. Don't see the return on a eventual $7,500 investment.

Looks cool. The real estate tours photographers do not get paid squat. I wonder how many tours they need to shoot to justify another toy....
Right now it is aerial time... Next year who knows....

No. It looks expensive but this is the way the technology is going. I suspect virtual tours will be the norm in 10 years. Think of the time and gas money we can save!

I have seen several of these used and posted here on the Rain. I agree with Bob Crane that they are slow and not engaging.

YES! I fell in love with the technology when I first saw it. I paid to have it done when I finally found a local company that could do it, but finally decided to just buy it and not hesitate to use it. Had to go out and buy an iPad again and a nice tripod so it was expensive, but thanks to a great 2016 and the need for a few tax write off's, it is now mine.

No, I prefer to pay my photographer to make shots and if it is a lease or fixer I do them with my Nikon.
