Viewing a home before they walk into your office is important to clients in the virtual world of today. Since nearly eighty percent of buyers use the internet to find a home, it's important that you have the right tools at your disposal to help them truly see the properties you have for sale. Let's take a look at some of the visualization tools on the in the real estate marketing world of today.
These are fast becoming one of the hottest tools for realtors to use on their sites. Why? Nearly sixty percent of clients who view a virtual home tour online will schedule an appointment to actually walk through the house with the realtor. Virtual tours give potential buyers that unique look at the home that they just can't get through static pictures. What's more is that if your tours are linked to the right national sites, you'll be able to actually show the home to buyers in all parts of the country. That may enhance your sales figures for customers who are relocating to your area.
The only real drawback with virtual home tours is that they do take some time to load, and customers may be inclined to leave your site if their internet connection isn't fast enough to actually complete your virtual tour. In that case, you can offer virtual slideshows of the home as well. A series of static images of the home will flash on the screen of your website visitors. You can add text and links to each image, and if you wish, you may even add an audio recording to narrate the slideshow itself.
These are yet another way for potential buyers to get a feel for the home before they ever speak with you. Simply place the floor plan on the site with links to various pictures of the home. Running the mouse over a particular part of the floor plan makes your site display a picture of that area. For example, if the customer places his mouse on the kitchen area, he may see a fabulous picture of the space as a whole. As with the slideshow, you can add text and links to the caption of each picture.
