What’s The Next Big Thing In Real Estate?
To be successful in real estate, we have to do many things. One of the many things we need to do is read as much real estate content as possible. You can bet your last dollar that most all of the top producing agents spend a portion of their day keeping up on what’s happening in the real estate industry.
One of the many benefits of pouring through as much real estate content as possible is coming across the next big thing. And for the agents that adapt first, they have the upper hand on the ones that don’t.
Today, listening to the radio I heard a real estate segment about Matterport 3D Virtual Tours. And even though the business is in their early-stage, based on the report on KFWB, Matterport is going to be the next big thing in real estate. So what is Matterport? Matterport is a company that sells a specialized camera for creating 3-D images of homes. Now I know what you’re thinking; this technology has been around for a while, and “if” so you’re right! But Matterport cameras will make it possible for homebuyers to tour homes and see any and every angle inside the home, from the comfort of their home. It will even allow you to peer out the windows and see the exact same view you would see as if you were in the home looking out the window.
This new technology will allow homebuyers see everything inside and outside the home as if they were touring the home in person. Redfin- will probably be the first brokerage to offer potential homebuyers this new way to tour homes. They are calling it 3D Walkthrough.
Time will tell “if” Matterport will be the next big thing in real estate. From what I have heard and read, 3D mapping and interactive viewing platform is not only about to hit the market, but it’s amazing too!
