Well, I'm not sure I'll never do another Sunday Open House, after all some sellers are old school and really expect it, but I am certain I will use 3D Virtual Tours on every listing going forward! I love the way you can move from room to room as you wish, and you get the true idea of space if the home is furnished. It's 24/7. It can save you from a lot of unproductive showings and wasting your time. Very cool tool! Try it out like I did!
