Are Virtual Tours Here to Stay or Have They Already Departed? - Market Tuesdays EP_11

People in general are resistant to change, technology seems to develop faster than people are willing to get on board with it. When the Covid Lockdown came about, the traditional showing homes in person became a bit of a challenge. Virtual Tours through matterport 3D and Snap iGuide have been around for quite some time but were not really utilized until this point. Obviously now with the lockdown this is something many realtors decided to jump on the bandwagon.

The question is, now that we are back to somewhat of a normal see in person environment will the Matterport and iGuide tours disappear? My guess is most definitely not, nor should they. It will be more apparent with luxury real estate but I think it's something that can be valuable for everyone. 

This is technology that everyone should insist that their agents use, my reasoning is simple. When people can tour your house in 3D from their home it will give them more of an idea on whether or not your home will suit what they are after. Therefore it can save some unnecessary traffic and inconveniences to you as the home seller. It's not a big deal to leave the home for an interested buyer to come buy and see it, but why leave it for people who are coming to see it because they're unsure? Matterport eliminates the unsure and has more serious people in my opinion. 

There's more reasons then the above but that is just a couple of points to ponder.
