Just because travel is limited, it doesn’t mean you have to put your home search on hold. In fact, with today’s technology there are many ways you can tour a home without actually being there. Even if you’re local, but prefer not to attend open houses or take your entire family through someone else’s home, you can feel like you’re inside with one of these options.
3D Virtual Home Tours
When it comes to pre-recorded video tours of homes, you will get an excellent idea of the home, flow and layout. You view virtual home tours on your smartphone or tablet and move around to “look” around the room. Look up at the ceiling fan and down at the flooring. Turn to gain an idea where the closet is in relation to the room’s entry. These advanced video tours are not only a great way to look at a home but also one way to sell yours faster in today’s changing world.
Walk Through Tour
This type of video tour has been around for years. In some, the agent walks through the home, filming it room by room. Then, they edit it with comments on the screen to let you know the room’s dimensions, kitchen features, and other things you’ll find in the listing as well. This type of video is a great way to preview a home and gather a feel for its flow. You may gain a better impression than you would with pictures and a floor plan alone.
Real-Time Video Tour
One service many agents offer is a real-time video tour. This isn’t completely new. Often an agent did these with one partner if the other was unavailable to attend in person but needed to be included. Today, with the many options for video chatting, it’s easy for you and your Realtor® to "walk" through a home together. One of the benefits of this sort of video viewing is that you can ask the agent specific questions about certain elements in the home in real time, and they can show you things that may not have been shown or highlighted in a pre-recorded video tour.
