Given the current situation both in NYC and across the country, the real estate sector isn’t out of the woods just yet. Many are afraid to visit properties in person and some local governments have suggested caps on the number of people allowed to gather in an indoor space. With this in mind, the virtual tour has resurfaced as a safe and effective option for both buyers and sellers. Here are some ways virtual tours can get your property sold:

1. Virtual Tours Reach a Wider Audience

Virtual tours have seen a boost in popularity in recent years, allowing buyers to see 360-degree views of the space any time they like. With websites such as Streeteasy having designated sections and filters for virtual tours, sellers have all the tools they need to reach buyers and get their property sold fast.

2. Virtual Tours Have a Leg Up On Traditional Methods

One thing that many brokers hear from buyers is that the pictures of the property do not look anything like the property itself. Photo editing platforms make the process that much easier, showing potential buyers an idealized version of what is actually waiting for them. Virtual Tours, on the other hand, show a real-world view of what awaits them, taking much of the mystery out of home buying.

3. Virtual Tours Appeal to Tech-Savvy Buyers

A major demographic beginning to buy real estate are the Millennials. This demographic is much more tech-savvy compared to their Gen X counterparts. Because of this, the virtual tour has emerged as a tool sellers and brokers can use to set themselves apart. Having lived much of their adult life during a technology boom, Millenials are accustomed to having traditionally in-person experiences transformed into virtual ones, a goal the virtual tour can achieve seamlessly.
