An effective real estate communication tool

Virtual tours have become an effective communication tool for real estate agents and developers. In addition to offering total immersion in your real estate complexes, virtual tours have established themselves as a new communication tool in the digital age.

With 90% of Internet users starting their real estate searches on the Internet, every real estate professional should concentrate his efforts online. Indeed, for your Web communication, this tool brings many unsuspected assets.

As Google's algorithms are more and more fond of creative content like virtual tours, their use improves your natural referencing and your appearance on search engines. This is already the case for museums and historical monuments. You will get more clicks and more customers.

Moreover, integrating an immersive visit to your website improves your bounce rate, meaning that visitors will stay longer. Indeed, textual information and images don't retain visitors as long. The use of the 360° tour therefore improves the interest for your offers, and more widely for your brand.

Still for your Web communication, virtual tours also improve your backlinks or links that lead to your site. Again, this allows you to improve your notoriety on search engines.

To optimize your digital communication, use the virtual tours leading to your real estate program:

  •         Integrate them into your website;
  •         Share the URL link on your social networks;
  •         Invite your visitors to share the link of the virtual tour with potentially interested people;
  •         Use a QR Code to scan at a trade show.

It is therefore an investment with significant benefits. The use of virtual tours offers you a significant gain of visibility online, and also reduces your expenses in traditional communication.

Virtual tour of real estate: a guarantee of seriousness and professionalism

Virtual tours are crucial information tools for all your prospects. Whether you work in B2B or B2C, it's a key element of your professionalism. In this age of digitalization, your customers expect you to provide them with faster access to as much information as possible. The virtual visit helps you meet this growing demand, while offering a unique, interactive experience to your future buyers.

By opting for a high-resolution real estate virtual tour, in addition to gaining a modern image, you'll more easily gain the trust of your prospects. For real estate professionals, the use of technology is essential for positioning yourself in your market.

A lever for marketing your lots

Virtual tours greatly facilitate the marketing of your lots thanks to their realism, interactivity and data. According to a study conducted in France, 74% of people appreciate the accessibility of this system at any time. Your prospects can access it at any time and without constraints.

Moreover, the virtual visit facilitates the process of selling your lots. Especially in real estate development where information is numerous and disparate, the virtual tour allows you to synthesize a maximum of information on a single medium. Enriched virtual tours even facilitate the integration of clickable buttons to access additional data: zoom, neighborhood mapping, additional audio and textual information, housing plan, etc.

Finally, your sales representatives will be able to receive more qualified calls and enjoy unexpected time savings. Moreover, according to the same study, 40% of the people questioned indicate that the use of virtual visits considerably shortens their decision time. Indeed, the immersive visit allows them to check if the property is in adequacy with their own expectations, which reassures them on their choices.

While 3D perspectives are increasingly used, virtual reality and virtual tours are not yet fully democratized tools. This is a major factor of differentiation.

It is therefore an effective way to save time and enhance your brand image. In the age of digitalization, you need to present yourself with the right technology to offer a unique experience to your visitors and convert them into customers.
