Virtual Tours for Real Estate
3D tours and floor plans are an essential part of the modern home buying process. They give someone viewing houses all the information they need, including a virtual tour of the listing, speeding up the selling process, and giving you a higher rate of qualified leads.
3D Immersive Tours
People can visit a location and walk through the listing anytime. They can clearly see how the different rooms connect, giving them clarity when dreaming about a house.
This is much harder to do when you only have straight photos.
In addition, including 3D virtual tours in your listing information package gives the buyer more options when viewing the listing online.
Some portals, such as Zillow push the listing higher in the search results if it has a 3d tour.
Branding
Real estate agents know that branding is one of the critical parts of marketing. Good branding has elements of trust, reliability, as well as name recognition.
The branding tools we use in our partnered software show both your name and face to the listing, increasing your branding without extra charges.
The tour is also available in an “unbranded” version to meet your MLS’s requirements.
Floor Plans
Homebuyers want floor plans as it is a clear visual representation of what a house looks like. Having accurate floor plans with dimensions lets them see how their existing furniture will fit in the existing rooms.
It also gives them a bird’s eye view of how the rooms connect and relate to each other, which is again, is very hard to do with only traditional photos.
We also deliver PDF versions of the floor plans that include accurate dimensions. These can be emailed, or passed out to potential buyers while touring the home.
Reports
Reports are essential in any business as they give you the most important information that you are looking for. With our reports, you can show your seller how people are interacting with their home listings, and how any views they are getting.
With a few easy clicks, you can send a professional, clean, and branded report to your sellers. This will impress your clients with your knowledge of how well the house is showing.
Why 3D Tours are Needed Today
In the world of Real Estate, you want your potential buyers to experience the home they are looking at. They want to see every aspect of the house and how the different rooms relate to each other.
Potential buyers can’t always view a home in person, which is why 3D tours are so helpful. 3D tours give the ultimate touring experience as they get to visually walk through the house and see the floor plans in an easy-to-use platform.
Because of this experience, buyer’s can also easily rule a house out, thus giving you fewer unqualified leads and showing appointments, reducing your workload.

What 3D Tour Platform benefits both the realtor and home buyer?
There is a lot of different 3D tour platforms, types of equipment, and companies that are available to you. We wanted to make sure that the services we provided benefited both the realtor and the homebuyer.
If the service looked great but weren’t easy to use, the homebuyer would have a negative experience. If the navigation were easy to use but didn’t flow in the realtor’s sales process, they would have to do more work and, in return, feel frustrated.
We have tried them all and only offer what we consider the best. When looking at what service and equipment would be best for the realtors, we looked at a few main areas:

iGuide 3D Tours Benefits Explained
iGuides 3D tours have the best features that other software companies have with much-needed benefits that blow the competition out of the water. Like other 3D tours, they include 360-degree images that allow people to look at a room in an angel they want. However, that is where the similarities end!
iGuides have made the navigation experience easier by integrating the floor plan letting a viewer know where they are at all time. This decreases the effort a homebuyer has to use to memorize where they are when viewing a new home. Less stress means a better experience and a more positive view of a house. In addition, they include features, such as branding, high-resolution photos, video options, printable details, maps, reports, and much more! These are what make our 3D tours stand out and your listing more intriguing to buyers.
MLS and Beyond
As a real estate agent, you know the benefits of going the extra mile for your seller: Getting future referrals and impressing new potential buyers and sellers.
Simply uploading pictures to the MLS simply won’t cut it anymore in this competitive profession. Using our 3D tours gives you much more than a walk-around tour. It also gives you high-res property photos (more than the MLS might let you put on), property details, floor plans, measurements, and branding for you.
You can also include personalized branded videos to increase viewer trustworthiness and sales rate.
Our iGuides tour that you can easily link to your MLS includes:
Add Measurement information to MLS listing
Add branded and unbranded tours, depending on what your MLS allows you to do.
Add customed sized images for all MLS needs, depending on if your MLS allows for smaller or larger images.
Add floor plans JPGs to your MLS photo section
Example Advanced Floor Plan
Realtors can upgrade to advanced floor plans, which includes more details such as appliances and fixtures to the 2D model. For example, let viewers visually see where their sink and oven are instead of a plain room!
Floor Plans
We know the importance that floor plans have on listings. They provide potential homebuyers information on how the home flows, room sizes, door swings, window locations, and storage space. We chose to work with iGuides due to their recognition of these facts. They worked hard to provide accurate laser measurements for their floor plans, so your viewer will be assured what’s on paper is what’s in real life.
They went above and beyond and included their floor plans into their 3D tours giving potential homebuyers a visual layout of the home they are viewing. Other 3D walkthroughs don’t have this feature, and as a result, they are more likely to be frustrated trying to remember where they are during their tour. iGuide tours have fixed this issue.
One of the most important features they provide is letting users go directly into the floor plan or 3D tour and take their measurements. They can drag points along different locations to get specific measurements that are important to them!
All floor plans are available as a PDF download as well as online. This is a feature that is unique to iGuides (Not available from Matterport), and gives you extra freedom such as printing them out to hand to home viewers and send digitally for people viewing your listings online.

Branding
Branding is vital to any real estate agent because it increases confidence and trust that drives relationships between you and clients. So, the question is, how can I increase my branding with every listing? The answer lies within our system!
We add your branded information about you on the virtual tour, and these include your name, title, brokerage, picture of you, contact information, and your logo image. We can add branded videos to your listings as well.
These elements go a long way to putting a friendly face and reliable company to a listing. This will also potentially attract buyers to you which you can then refer to colleagues, or potential sellers that appreciate the extra effort you are putting into your listings. It is a win-win all the way around!
