7 Great Reasons To Use Virtual Home Tours To Sell Properties
As a realtor, It’s high time to make use of virtual tours in the real estate industry.
Your targeted customers are those who have enough money to invest but not enough time for in-person visits to several realtors.
With virtual home tours, you can get them.
Because they can inspect your offered house as if they were actually checking them out in person.
So adding virtual home tours on your listing site is the wisest time & money-saving action that you can take now to sell your properties.
In this guide, I have gathered some of the most irresistible benefits you will get from adding virtual tours.
So, Let’s get started.
Why Use Virtual Home Tours When Selling Houses?
As I’ve mentioned earlier, virtual home tours are the latest and the most credible way to promote your homes for sale.
Now let’s look into some of the benefits of virtual tours you can get as a realtor.
1. Mehr potenzielle Käufer gewinnen
The only visual your customers before visiting are the photos you put up on your site.
Once they visit, if it doesn’t meet their expectations, they reject the offer in most cases.
Dies ist ein klarer Hinweis darauf, dass das Interesse der Menschen vor allem davon abhängt, welche Erwartungen Sie in ihren Köpfen über das Anwesen wecken können, bevor sie sich für einen Besuch entscheiden.
If you include a virtual home tour, the person viewing will be able to experience a realistic tour of the house while sitting at home.
They’ll be able to get a complete visual of how the house will look when they actually visit in person.
Now this will give you 3 major advantages:
- The person will stay longer on your site when exploring the virtual tour. Hence he/she will get more time to choose on your site and probably, eventually, get interested. The fact is the more you spend time, the more attractive it gets.
- People calling with any inquiry will have a good tour around the house. Hence, they calling means they are probably highly interested, and the house satisfies their requirements. Now, giving them further details will be worthwhile.
- Since you have a virtual tour, anyone asking to take a visit is probably interested in buying the house and you will have a higher chance of closing the deal. This is because the viewer will be able to get a good visual of the house and his/her expectations will match when he/she actually visits. Thus increasing the chance of buying.
And this is how virtual home tours can make a big difference and will certainly increase potential buyers.
If you include a virtual home tour, the person viewing will be able to experience a realistic tour of the house while sitting at home.

2. You can Provide Spatial Dimension of Your Home :
If you put only photographs, You must need to know that comes up with some limitations such as:
- Inability to fully demonstrate the transition and flow from one room to another.
- Incapability to present every angle and perspective of a room.
- Difficulty in assessing whether furniture will fit a space based solely on photos.
- Lack of detailed information about the home’s amenities.
And with virtual home tours, buyers to feel as if they are physically present in the property. They can control the tour and explore the flow, spatial context, and size.
3. Customers Can Select What to View on a Virtual Tour :
With photos and videos, Your site represents what you want to portray. Not what your customer wants to see.
But on a virtual tour, Your customers can control what they want to see. Buying a new home is as much an emotional decision as it is a financial one. Your customers what to take time while inspecting your house.
This freedom of choosing and exploring at their own desire will definitely get you more buyers
4. Focus On Closing Deals While The Homes Sell Themselves
Virtual Tours of Homes for sale can save you a lot of time and effort and will let you focus more on increasing your business revenue.
Now that you know that the person you will be dealing with already got a virtual tour, you can focus on closing deals, go for negotiations, and give extra details about the house, such as its history or neighborhood.
You do not need to spend hours over the phone trying to convince people with details about the house itself.
The homes are selling themselves through virtual tours. People calling has developed a genuine interest.
All you need to do now is set up a visit and work on closing the deal.
The moment a customer steps foot in the house, he/she will know that this is exactly what they experienced in the virtual tour and exactly what he/she visualized about the home that got them interested in the first place.
Daher haben Sie eine bessere Chance, Geschäfte abzuschließen.
3. Erhöhen Sie die Reaktion auf Folgemaßnahmen
As a realtor, you are always busy speaking with clients who are interested to buy homes.
You probably get people leaving messages on your site about inquiries or through e-mails.
And sometimes you get calls, while you are trying to close a deal, which you can’t answer and they leave voicemails.
All of these are hard to follow up on.
You need to list them and then get back to them, hoping that they are still interested.
And more often, people don’t respond to your attempt to follow up with them unless they are really interested.
Das bedeutet, dass Sie nicht wissen können, wie groß das Interesse einer Person ist, wenn sie die Anfrage gestellt hat, obwohl es offensichtlich ist, dass sie früher oder später bereit ist, ein Haus zu kaufen.
Having virtual home tours can make a big difference when selling properties.
You can be sure that the people inquiring, after taking a virtual tour, are probably interested to a great extent since they saw exactly what they will get, and probably that’s what they were looking for.
Hence, you will get a better response when you reach back.
4. Hilft, eine Entscheidung zu treffen
Even though you put well-crafted details on your sites, your potential customers will not be sure what they want and will probably visit several homes before making a decision.
But if you use virtual tours, your buyers will be able to get a detailed view of the house; a realistic visual which he/she will not get from other property listing sites.
So, that prospect might develop an instant interest and probably stop looking elsewhere.

It is good that you discussed briefly using websites to sell properties. My cousin aspires to be a realtor one day. This can be a good marketing tactic for him.
Dies ist ein wirklich großartiger Artikel. Etwa 50% der Käufer schätzen virtuelle Touren als Teil ihrer Online-Hausjagd. Ich persönlich habe mit Ricoh großartige Ergebnisse erzielt.
Dasselbe gilt für Ricoh Tours. Super einfach und ich brauche etwa 30 Minuten, um mit meinem Mobiltelefon zu erstellen.
Ja, Ricoh war schon immer da draußen, aber aus irgendeinem Grund haben die Leute es nicht in großem Maßstab zu ihrem Vorteil genutzt.
It really helped me when you said that the person looking at your home through a virtual tour can stay longer on the site and will probably be more interested since they have spent a lot of time looking at it. My husband’s sister recently got a new job in a different state and she has been trying to sell her home, to which I told her she should get help from a photographer. She mentioned that she has been looking at options, so I am trying to help her to finally finish the process.
Nun, virtuelle Touren können einen großen Unterschied machen, wenn es um Immobilien geht. Viel Glück für Ihre Schwester.
Interessant, dat virtual reality een rol kan spelen bij huizentours als mensen hun woning willen verkopen. Ik kan me voorstellen dat het een aanvulling is op een echte tour door het huis. In de coronatijd en lockdown zou het wel erg handig kunnen zijn, als mensen eerst virtueel een tour zouden kunnen doen en daarna beslissen of ze ermee door willen gaan!
Je hebt helemaal gelijk. We verwachten dat dit zeer binnenkort een trend zal worden onder makelaars.
You are absolutely right. We are expecting this to become a trend among realtors very soon.
