2. Why are virtual tours important for real estate agencies?

Users are increasingly basing their decision-making on what they see on the Internet. That is why companies are looking for more ways to create a closer link with their potential clients. There are many reasons for incorporating virtual tours in real estate portals. Virtual tours make those interested in your real estate agency’s properties confident that the services you offer will turn out to be just as they expect. This way, you will reassure parties about their previous doubts.

Websites that include virtual tours get a better positioning in Google. Therefore, if you have this technology, you will get your company to be among the first in the sector.

Moreover, they will be able to view your property portfolio from anywhere in the world and at any time of the day without having to worry, so that you can show them your own flat.

On the other hand, you will avoid unnecessary travelling expenses and you will save a great deal of time, being able to carry on with other tasks.

There is a study that reveals that the use of virtual tours increases the chances of users between 18 and 34 years old making a reservation after taking the virtual tour by 130%.

3. Why are virtual tours such a powerful marketing tool?

Virtual tours are a great tool for effective real estate marketing. Virtual tours, unlike photographs, place potential customers inside the property, offering them the ability to interact with it. This way, when they immerse themselves in the property they are viewing, they can feel the sensation that goes along with it.

KICA (Knowledge, Interest, Consideration, Action)

Knowledge: Customers are aware of the existence of your products and services.

Interest: Some users who know you are curious about your brand.

Consideration: They value you as an option for their needs.

Action: Users become part of your database: they register onto your website, make a purchase, ask you questions.

A virtual tour offers the opportunity to obtain much more visibility on the Internet, standing out from the competition and acquiring a privileged position in search engines. Companies that have implemented the virtual tour have increased their web traffic by up to 30%.
