benefits of taking virtual property tours

We’re seeing a whole new world right now: a virtual one! That’s right—it’s not the future, it’s the present. And at the moment, it’s reinventing how we navigate the real estate market too! If you’re searching for a home in the time of social distancing, check out the amazing benefits of taking virtual property tours.

Following Social Distancing

Following social distancing can be a bit overwhelming. Still, we don’t have to give up our lives, even as we safely observe recommended health and safety guidelines. One of the benefits of taking virtual property tours is that we can stay safe and healthy—and that we can continue to social distance too.

Exploring on Your Own Time

Many of us are working from home, teaching kiddos, or both! If you take a virtual property tour, you can explore on your own time.

Different Vantage Points

Zooming, aerial views, and more—you can see your potential new home from all kinds of vantage points on a virtual tour. How cool is that?

Long-Distance Exploration

If you live hundreds of miles away, you can’t exactly go and see a home across the country on a whim. However, you can easily go on a virtual property tour!

Search Results

A certain number of bedrooms, maybe an outdoor fireplace, or perhaps a butler’s pantry—we all want specific things from our future homes. You can optimize which homes you look at on virtual tours by using tagged or specific search results.

One-on-One Sessions with Your Realtor

If your Realtor is online to help with your virtual tour, it’s likely that you are the only person he or she will be assisting at the time. Taking a virtual property tour means you can have the undivided attention you deserve!

You Can Return and Look Again

It’s hard to visit a property on multiple tours. Not only can it take a while, but it can deplete your time and money. You can return and look at virtual properties again and again, though!

Hear From My Virtual Home Buyers!

Michael and Laura are moving to Auburn from Madison, Wisconsin, and needed my help finding a place to call home here on the Plains. With traveling discouraged, we relied on FaceTime home tours and virtual chats to make it happen! Watch the video to hear all about their experience with buying a home virtually.

Summary

Technology helps us navigate the world without leaving our house. Not only does it make the field of real estate more accessible, but it can also help us find our home sweet home.
