LUCID VISIONS is your partner within the range real estate marketing and digital marketing. In the following, we would like to explain why virtual tours create sustainable added value and how you can benefit from it.
1. WHY IS A VIRTUAL HOUSE OR APARTMENT INSPECTION USEFUL?
Visiting a house or apartment is a time-consuming process for both the owner, the real estate agent and the buyer until the apartment or house is finally sold. A virtual tour can serve two different purposes, depending on your preference: Either you use this possibility of digitization to complement a site visit and offer both viewing options, or you replace the conventional viewing method entirely with the virtual tour.
Virtual tours offer you numerous advantages:
- TIME SAVING:
To be able to sell a property with the help of a virtual tour, it must be scanned once in advance by an appropriate professional with a 3D camera. A 3D model of the property is then created digitally from the data obtained. In this so-called "Dollhouse" the prospective buyers can move freely in your real estate and experience it virtually. A big advantage of this is that the property for sale does not have to be prepared again and again for viewing appointments, but only once at the time of the scanning process. Especially if the property is still occupied at the same time, frequent viewing appointments can quickly lead to time constraints and burden you during your daily tasks. - EXPANDING THE TARGET GROUP:
Online, a 360-degree tour is available 24 hours a day and from any location. As a result, the potential target group for the property for sale expands significantly. The digital tour enables buyers and investors in particular, who are not in the immediate vicinity, to get a precise picture of the property on offer regardless of location. This target group expansion significantly increases the chances that your property can be sold quickly and successfully. - EXPANDING THE TARGET GROUP:

2. HOW DOES A VIRTUAL HOUSE TOUR WORK?
Whether with smartphone, PC or tablet, a virtual tour can be done with the help of all internet-enabled devices. If the simple 3D tour is not enough for you, you can enhance the viewing experience by using virtual reality glasses and experience it even more realistically. If you do not have VR glasses at hand, this is not a problem, because the 360 degree tour is a true experience even without virtual reality 360 degrees. The house tour in digital form is simply integrated into the ad, which is published on Immobilien Scout, for example, using the link provided, and interested parties can easily view the property for sale from anywhere.
3. LUCID VISIONS - LET US CREATE YOUR 3D TOUR FOR YOU
These 3 steps will take you to your personal 360 degree tour:a
- SCANNING THE REAL ESTATE
We will hold a free consultation with you in advance and subsequently arrange an appointment to scan the property. The scanning itself is done with a modern and high-quality 3D camera. Later, the images taken during this process are used to create a three-dimensional, detailed image of your property, which is then used to create a virtual tour. The amount of time you should allow for the scanning process depends on the size of your property. For example, if it has a living space of about 120 m², you can plan on about 90 minutes for scanning. - CREATING A VIRTUAL HOUSE
After the scanning process, the spatial data that was previously captured with the 3D camera is processed further. In the process, the collected data is merged to create a 3D model of the entire property that prospective buyers can walk through virtually. In addition, the integrated measurement mode makes it possible to carry out measurements within the premises with an accuracy of (±) 1 % and thus already think about a possible living space design. - MAKING THE VIRTUAL TOUR AVAILABLE
After the 3D scan has been completed and the model has been finalized, you will receive a link and an HTML code to your personal virtual tour. This link can be integrated in many ways, for example on an online marketplace such as Immobilienscout24. You can also integrate the HTML code on your own website and thus embed the tour directly into the page - regardless of whether the page was created in HTML or with a CMS such as Wordpress or TYPO3. From this point on, it is possible for interested parties to conduct the home inspection online and take a close look at your property in every detail. Also an apartment viewing in 3D is possible from this point on and virtual tours will help the marketing of your property from now on.
4. ALL-ROUND VIEW THANKS TO 360 DEGREE IMAGES
Does your property that you want to sell have an outdoor area? Then you are surely wondering what happens to it. Can this also be seen through a virtual home inspection? The outdoor area and the immediate surroundings of a property are also very important for prospective buyers. Of course, we offer you a modern and innovative solution for this as well, because outdoor areas of your property can also be shown virtually using 360-degree images. In addition to the interior, the garden area, the infrastructure or the immediate surroundings of your property can be presented in the best possible way and made available to the extended target group. They can get a comprehensive impression of the location, the transport connections and the external condition of the property for sale. Prospective buyers can also get an almost realistic idea of what it would be like to live in the property by taking a virtual tour of the exterior.
5. OUR CHECKLIST FOR A VIRTUAL TOUR FOR INTERESTED PARTIES
A 360-degree tour offers the prospective buyers of the property almost the same possibilities as you have when visiting an apartment or a house on site. Therefore, the following checklist for prospective buyers participating in a 3D tour is almost identical and comparable to a checklist you should follow during classic viewing appointments.
Prospective buyers should ask themselves the following questions during the 360 degree tour:
- What about the room layout and the number of rooms? Do these match your needs and ideas?
- Do the size of the windows, the ceiling height and the cut of the individual rooms fit your ideas and wishes?
- How are the lighting conditions in the apartment or house? Is there enough sunlight coming in so that you can feel comfortable and at home in it?
- How is the property connected and what does the exterior of the property look like? Do these meet your expectations?
- Does the property have sufficient parking?
Of course, above presented house inspection checklist is not conclusive. It serves only as a small reference point for you, what you should pay attention to at a viewing appointment apartment or house. In addition, you should add other points for yourself that are important to you personally. This could include, for example, the bathroom and the question of whether there is a bathtub or shower in it. The question of whether there is a window in the bathroom can also be an important criterion. No matter which criteria seem important to you, you can check them all through the 3D tour and the 360 degree images and thus find exactly the property that suits you and your needs.
CONCLUSION
Should sellers of real estate and real estate agents rely exclusively on virtual viewing in the future? When it comes to selling real estate, selling apartments and viewing houses, it is conceivable that both types of viewing will prevail in the future. The reason for this is that both types of viewing offer advantages. In order to be successful in real estate marketing and to sell the apartment quickly and successfully, it is therefore advisable to rely on the combination of VR tour and a classic visit to the apartment. On the one hand, this combination allows you to address a target group that would like to see the property for themselves on site, and on the other hand, you also reach people who cannot be on site at the moment because they live abroad, for example. This ensures that you reach a maximum number of interested parties for your property for sale, which will significantly increase the chances of success for an early sale.
In addition, a virtual tour is a great time saver and reduces the number of on-site viewing appointments. The latter is an enormous advantage, especially during the current pandemic. Let us advise you without obligation and free of charge - we look forward to your inquiry!
