Matterport puts your listings at your fingertips, which then allows you to send the virtual showing right to your buyers. A Matterport 3D Tour not only allows you to stand out from other agents, it also provides an added service for potential buyers.
Make the Most of Your Time and Your Clients Time
Every real estate agent has had the showing where their client’s eyes glaze over as soon as they discover there is a bathroom right off the dining room or the kitchen is hidden in the back corner of the house. While these important details may appear in the listing description, many popular real estate websites limit your character count. With truncated listing descriptions, most potential buyers rely on photography for information. According to Real Estate Tech Trends 2016, 83% of buyers find photography “very useful.” The issue with photography is that it captures snapshots of the home, without being able to tell the story of how it all connects. The layout is such an important part of how the residence works for the buyers. A potential buyer could love every single photo, but without knowing the flow of the home, they don’t truly know if will work for them.
Matterport is both photography and the description of the listing all in one.
Matterport Tours offer:
- An interactive walk-through tour
- Floorplan and Dollhouse views
- Ability to highlight features of the home with interactive mattertag icons
Your potential buyer can virtually experience the flow of the home, and understand if it will work for their needs. If they love the house, you can set up an in person showing, if it doesn’t work for them, no one has wasted any time. With Matterport you can save yourself, your buyers and your sellers a lot of hassle by eliminating unnecessary showing requests.
Show Your Listing In its Best Light
Have you ever had great photos taken of your listing, so good you almost feel bad? There are weeks of staging, cleaning, and preparation that go into your listing photography to make sure that everything looks its best.

Potential buyers can virtually walk through the perfectly staged and cleaned home, free of unwanted distractions. Matterport 3D Tours allow you to show the entire property in its best light, indefinitely.
