Accuracy is an important aspect of any real estate listing, which is why an app called VR Maker may soon become your new best friend.
VR Maker allows you to create a 360° presentation right from your smartphone, creating a seamless virtual reality experience in minutes. Such a presentation allows your clients to view properties’ interiors in crystal-clear detail, thereby removing some of the mystery from your real estate listings and bringing you closer to making a sale.
The way that the VR Maker works is simple: after signing up at iStaging website, you receive a 720° camera attachment for your smartphone (both iOS and Android are supported) along with a rotator unit on which you mount your smartphone. With the VR Maker app installed, all you have to do is make sure that everything is connected and tap “Capture”—VR Maker and the free equipment will do the rest of the work.
“The work” in the above context is quite impressive. VR Maker creates distortion-free 360° images of entire rooms with ease, allowing you to make a virtual house tour for which clients never have to leave the comfort of their homes. This footage also means that you don’t have to worry about uploading 100 photos at a time to make sure that every angle is covered—you can most likely cover the average house in one to two shots per room.
Having 360° footage of your properties isn’t necessary, but it lends a degree of credibility to your listings; after all, it’s hard to hide shortcomings in a home’s guest bathroom when one can see the entirety of the room. Similarly, having a high-definition, comprehensive view of the property gives you a leg up on the competition, and it certainly doesn’t dissuade clients from checking in.
Your clients’ comfort aside, using VR Maker will prove to be a huge time- and resource-saver for you as well, given that the app and equipment take little pre-existing knowledge to use and the shooting process is significantly more efficient than is traditional real estate photography.
