Real Estate Virtual Tours - Are They Effective?

By , About.com Guide   August 17, 2010

Follow me on:

I was just reading a popular blog, and the post portrayed virtual tours as a dying tool for real estate.  There were some really good reasons why real estate virtual tours aren't being used as much anymore, and I agreed with them.  But, what exactly is a real estate virtual tour?

Depending on how we define and produce a virtual tour, the technology used, and the quality of the production, there are several approaches.  Done improperly, the tour is probably of little use, sometimes doing more harm than good.  But, check out the different real estate virtual tour methods here, and how some could be quite effective.

I agree, James. I feel like virtual tours can definitely be an effective tool for real estate as long as it is done tastefully.

So what do potential buyers have to say about virtual tours?
Do they use them and do they like them? Does it help them in their search? Is there a poll number out there in cyber space possibly?
