We live in a digital age where virtual tours are becoming increasingly important, especially in the property sector. This technology allows potential buyers to explore properties in an immersive and convenient way, facilitating the property sales process.
Despite technological advances, there is still a
perception that virtual tours are reserved only for technology experts. In this
SUPERCASA Notícias article,
we'll demystify this concept, providing practical and accessible tips for creating your own virtual tour.
What do you need to create a Virtual Tour?
Creating a virtual tour is simple, you just need 3 key elements:
- 360º camera
- Tripod
- Virtual Tour App
With the
eGO Virtual Tour App installed on your mobile phone, you can control the 360º camera, capture the images, visualise them and transport them to the
eGO Real Estate CRM in a few simple clicks.
Tips for a successful virtual tour
1. Prepare the property
The first step to a quality virtual tour is home staging, i.e. making the property more attractive and appealing to potential buyers or tenants. It is therefore important to
- Open all the windows and doors and switch on the lights;
- Clean the property;
- Remove all personal belongings;
- Repair and renovate whatever is necessary to improve the appearance of the property.
All these elements are essential to the virtual visit experience, and make it easier for the potential client to imagine themselves living in the property.
2. Plan the sequence before you start
Plan the virtual tour as if it were a face-to-face visit. You should try to trace a natural path so that the images have a logical sequence when the client is viewing the virtual tour.
Remember that you should capture several points in each room, as well as making sure that you position the camera in an unobstructed location.
3. Set up the equipment
To start capturing images of the property, you need to place the 360º camera on the tripod, and it is very important that you adjust the height of the tripod to 150 cm from the camera lens to the ground.
This is very important as it allows the images to be captured at a height similar to that at which the potential buyer would view the property in person, increasing the realism of the virtual tour.
4. Capture the images
Once you've defined the sequence you want to follow, all you need to do is capture the images:
- If the property has stairs, take a photo at the beginning, middle and end of the stairs to maintain continuity;
- When entering a new room, make sure you place the camera in front of the door and not under it;
- Maintain visibility between shots, you should always be able to see a point that you have photographed previously;
- Follow the natural order as if you were visiting in person;
- Always keep the camera facing in the same direction in every shot.
5. Choose the best virtual tour service
To have quality virtual tours, it's essential to
choose the right service. With Virtual Tour, you can have quality virtual tours effortlessly. In just one visit to the property, you'll be able to capture all the images you need to publicise it!
