Like many people we learned a lot during the lockdown. When the property market went on hold for the best part of six weeks, we had time to look at how we were going to do things as an estate agency.

Top of our to-do list was to look at ways we could make our clients life a bit easier.

The need for social distancing and reducing the risks linked to Covid-19 led us to invest in virtual technology, which allows us to sell homes more safely and successfully.

We have equipment and mapping software which allows us to take a virtual tour of your home. It is a very fancy way of doing things, but we see virtual tours as a ‘must have’ in the future as buyers become more tech-savvy.

Here is how it works
We visit your property and using our camera and computer software we map out your home with a video tour which you can access and control from a device, be that a smartphone, tablet or good old PC. If you’re lucky enough to have a headset they are even more detailed, working with your every move.

Why it works
Creating a video tour which a viewer can control from the comfort of their own home means you can reduce the number of in-person viewings. At first glance that sentence might seem odd as to achieve the best possible price, you need the maximum amount of people viewing a property to create the interest and demand.

The number of online viewings increase dramatically because a virtual tour tells a much more detailed property story than a slideshow of photos. If people are really interested in your property, they will then request a viewing in person.

How much does it cost?
At Butler Residential we offer a full 360 immersive virtual reality tour at no additional cost. We believe in full transparency and do not believe that should come at an additional charge for any property, big or small. So along with a fully personalised and bespoke marketing plan, a personal property video, high quality images and floorplan, you can expect a 360 virtual tour as standard. This is aimed to enhance your property across many different media channels and formats.

Seeing is believing
Words don’t do this technology justice so if you want to see how one of our virtual tours looks please head over to http://butlerresidential.co.uk/property-for-sale and see for yourselves. Alternatively you can email us hello@butlerresidential.co.uk and we will happily send you a link to a featured property.
