1.
Security: A choice of what to display to prospective buyers. One of the biggest
advantages to a virtual tour is the security it offers sellers and their property.
Most buyers are looking for a specific area to buy in, the views it offers and
the amenities and feel of the home itself. The exact location and address are
not necessary. For security purposes, or to just avoid bothersome "drive-bys"
we do not need to disclose the exact location of the home before qualifying a
prospective purchaser for an on-site viewing. There is also no chance whatsoever
of precious memorabilia in your home going "missing" or becoming "lost"
after a showing...and no chance of Kitty or Spot getting out and escaping to freedom
either. 2.
Convenience: No more last minute phone calls from your realtor asking you
to quickly "tidy up and take a long walk" because she has a "prospect".
No more wasting your time when your realtor wants to show your home as a comparable
property to another home she is planning on selling to her clients either. No
endless stream of "lookie-loos" and non-buyers. Perhaps most important
of all, your home can be viewed anytime, anywhere, worldwide by anyone who may
be a prospective buyer, and all at both your and the buyer's convenience, as often
as they want to revisit the home, or even take their friends, family and neighbors
for a walk through themselves. They can even email a copy of the tour to others
who may be interested! Oh yes, and there is no concern about pet or smokers odors
either and the long wait to "air out" the home. 3.
Interactive Exposure at a Distance: Well over 80% of buyers do their research
and often also their
shopping on the internet. In Baja, a majority are at a
distance, often from the USA, Canada and further abroad. The buyer in New York,
Las Vegas or even California is NOT just down the street. She cannot just hop
in the car and do a drive by, but still wants to see and feel your property to
save time and disappointment before committing to the expense and time involved
in a personal on-site viewing. With a MexEstates.com Virtual Tour they can "walk
through" your offering at their own pace, revisit rooms as often as they
like and control where they go. Simple slide shows of snapshots pale by comparison
and miss the "feel" of "being there" that a Virtual Tour offers
4. Qualify Prospective Buyers: All too often an eager, willing and qualified
buyer only takes a quick step
inside, decides its not the right home, and quite
rightly so. Why? The simple photos or in many cases, just a verbal description
only, were just not enough to accurately depict the property. And all this after
you have spent hours getting it ready for a showing! As an indispensable part
of a well-organized, professional marketing approach, including the specifications,
details of title, price and terms, and some still photography, the inclusion of
a virtual tour helps give a preview the many interior details and true panoramic
view as nothing else on the web can. The end result is less disappointing showings
and more qualified prospects. |
