Virtually staging 360 virtual tours is a hot trend in real estate marketing as sales professionals look for new ways to make their listings stand out and get noticed.
360 virtual staging allows you to easily add furniture and design elements to any virtual tour, customizing it to appeal to different prospective buyers.
By virtually staging a 360 virtual tour, you provide buyers with the richest possible experience of the listing and entice them further by showing them various exciting decorating options.
So, in this blog post, we’ll show you how to virtually stage your 360 virtual tour.
But first, let’s explore why you would want to virtually stage a virtual tour.
Why Virtually Stage Your 360 Virtual Tour?
360 virtual tours are an engaging and immersive way to let potential buyers fall in love with a property before they have even physically walked through the front door.
Virtual tours are an effective marketing tool, but sometimes, a listing is vacant and, therefore, unfurnished. Other times, the furnishings are sparse or not attractive.
Here’s where virtual staging comes to the rescue. Virtually staging your 360 virtual tours allows you to do the following:
- Turn cold and uninviting empty rooms into beautifully decorated spaces
- Replace old and unappealing furnishings with trendy new ones
- Multi-stage each room allowing the buyers to see the many design possibilities
The power of these combined technologies is nearly unlimited.
Using both technologies together sets buyers’ imaginations on fire by allowing them to walk through the property and change the design and decor to make it “theirs.”
Now that you see the value of virtually staging your 360 virtual tours let’s show you how to create one easily.
How to Easily Create a 360 Virtual Tour
