This article on virtual tours comes to us from 66 Property, a leading real estate agency in Chiang Mai.
Open houses have long been the ideal way for real estate agents in the west to generate prospective buyers’ interest. But then the COVID-19 pandemic hit and the world as we know it changed. Lockdown restrictions and social distancing regulations were put in all over the world to assist in containing the spread of the virus.
The case was no different for Thailand, which was one of the first countries to be hit by the pandemic. Real estate agents in the country turned to innovative technology out of necessity in these uncertain times. These tools assisted them in marketing and showing properties. Among the most popular methods were 360-degree video and virtual property tours.
Neither of these are new when it comes to real estate. They had been gaining popularity even before the pandemic and the lockdown solidified the trend. Virtual tours offer a real-time way for prospective buyers to explore houses from all perspectives and angles. They are the closest thing you can get to an open house showing. Here are a couple of reasons that Thailand real estate agents are looking towards virtual tours.
View from anywhere
Thailand is a tourism-dependent country with a lot of foreigners coming to the Kingdom looking for real estate to buy or rent. Real estate companies that offer virtual tours provide their clients a way to view Thailand real estate from wherever they. This way clients get a clear grasp of the property they are viewing without being physically there. This greatly assists prospective buyers when it comes to making a decision on the property with confidence.
More time to view and consider your options
An open house viewing can sometimes feel rushed. The prospective client can feel that they are not being given enough time to explore and analyze the property they are viewing. This is quite the opposite when it comes to virtual tours. They allow the buyer to take their time and fully explore and analyze the property without inconveniencing anyone. This allows them to make better, more informed decisions about the property.
Thin out the choices and view only the ones you really like
As close as virtual tours come to in-house visits, they are not the same as physically being there. With social distancing regulations in place and the government urging citizens to stay at home, virtual tours can help prospective buyers thin out their options. They can then only visit the ones the really like.
All these benefits are what has motivated us at 66 Property to offer our customers 360-degree videos and virtual tours of our properties located in Chiang Mai.
