It’s not just homes that prospective buyers want to tour. Matterport and virtual tours can and should showcase more than a home plan.
- Club House or Amenity Center
Shoppers are looking for more than just a home, they are buying the community as well. Matterport or virtual tours of your clubhouse or amenity center can especially help remote shoppers get a better understanding of where they are going to live and its many benefits.
- Design Center
Have an amazing design center? Capture your design center with a Matterport tour! It will give prospective buyers an idea of the process even before they buy. You can even link room visualizers right within the design tour that link to actual products that you offer through an integration with your Envision online design center.
- Pre-Dry Wall
Pre-Dry Wall Tours are a great leave behind for buyers. These detailed tours give home buyers a guide on where electrical and plumbing is within their home which will expedite any future work that may be needed. It’s also a transparent way to show the quality of your work.
Interactivity Makes An Impact
Visualizers bring rooms to life and let shoppers see their selections in real-time. In addition to being able to change options in a virtual environment, shoppers can also learn about and see your options with an integration of the Envision online design center in pre-sales mode.
Use a visualizer to generate high-quality leads. Shoppers will need to create an account to save their designs, therefore generating a high-quality lead.
Visualizers can also be incorporated right within your online design center for a rich online experience after contract.
