360 Virtual Tour Software - Real Estate 360 Virtual Tour

Have you decided to order a 360 virtual tour? Would you like to start a 360 tour company? If you said “YES” to either one of those questions, New Tour Era has the very best solution for you. All of our 360 virtual tour software utilize our proprietary in house technology that we guarantee will impress you and your clients. Making a decision to use the Real Tour Vision real estate virtual tour provider network or our virtual tour software for your 360 virtual tour needs is the choice that allows you to stay ahead of the competition at all times and, of course, look your very best.

When searching for a 360 virtual tour solution for your real estate needs, there are many factors to consider. I am a firm believer that real estate agents should not use do-it-yourself solutions for residential listings if they make the Realtor look anything but professional with the finished online tour.

Here are a few questions that you should ask every 360 virtual tour provider and virtual tour Software Company before scheduling or ordering that 360 virtual tour or 360 virtual tour software.

1. What type of 360 virtual tour do they provide? Some ‘360 virtual tour’ companies capture only still pictures and then use these pictures to create a motion effect. Make sure you are not paying a 360 virtual tour price for a motion slide show. There are companies that charge as much as $70-$100 for these tours and the final product is nothing more than a $20 photo presentation that you could have just as easily gotten for free online. Google it and see for yourself!
2. Is the final version of the 360 virtual tour interactive? How do they define 'interactive'? Make sure that the final product being created looks professional and has in-tour controls. Links to the side and the bottom of the tour are distracting and unprofessional. Interactive tours combine the power of a 360 virtual tour with the ‘point-and-click’ functionality of the internet. They have on tour ‘hot-spots’ that enable viewers to go from room to room without ever leaving the viewing area.
3. What kind of camera lens do they use? If they use a One Shot Lens or a fish-eye lens will the 360 virtual tour software remove distortions in the tour (i.e. remove the fishbowl effect)? High-quality 360 virtual tours should not distort any feature of your properties. If not corrected, fish eye lenses cause countertops and walls to look rounded and windows will look bowed. When shopping around for 360 virtual tours, be sure to opt for companies that use a wide-angle lens. The wide angle lens captures more of the property without sacrificing quality.
4. Do they have more than one virtual tour photographer? Face it, things go wrong and your time is limited. If they only have one photographer and that photographer gets sick or cannot make your appointment, make sure that the company can have an alternate photographer arrive at your scheduled appointment.
5. Do they carry liability insurance with sufficient per occurrence and aggregate coverage? You do not want to be left paying for damages to a sellers home if a photographer were to cause unintended damage. 360 virtual tours require that equipment be carried into and out of residential homes. Many homes have very expensive vases, statues and even furniture that can get unintentionally damaged.
6. Are they experienced? Find out right away if your 360 virtual tour provider has experience. Although inexperienced companies will be very eager to sink their teeth into a job and will probably give you a very good 'deal', you do not want them 'practicing' on your dime. Make sure to get references or check out testimonials.
7. Can they provide additional services such as videography, video production, professional CD development, or other marketing support? Some properties warrant additional services to enable you to compete with other real estate agents. If you are looking to list a high-end seller, be sure that you can offer additional high-end services.
