Virtual REalty rocks.\u00a0<\/strong> According to Coldwell Banker research, buyers want to see virtual reality tours BEFORE they visit a property and they want to experiment with how their furniture might fit in a prospective home.\u00a0 Luckily, FloorPlanOnline has tools for every budget to help satisfy these needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":16273,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"Looking for that competitive edge?\u00a0 Check out VR.<\/span>\n\nWhat is VR?\u00a0 It is an artificial, computer-generated environment that you experience as if you were inside the image. Put on a virtual reality headset and you can go on a tour of a home without ever setting foot inside the door, not only making house hunting more efficient, but also helping to reduce stress in a relocation situation.\u00a0 As far as the selling process with VR, distance doesn\u2019t matter. You can offer the same experience to a client in the United States and a client in Hong Kong.<\/span>\n\nSimply put, VR creates an illusion of depth.\u00a0 So if you are in a Georgian home and you want to check out the fireplace, merely turning your head to the side will bring the centerpiece of the room into view. With a VR headset, prospective buyers can move around the house and get a feel for how the space flows and how the rooms link together. They can explore all of the details that may be missed on a photograph and get a much better idea of room sizes and ceiling heights.<\/span>\n\nOne problem that has plagued real estate agents for decades is that an empty home is a difficult sell. Without furniture and all of the other little touches that turn a house into a home it can be very difficult for a potential buyer to imagine themselves living in a particular property. With technology, the virtual solution solves this dilemma and \u2018staging\u2019 a home, just got less expensive and easier than lugging in actual pieces of furniture to fill a home when it\u2019s open for inspection. FloorPlanOnline's 3D floor plan solution allows anyone to drag and drop furniture onto a \"clean slate\" floor plan model and virtually stage it with furniture.\u00a0 Better yet, they can virtually change wall colors, flooring, or even experiment with removing a wall to see what an open concept might look like.\u00a0 Click a button and see it in 3D from the top, or go all in with immersive First Person view. Our 3D plan enhances some of the other cool 3D tours like Matterport, which show all of the sellers's stuff in the property, as well.\u00a0 We can convert any Matterport tour into a 3D model that allows you or the owner to do anything, all virtually and in real time.<\/span>\n\n\nBut how do consumers really feel?\u00a0 Coldwell Banker\u2019s 2018 Smart Home Marketplace survey reveals insights on how smart home tech and VR (Virtual Reality) are set to benefit consumers in a myriad of ways.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Their survey included responses from 3,000 adults revealing that:<\/span>\n
