3D tour vs. in-person viewing
A tour does not replace every visit. It filters them. People who arrive after seeing the tour already know the layout, so visits are shorter and more likely to end in a decision.
| 3D virtual tour | In-person viewing | |
|---|---|---|
| Available | Any time, from anywhere | When someone can open the door |
| Number of viewers | Unlimited, at the same time | One group at a time |
| Sense of space and light | Good | Best |
| Touch and materials | Not possible | Possible |
| Sharing with family or partners | Send one link | Everyone must attend |
| Cost per viewing | Nothing after the scan | Staff time and travel |
Our view
Which should you choose?
Use the tour as the first viewing and keep in-person visits for serious buyers and tenants. You spend less time on visits that were never going to work.
