Real Estate's Blind Spot: Why Aren't 360 Virtual Tours a standard in India?

It's baffling why 360 virtual tours aren't a standard in the real estate industry, especially given the sector's significant marketing spend. This industry, which invests so much in capturing attention, still relies on what feels like prehistoric methods to sell properties.

Why this lag? Is it simply a marketing and management ignorance? Are virtual tours genuinely not the best way to showcase a property? Or, as is often the case, are real estate management teams slow to adopt, even when a technology has been standard for a decade elsewhere?

Manipulating photos and videos is easier than ever, but a 360-degree virtual tour offers far more integrity. If you're still not convinced, consider these compelling reasons to make adopting 360 virtual tours a top priority:

Nine Reasons to Prioritize Virtual Tours

1. Google My Business Advantage: Utilize your fancy sample flats and site offices. A virtual tour can significantly boost customer engagement and improve your Google SEO, as Google favors pages with 360-degree content.

2. Immersive Drone Shots: Let clients truly experience your property's surroundings. They can see the views, understand the exact location, pinpoint nearby landmarks, and visualize amenities—all in one comprehensive tour.

3. Trust with NRI Clients: This is a clear win. Build unparalleled trust with overseas buyers. With just a device, they can immerse themselves in the property and make informed decisions immediately.

4.  Effortless Re-visits: Clients can revisit the property and share it with family from anywhere, eliminating the need for repeated physical visits. This helps convert overthinkers into confident buyers.

5. Expos and Exhibitions: Allow potential clients at these events to genuinely experience your property on the spot, cutting through the noise.

6. Seamless Integration: Easily add virtual tours to your website, brochures via QR codes, and all channel partner media.

7. Market Leader Perception: Sadly, by adopting this, you'll be seen as an innovator, simply because it's not yet the industry standard.

8.  Zero-Friction Access: Embed QR codes on your outdoor media. People can instantly scan and virtually step into your property, creating immediate engagement.
