Question of the Day: "I wear mask, gloves and booties while Matterporting?"

DanSmigrod

6 yearsChemistrydoc (1977): @DanSmigrod Haven't gone that far yet - I always wear disposable booties when I work. Recently, I bring a small duffel bag that has liquid soap (Mrs Meyers Cleaning Day) and paper towels. As soon as I enter the property, I ask to use the washroom and conspicuously wash hands. I think I'll keep the practice even after this crisis passes. Stay safe! Keith

6 yearsDanSmigrod (32528): @leonherbert It's likely that we all agree that Matterport needs to champion creating demand: whether it is VRBO owners, real estate agents or general contractors. Obviously, as Matterport Service Providers, we would prefer that Matterport create the demand with the call-to-action to engage a Pro. On a tactical note, I am super-surprised Matterport would use that geeky, spider-web artwork to (try) to communicate an immersive,...
