6 yearsjen_ishayoga (33): I haven't had the chance to do my research yet but I'm intrigued by Asteroom and what it potentially offers to both the photographer and the RE marketplace. I briefly dabbled with Cloudpano's lifetime membership which includes free virtual tour hosting for life. I also liked that it has an in-tour scheduler that allows the agent and the buyer to do a remote walk through together. I will probably go back to CP in the future for...

"During the pandemic, Matterport has rapidly transitioned from being a niche product used by big budget groups in commercial and residential real estate to a standard...

Publish Matterport to Partners (Realtor.com is working. Homes.com is not)

6 yearsFmodjr1913 (37): Yea, from what I understand, the ONLY way to get a Matterport tour on Zillow is by listing it on an MLS that integrates automatically. Otherwise, you can't include a link and there is no designated spot or way to include directly. I'm assuming this is Zillow's way of making sure thier much less impressive Zillow Virtual Tours get attention. I sure wish there was a way to get some answers or support. There's nothing on the...

6 yearsGETMYVR (1977): I hate to say it Dan. I really do. The more I see how websites and virtual tours ALONE sell the sizzle of real estate without an agent, the more I know the only reason people visit a listing in person or do a drive-by is to validate what they already saw online. The reason most listings do not sell is the price. Once price is right, anyone can sell it, such as an agent agostic website & virtual tour, sans the Realtor(R). Thus I can...

6 yearsizoneguy (468): Because using Matterport instead of a Realtor walking around with her phone would take planning and incur a cost. Just marketing hype to capitalize on a "crisis". Plus most Redfin agents don't really make enough to market a home properly. https://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/Redfin-Agent-Salaries-E150726_D_KO7,12.htm

It looks like with a very little awareness for their product in my area publishing statements like this in a Facebook post boosting format is the only way to tell potential customers why this product is so good. Short google and bing ad formats cannot do it.
