How Matterport Service Providers can Make Money with PocketBuildings for Commercial Real Estate

Hi All,

If you are a Matterport Service Provider using Single Property Websites for residential real estate, you will appreciate how you can make money with the PocketBuildings platform for commercial real estate.

As you know, Single Property Websites for residential real estate enable you to offer real estate agent clients an easy sharing solution for listings of property for sale or lease that includes all your real estate photography services, such as:

✓ Matterport
✓ Photos
✓ Video
✓ Aerial
✓ Floor Plans
✓ Map
✓ Text

PocketBuildings is like a Single Property Website - on Steroids - for commercial real estate. Like Single Property Websites, PocketBuildings enables the client to share all of the above for commercial real estate that is for sale or lease.

And ...

Unlike any Single Property Website solution that I am familiar with, PocketBuildings takes sharing to the next level in three ways:

1. Additional kinds of digital content
2. Additional ways to share digital content publicly and privately
3. Additional levels of sharing permissions

Additional Kinds of Content

Unlike residential real estate for sale, commercial real estate has a need to share ALL of the following with SOME of its audiences:

✓ Matterport digital twins (as well as RICOH Tours, HaloBuilder and other 3D/360 content)
✓ Photos (jpg)
✓ Video (YouTube, Vimeo, mp4)
✓ Floor Plans
AEC Files (SketchUp, Revit, AutoCAD, Point Clouds (las, rcs, e57), Visio and DWG files)
✓ Description (Text, doc, ppt, xls, pdf)

Additional Ways to Share Publicly and Privately

Unlike most residential real estate for sale that use Single Property Websites, commercial real estate has a need to share info in more ways that just property for sale or lease. For example (some public sharing, some private sharing).

✓ leasing info for Broker
✓ sales info Broker
✓ marketing (advertising, social media marketing)
✓ AEC (Architects, Engineers and Construction)
✓ Facilities Management
✓ Building Plans
✓ As-Builts
✓ Public Profiles

Additional Levels of Sharing Permissions

Unlike most residential real estate for sale that use Single Property Websites, commercial real estate has a need for some/all and public/private sharing:

✓ public sharing (some/all)
✓ private sharing (some/all)
✓ private sharing (some/all) via use-case (PocketBuildings call these Content Bundles)

For example, an architect needs a Content Bundle that likely includes much of what's listed above. The leasing agent likely needs a sub-set of the available content; including the leasing contract. For clarification, unlike a typical Single Property Website, not all content needs to be shared with everyone. The architect does not need to see the leasing or sales contract, for example.

PocketBuildings solves big problem for commercial real estate:

digital assets are spread-out among departments and even their vendors
✓ keeps of digital assets may have left the company; a void regarding where are these digital assets

So, every time someone has a need to digital assets, a labor intensive step is triggered to locate all the digital assets that are needed and then share them (likely via various platforms (which creates a mess of which emails include which digital assets). PocketBuildings makes sharing of Content Bundles super-easy and super-fast.

PocketBuildings enables a commercial property owner or property manager - or Matterport Service Providers - to:

1. aggregate all the digital assets associated with a building and place them in one location
2. create various Content Bundles for different use-cases
3. create sharing permissions (who has permission to add and share which content).

If you think of yourself as a solutions provider (of creating and aggregating digital assets and show how different content bundles can be shared and by whom), rather than a Matterport Service Provider that only creates content, you will position yourself so that:

1. You get to shoot all the digital assets
2. Potentially get a fee from your client for initial setup of PocketBuildings
3. And, as the trusted solutions provider, get digital asset orders for more buildings in your markets (and across the country and around the globe) (WGAN can help you find Matterport Service Providers around the globe.)

What's the next step in making money with commercial real estate?

On WGAN-TV Live at 5 on Wednesday, 3 March 2021 watch:

Intro to PocketBuildings for Matterport Service Providers (How to Make Money!)

PocketBuildings Co-Founder and Senior Vice President Gregory Moulton will demo the PocketBuildings platform for bundling, curating and sharing.

Call-to-Action

Depending on you - and your commercial real estate prospect - it may make sense for:

1. Your client to open a PocketBuildings account (and you publish to their account)
2. You open a PocketBuildings account - and once setup, turn over to your client
3. You open a PocketBuildings account and manage your client's digital content

The key is understanding how PocketBuildings creates value in the life-cycle of all commercial buildings (pain points solved).

What questions do you have about Matterport Service Providers leveraging PocketBuildings to make money with commercial real estate prospects (and existing clients)?

Best,

Dan
