Real estate: the viewing before the viewing.
Anyone who has already walked a property arrives at the viewing with specific questions instead of general curiosity. That saves you the appointments that would have led nowhere.
CoWorking Space FF51
Commercial space with open and enclosed work areas — walkable for prospects who want to check the layout.
What a tour does for marketing a property
- Qualification
Fewer viewings, better viewings
Prospects who already know the layout rule themselves out when it does not fit. What remains are the people genuinely in contention.
- Reach
For buyers from further away
Job relocations, investors, relatives abroad: for anyone who cannot simply drop by, a tour is often the basis for the decision.
- Commercial
Making offices and coworking legible
With commercial space, what matters is how the areas connect: open desks, meeting rooms, kitchenette, storage. In the tour a prospective tenant’s whole team sees the layout, not just the one person who comes to the viewing.
- Documents
Floor plan and measurements included
The capture yields schematic floor plans, and wall lengths or ceiling heights can be measured directly in the model — no second appointment with a tape measure.
- Pitching
A visible argument for property owners
Owners choosing an agent want to know how their property will be presented. A tour from an earlier listing shows that more concretely than any description of services in a brochure.
- Record
Condition at handover
For lettings and sales, a tour documents the state on a given date — useful when changes are discussed later.
Marketing property consists largely of appointments that lead nowhere. Photos show individual rooms but not the relationships between them: how you get from the hallway to the kitchen, whether the bedroom really faces the street, how the layout actually feels.
A tour answers exactly those questions before anyone gets in a car. For you that means less effort per completed sale — for prospects, fewer disappointments.
What prospects see in the tour
Prospects use the tour in whatever way suits their decision: quietly in the evening, together with a partner, a second or third time before calling back. The dollhouse view shows the whole property at a glance, the floor plan shows how the rooms relate to each other, and the measuring tool answers the question of whether the sofa will fit against that wall.
What a tour does not replace stays with the viewing on site: noise from the street and the neighbours, the surroundings, the impression on arrival. It shows rooms, fittings, light and how the space feels — precisely what photos convey least well.
Commercial space and coworking
With commercial space this matters even more. People looking for an office, a practice unit or a place in a coworking space rarely decide alone. A link that can be passed around the management team or the whole office brings everyone up to the same level before anyone has to coordinate a joint viewing.
Coworking spaces have the added factor that the offer is constantly aimed at new members. The tour shows private offices, flexible desks and shared areas in context, and it stays valid even when individual desks change hands.
Preparation
There is little for you to prepare: tidy rooms, lights switched on, personal photos and paperwork out of sight. In occupied properties it is worth a quick word with the occupants about what should be visible in the tour. In vacant properties, check beforehand that all lights work and the shutters open: dark rooms look smaller in the tour than they are. We agree together beforehand which areas are included, such as the cellar, loft or garden.
Frequently asked questions
Your question is not listed? Ask us directly.
Is it worth it for small apartments?
For standard apartments in sought-after locations, price usually decides, not presentation. A tour pays off far more for properties that need explaining: rambling period buildings, commercial space, houses needing work — wherever photos fail to convey the layout.
How long does the capture take?
That depends on floor area, number of storeys and how intricate the layout is: a rambling period building needs more scan positions than an open-plan new build of the same size. We work out the time required in advance during the walkthrough, on site or by phone using photos.
Are the measurements from the tour good enough for a floor area calculation?
They are intended for marketing: wall lengths and ceiling heights can be measured in the model, and the floor plans are schematic. For a binding floor area calculation, or as a planning basis for a conversion, a laser scan is the better choice.
What happens to the tour after the sale?
You decide when it goes offline. The first year of hosting is included in the project price; after that you decide annually whether it stays online.
Can we embed it in property portals?
Yes, by link or embed code — depending on what each portal permits.
