Virtual Tours: A new tool for commercial real estate

Posted by Jeff Edberg on April 17, 2009

Virtual tours are not really new, but the technology has improved to the point where they can be really useful. They’re a time saver for anyone looking at property listings online. Virtual tours have been used in residential listings for a few years, but I have not seen many for commercial listings. The property descriptions can be interesting, photos very helpful, but a virtual tour well done puts you in the scene. You can pan and tilt, zoom in and zoom out on a room or a scene and you have the feeling that you are in the room.

This ability lets you rule in, or out, properties in your search. You can cover a lot more ground from your desk before you spend time driving around to several locations looking for a property that will help you. It doesn’t replace a visit, of course, but can be a real time saver.

I am adding virtual tours to all my listings. They’re not all done, but I’m working on it one-at-a time and find that my clients appreciate the effort. Here is a link to one I just posted for the sale of the Iowa City Press Citizen building. Click here for virtual tour I will post a commercial tour soon to give you an idea of the power and effect they have.

Stay tuned.
