Dear Real Estate Professional / Builder,
My name is Alan Beckwith, owner of Full Circle Vision, an innovative company providing virtual tours for the real estate industry. Our goal at Full Circle Vision is to provide you with a service that will help you save time, show and sell more homes, and gain a competitive advantage over the competition.
As you may well know, a virtual tour is a computer-generated, full-color, photographic “walk-through” which allows the viewer to “step inside” the photo and look up, down, left, or right, in whatever direction they decide (not just panning left or right like many other companies offer – but a full 360 o in any direction!). And not only that, the enhanced version of our tours increase the viewer’s experience by allowing them to flow from room to room – a true virtual walk through. It really gives the viewer a sense of “being there” without really being there, and is an amazingly cost and time effective and a colorful way to show locations to perspective buyers.
Why are many real estate agents and brokers who use 360-degree virtual tours so successful? Consider the
following:
-
85% of online buyers use virtual tours in their previewing
process1
-
Realtor.com users select the “Virtual Tours First” feature an average of 107,000 times PER DAY!
2 That’s over 3.2 million times a month!
-
Listings with virtual tours receive 20x the number of visitors compared to a listing without photos and 6x the traffic compared to listings with only one still photo!
2
-
66% of home buyers in the first half of 2003 used the Internet to search for a
home.1
-
The average online listing with a virtual tour receives 40% more views than listings without
tours. 2

As is obvious from the above statistics, the average home buyer prefers a virtual tour walk through of a home over a still photo or worse yet, a site with no photos at all. We have also found in our local market research that most people prefer a virtual tour of a home over photos or even a slide show. We have heard comments like, “It let me go back through the home a second or third time without actually being there!” (Laura Wagner, Ocala FL).
Perhaps you’ve thought about having virtual tours on your website, but, like many busy people, you just haven’t gotten around to it. It may be time to take a closer look.
Call today so we can schedule your first virtual tour with Full Circle Vision. I guarantee we will make the on-line display of your listings “the next best thing to being there!”
Sincerely,
Alan Beckwith
Owner
