When does it make sense to have a video showing

The concept of conducting video showings may seem daunting at first, especially if you’re used to traditional in-person showings. However, the benefits of virtual showings with Showami far outweigh any initial concerns one might have.

When your clients are out-of-state

Real estate agents should use virtual showings for out-of-state home buyers as they provide an efficient and cost-effective way to view a property. With video showings, buyers can get an accurate representation of the home without having to physically be there. This eliminates the need for costly and time consuming travel arrangements, allowing buyers to view multiple properties in a short period of time. Furthermore, virtual showings allow agents to interact with their clients in real time, providing them with a more personalized experience. Agents can enjoy the comforts of their office while having a local showing assistant video the home for them and their clients.

When you need to maximize your time

Real estate agents often find themselves stretched thin with a long list of tasks that need to be accomplished in a short amount of time. This is where a Showami Showing Agent can come in and optimize your efficiency. By letting another agent conduct the video showing on your behalf, you can save yourself time and avoid the hassle of running across town to show a home and still be present during the showing.

This is optimal for a busy agent that wants to be present throughout the showing process but doesn’t want to drive across town to conduct the showing. Additionally, many real estate agents are using the virtual showing method if they are sick, on vacation, or away at conferences. As a way of seeing the home itself and being present throughout the showing process.

When you need an accurate property representation

Many agents hold their licenses in multiple states and continue to sell homes in both states. However, it isn’t cost-efficient to fly back and forth in an effort to show your potential buyers a home. This is where ordering a virtual home showing tour is an incredible solution.

Your clients can tour the home with a local showing agent, while you are videoed throughout the process. Allowing you to answer any questions the agent may have and it allows for you to see the home and determine if it’s a good fit for the buyer.
