"We can create a 3D model
of a home that allows viewers to walk through the house as if
they were actually there. We can add tags to highlight things
like the gas range or the granite countertops, point things out
to the viewer. It also creates a floor plan which people really
appreciate. It’s interactive and very engaging. Urban
buyers, especially younger buyers, have expectations for what
they want to see in an online listing. We knew we could provide
that." Read more about OneLook's digital marketing for real
estate here.
