PR: LAMUDI AND MYPROPERTY Goes 360° Virtual Reality for Presenting Real Estate Properties

With the the emergence of Virtual Reality (VR) and 360° cameras, we get a new experience in visuals in the comforts of our home or anywhere for that matter. Now LAMUDI AND MYPROPERTY makes use of these technology to further market real estate properties.



Lamudi Philippines and MyProperty, the leading real estate marketplaces in the country, are looking to further improve property-buyers’ online experience via VR tours. With full 360° view of the area, Virtual tours give anyone who has Internet access via computer or smartphone a comprehensive view of a space from almost anywhere and at any time.

Lamudi Philippines’ Virtual Reality Specialist and Google StreetView Trusted Photographer Carlo Salgado says brokers and sellers stand to greatly benefit from the upcoming feature. “Interactive media such as virtual tours greatly increase views, and online listings with a virtual tour definitely receive more views than those without it.”

“Virtual tours would also save buyers, sellers, and brokers a lot of time,” Salgado adds, “as it works like a permanent open house, where property viewing can happen 24/7 even without the presence of the seller or broker.”

Virtual tours also offers the audience an idea of how these properties look during the day, night, and at different weather conditions.

The following weeks will see the increased availability of virtual tours on Lamudi Philippines and MyProperty, where users will be able to view an increasing number of properties from all angles and in one fluid manner. Both websites expect the virtual tours to increase viewership as a result; they will also greatly assist interested buyers in deciding on their next real estate purchase and help sellers and brokers efficiently market their properties to a larger number of prospects.
