Spence over at the Z Group listed an investment property with an agent in Seattle, who put the home on Zillow – no surprise there:

The agent also included a 3D tour by Matterport – which has received the usual ballyhoo as the next big thing in real estate promotion. How do you like this manually-driven 3D tour, compared to video tours?
that is a great preview. nice complement to your video tours with commentary, as it allows you to spend time and spin around to get a better feel of the layout!
I just spent $750 to get a traditional floorplan done for my house + the cad files. (1st step in the permitting process.)
If you could get the floorplan from the 3D model this would pay for itself. Buyers would be purchasing the house + correct floorplans. Most buyers are going to do some modifications anyway after buying. If you had something like this 3D model it would save a lot of time letting contractors into your home.
Wow, Jim! It’s just like walking through the house. Much like when you walk thru w/ your video camera. I think it’s just another awesome tool in real estate.
Should be real boom for out-of-state buyers to look at prospective homes. Of course, I would still buy a plane ticket to look in person, but this time-saving tool would be an extraordinary aid to a “short list” with 3-4 homes on it.
I agree with what everyone said. Btw, I’m on an iMac, Safari, 10.10.3
It’s important these tools work easily with the different browsers/systems.
2 thumbs up.
The 3d looks great. It’s very functional. However, it seems a bit sterile. What it needs is a nice jtr audio overlay. Maybe a “Push here for Jim’s take” at various parts of the house.
using the 3D tour takes me back to my college days….err, nights, spent playing Doom on the computer.
As an evil landlord I can see how this will clear up any number of disputes.
