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.
