Benefits of Integrating AR in Real Estate App Development

  • AR Allows To Take Virtual Tours Of Apartments – Virtual reality platforms allow the user to tour an apartment, ask questions, record presentations, and make notes. An app named Realync works on the same perspective.
  • Saves Realtors and Buyers Time – It comes as a big sigh of relief for agents with AR/VR. Displaying homes has become a lot easier and smoother for their prospective clients. With interactive experience, AR apps also allow realtors to know when a prospective customer is viewing their property and their location.
  • Allows Clients to see the Location of Properties – The GPS Geolocation technology in the AR app allows the client to view the location of properties that are close to their current location.
  • Enables Immersive Viewing Experience – AR apps provide clients with a three-dimensional viewing experience as well as visual communication of property for interactive presentation. It allows buyers to experience the look and feel of property inside out.
  • Brings Life to Intangible Products AR lets you visualize the products in real-time in 3D (e.g. opening doors, rearranging furniture, exploring property amenities etc.) which reduces the sales time and increases the likelihood to pre-sell the projects.
  • Fasters Decision-Making Process – Some clients may miss out on finding the perfect property simply because they aren’t inspired. Immersive AR experiences narrow down the choices of viewers to explore more property since they get the abilities to envision the possibilities of their dream home and get a real-like view as per their taste and imaginations which easily satisfies them without having the need to hunt for more by going places.
  • Helps in Effective Marketing – Realtors can use AR-enabled app as an effective marketing tool. By seamlessly showcasing the properties to investors they can quicken their decision-making process of whether or not they wish to invest in the property. Furthermore, the geofencing feature allows realtors to send right notification and messages to the right audience at the right time.
