I find that for Real Estate that they work best because of the detail you can get without having window blowout. Don't get me wrong this can be achieved in many other ways, but for me, having multiple photographers shooting, it seems this is most consistent. Post processing Is a long...

I am having good results from doing community videos and sharing them on my Facebook page and Youtube. Maybe if you build a little background footage and do something like this for one of your Realtor Clients it will turn into more work for you. I am just thinking outside the box and sharing. https://youtu.be/9cq_KtOYwMk

Matterport Syndication to 3rd party sites?

Cindiewozniak

3 yearspirusan (184): All, or at least most of the virtual Tour websites like Tour Factory or Real Tour vision offer syndication. So, if the Realtor is using one of those platforms they are going to ask about syndication. In any case, the most significant and, I would say the only relevant, syndication is done through the local MLS, hands down. Gus

You can use the "trim" process to clean up these anomalies. It is not difficult and only takes a minute. Then you re-upload your file and have it re-processed. They do not charge you for that.
