Hi All,

Inman (30 March 2020) Ways to digitize every stage of your sales funnel during the pandemic - The coronavirus pandemic is forcing agents to do much more of their previously face-to-face business over a computer. Here are a few novel ways to make it work

"If you’re reading this, you surely already know about Matterport, which produces interactive views of homes. The company has also been around for years, but told Inman that it is currently seeing an “upswing” in demand," reports Inman. '“For real estate, it’s a situation agents regularly face: a showing is cancelled because the homeowner becomes ill or is facing some other inconvenient circumstance,” Sebastian Badea, a director at Matterport, told Inman in an email. “In the face of COVID-19, it’s quickly becoming a daily reality.”'

"Matterport may feel like a stalwart at this point, but it has come up in so many conversations Inman has had with agents in recent days that it would be remiss not to mention it. And the takeaway from those conversations is that agents are increasingly leaning on 3D tours to do more; during the pandemic, such tours may be the best agents can do in certain cases when it comes to showings and open houses, among other things," report Inman. '“After this we’re going to realize the importance of Matterport,” said [Barbara Betts, broker and CEO of The Betts Realty Group]," reports Inman. "It’s also worth noting that while Matterport sells very high-end, proprietary cameras, it also integrates with imagery created with Ricoh’s Theta V and Insta360‘s ONE X cameras, and last year debuted low-cost subscription plans."
