Friday Freebie: 10-Step Guide to Using Virtual Reality to Win More Listings

Are you feeling the heat this summer from increased competition? You're not alone. According to a recent survey from Matterport, 86 percent of real estate professionals feel that competition is greater than ever. This can be attributed to a variety of factors, including low inventory, better marketing from competing agents, and seasonal slumps.

If you're looking to beat the competition and thrive during low season, there's no better way to do it than by staying ahead of the technology curve. In fact, 91 percent of real estate professionals agree that technology is a highly effective way to stand out, and over three-quarters of agents say that they use or plan to soon use a trend that's on real estate's cutting edge—dynamic 3D tours and virtual reality.

But knowing about a new technology is not the same as knowing how to leverage that technology for practical gains. That's why in this week's Friday Freebie, we're highlighting a guide that will show you 10 ways you can use 3D virtual tours to win more listings.
