Frequently Asked Questions for Home Sellers

Why should I have a virtual tour taken of my home?
Life is busy, it’s busy for you, its busy for potential buyers and its busy for your agent. The biggest benefit of having a virtual tour is those potential buyers coming into your home have already seen the major rooms inside your home via a virtual tour and like what they saw.

Who pays for the virtual tour?
Just as any other form of advertising, your agent does.

What days and times do you shoot virtual tours?
We know that you don’t work just Monday to Friday and neither do we! We can be available to shoot your tour 7 days a week. Virtual tours do need to be shot in the daylight.

How long does it take to shoot a virtual tour?
It takes approximately 30 – 40 minutes, add extra time if you want additional rooms and still photos.

Can I be home when the virtual tour is shot?
Sure you can! We may ask you to move from room to room, or hold the family pet (if you have one). It’s between you and your agent to decide who will be at your home when our photographer is there.

What if I want a virtual tour shot outside?
No problem! We love showing off the outdoors, as long as its not raining.

Once the virtual tour is shot, then what?
Your agent will be sent the link for the virtual tour who will then forward it to all his or her potential buyers as well as industry colleagues. Your tour will appear on at least 3 websites: TouraHome.ca, MLS.ca and Homesacrosscanada.com.

To view the virtual tour does the user need anything special on their computer?
No, none at all. No downloads or plug-ins are required as the viewer code in java which is viewable to all.
