RICOH THETA 360-degree camera with a proven track record recommended for taking panorama photos of real estate properties.
Even a photography beginner can easily take photos of real estate properties in one shot.
Since accurate information with a large amount of information can be conveyed to customers, a better response can be gained and the efficiency of property tours can be improved.
The RICOH THETA equalizes the variations in photo quality that varied depending on the photographer and enriches it to help you gain a better response and improve your operational efficiency.
Top four problems with taking real estate photos
①Response does not grow on real estate portal sites
We find it hard to differentiate ourselves from other real estate companies and convey the advantages of our properties to customers.
②We cannot fully convey the advantages of our properties to customers with photos alone
If we do not provide property tours in person, we cannot convey the advantages of our properties to customers. So we need to provide many property tours to close contracts.
Customers also waste a lot of time and effort.
③Equalize the skills of taking photos and ensure time for taking photos
The photo quality varies depending on the level of the photographer. We usually take photos in-house but we cannot waste much time on it especially during the high season. We have to spend a lot of money if we commission a professional photographer.
④Improve our site and publish information actively
We need to gain a better response on our site by publishing a wealth of property information.
The RICOH THETA is recommended to take property photos
360-degree photos allow you to differentiate your property information from your competitors
You can differentiate yourself from your competitors on real estate portal sites, and gain a better response with an overwhelming amount of information.
Win contracts efficiently while spending less time and effort on property tours in person
Reduce the number of property tours that you think would not be fruitful by showing to your prospective customers 360-degree photos with a large amount of information before actually giving property tours in person. You can close contracts efficiently with a small number of property tours in person. Customers who are busy or must come from far away will also be satisfied with the solution.
Even beginners can take high quality property photos
Unlike with a single-lens reflex camera, the settings needed to take property photos are the bare minimum so even beginners can take high quality photos. Since you only need to take a small number of photos, you can solve the challenges of acquiring the skills to take photos and increasing the work efficiency of taking photos. The THETA allows you to easily take photos of entire spaces such as bathrooms, toilets, and storage that are difficult to take photos of.
