The Importance of Visual Content in Real Estate

In this blog post, we will be talking about the importance of having visual content in real estate as it helps buyers make a purchase decision faster and more accurately.

The buyers are smart, and with technology, in their hands, it becomes all the more complex to catch their attention in the myriad of information that they are surrounded with. That’s why it is important for a real estate agent to appeal to the visual senses of a buyer.

It’s no brainer to know that virtual content appeals the most of our senses. Stunning visual content is the key to selling more in the real estate market. A buyer may not always be in a position to keep visit the property, and not to ignore that 90% of buyers start looking online where you have only a few moments to catch a buyer’s attention. A handy 360° virtual tour at that point of time can immediately help them relate to the property they might be interested in.

As a real estate agent, it is your responsibility to provide content that is worth remembering.

When people hear information, they’re likely to remember only 10% of that information three days later. However, if a relevant image is paired with that same information, people retained 65% of the information three days later.
