Tucson-area homebuyers are purchasing properties without physically stepping foot in them using a new technology that some are calling a game-changer in the real estate market.
RE/Max Excalibur real estate agency in Tucson partners with Matterport, an immersive media technology company, to create three-dimensional and virtual-reality experiences, allowing buyers to navigate real properties on their mobile devices or desktops as if they were walking through them in person.
Lisa Larkin, managing partner and agent with RE/Max Excalibur, says 3-D home tours benefit all parties involved and may accelerate the homebuying process, creating a sense of urgency for buyers to place offers.
