Guided Virtual Tours
ViTourly is an innovative service that combines 3D visuals with customized narrations. Our goal is to provide a personal touch and build human connection.
What are Virtual Tours?
Virtual Tours are a way of bringing your 3D home tours to the next level. ViTourly provides guided, narrated, and customized tours of the home via a video overlay on the 3D model.
​
Not only do hosts speak about the home’s features, they appear on-screen in order to add a personal touch for your viewers. In a time when everything is becoming increasingly web-based, it is important to maintain a human connection and to offer your client’s unique and engaging services.
By integrating Virtual Tours on your website, you’ll be offering your potential clients a one-of-a-kind experience that cannot be found on most real estate sites. You’ll be ahead of the curve and diversifying their online home-searching experience.
What is the Process?
Virtual Tour Hosts record themselves in a circle at the bottom left-hand corner of the screen as they click through the home and explain the features. By having a friendly face appear on screen instead of just a random voice talking over the video, you create a personal connection and capture attention from the audience.
Virtual Tours can then be integrated on your site via an embedded video hosted directly on your website, an embedded YouTube player, or as a link to a host site of your choice. It is ultimately up to your site engineer and website’s capabilities, but the easier to find, the faster you generate interest from your potential clients.
What are the Results?
Virtual Tours save time by letting the client immerse themselves in viewing potential homes from the comfort of their current residence. They also save your real estate agents time from having to show homes in-person to buyers who may not know what they are looking for yet. The best part is, you don’t have to sacrifice that human connection - all Virtual Tours have a host who appears on-screen to guide the tour.
Additionally, Virtual Tours drive traffic to your website and keep clients on your webpage longer. Offering Virtual Tours engages your audience and keeps their attention, making them more inclined to stay on the listing page longer and to click on other homes out of curiosity.
By providing Virtual Tours, potential clients can take their time to look at as many homes beforehand as they want, thus helping them zone
in on their top choices of what they are ready to see in person. It’s a
win-win for your clients and for your agents.

I already have 3D tours, why do I need Virtual Tours?3D tours are an excellent first step for any real estate website to have on their website, but they don’t give much information. While all the home’s details may be in the listing description, people often don’t take the time to read anymore, so being able to hear a Virtual Tour Host explain the home’s features while pointing them out along the way is a great way to engage your audience and keep their attention. Virtual Tours maintain the interest of potential buyers and entice them to remain on the page longer.
-
How do Virtual Tours save time?Having Virtual Tours saves realtors from having to spend time going in person to show a home or doing a live video chat walkthrough. Agents don’t need to drive all the way there for a client who may not even show up, and they can dedicate that time to other tasks. Likewise, potential buyers can save time from reading through a listing and get their information from the Virtual Tour instead.

Virtual Tours vs. Live Video Chat WalkthroughWhen agents do a live video chat walkthrough, there is always the risk of poor connection, of your client cancelling the meeting last minute, or of your potential buyer losing interest in the meantime and finding something else. With Virtual Tours, they can instantly access a tour of the home. Additionally, Virtual Tours are: o more professional than shakily filmed walkthroughs of homes o information is presented succinctly and clearly o and they maintain the viewers’ attention span more.

What do Virtual Tours cover?Not only do Virtual Tour hosts point out all the currently existing features of the home (i.e. flooring, countertop material, appliances), but they also paint a picture of what your home could look like by describing potential furniture set-ups for each room. Hosts are like virtual interior designers pointing out all the opportunities that exist within the space.

What makes Virtual Tours unique?Virtual Tours reintroduce the human aspect in an increasingly impersonal and web-based world. As more and more features are strictly online, clients begin to lose sight of the human faces behind the company. With Virtual Tours, we seek to provide a friendly face to create that personal touch and rebuild that human connection. Seeing our hosts speak passionately about each home’s unique features will ignite enthusiasm in the potential buyer and make that home remain in their memory longer.

Why have human hosts when AI can do everything now?AI is a wonderful tool that can make a lot of processes streamlined and easier to manage. What it can’t do, however, is build genuine human-to-human connections. As much as technology may be taking over our world, it can never replace a human touch. The key is to find the balance between AI-assisted tasks and real human results. By the way, we pride ourselves that not a single word on this website was written by an AI text generator!
