25 January 2010 - Sheffield Letting Agent Belvoir! Sheffield Sets New Industry Standard with Virtual Property Tours
Sheffield’s leading letting agency, Belvoir! Sheffield unveils an innovative new addition to its web site today and looks certain to set a new industry standard. After two months in development, the Paradise Square firm is now offering virtual tours of properties to let via its web site
www.belvoirlettings.com/sheffield.
Used to some extent in the USA by the biggest and most exclusive realtors, very few UK firms have been able to harness the power of the virtual property tour but all that is set to change as Belvoir! Sheffield rolls out the video tour across every
Sheffield rental property in its portfolio.
The virtual tours are a handy tool for those looking to find a new home as dozens of houses, flats and
student accommodation in the Sheffield area can be viewed in impressive detail without ever having to leave the computer. The time-saving solution allows tenants to draw up a shortlist of properties they would like to visit to get a second impression.
Rick Flay, managing director of Belvoir! Sheffield said, “We already include multiple photographs of all properties we list but the virtual tours allow us to take the amount of detail to a whole new level. We’re extremely excited and proud to have unveiled this addition to our web site and can’t wait to hear tenant feedback. We’re confident our virtual tours will be well received by our landlords as well as they are a fantastic way of making a property stand out.
We believe we are the only UK real estate agent offering virtual property tours as standard.” Landlords registering their
property to rent in Sheffield with the specialist letting agent will be able to request a virtual tour at no additional cost. This facility is unique to Belvoir! Sheffield and, once shot will be edited by the technical team and added to the property listing for immediate viewing. The virtual tour is just one of Belvoir! Sheffield’s value added services for landlords.
Launched today, a number of Belvoir! Sheffield’s online listings already feature the virtual property tour icon with the remainder to be added over the next few weeks. No special programme is needed to view the show, making it widely accessible for online browsers regardless of their internet skills or technological know-how. Users simply click to view the property as normal and then select the virtual tour icon to load the presentation.
