Inside view
When you’re exploring the 3D space with this view, you can click around like you would on Google Maps to digitally walk through the home. This view lets you experience what it would be like to walk from room to room, seeing every detail. And, if you don’t feel like moving yourself through the home, you can press play for a video walkthrough of the listing.
Dollhouse view
When selecting dollhouse view, you’ll be able to see a zoomed-out perspective of the home. You can rotate the 3D model around to view it from any perspective.
Floor plan view
To really understand the layout of the home, you can use the floor plan view. This option will bring you to a birds-eye view of the home, showing you how each floor is laid out.
Measurement mode
As you’re virtually exploring the home, you can use measurement mode to measure any aspect of the room, whether it’s the length of a wall, height of a kitchen island, size of a door, or anything else you might need a measurement of.
3D walkthroughs make homebuying and selling easier and faster
You can virtually tour an entire home, checking out the views from the balcony to the storage space in each closet, all from the comfort and convenience of your couch. You can even measure the size of the patio to start browsing for outdoor furniture. With this accurate and interactive experience, you can easily and quickly prioritize the homes you’re actually interested in touring with your Redfin agent. If you see something that’s a deal-breaker, you can move along to the next listing until you’ve narrowed down your top choices.
Oftentimes you’ll be touring a handful of homes, so it’s easy to forget which one had the reading nook you loved or the mudroom that caught your eye. Luckily, with 3D tours, you can come back and digitally walk through the listing as much as you’d like.
For Redfin listing clients, 3D walkthroughs give potential buyers 24/7 access to your home. This feature gets more eyes on your home to help it sell quicker. And, better yet, you don’t have to rearrange your schedule as often to let potential buyers tour your home.
When should you use 3D walkthrough home tours?
As you begin your home search, the 3D tour is a useful tool to help you narrow down your choices. After virtually exploring a home, you can decide if you want to keep searching, or if you love what you see and are ready to schedule a live video-chat tour with a Redfin agent.
The 3D walkthrough is especially great at the beginning of the homebuying process, but it’s useful throughout your entire journey. The beauty of these 3D walkthroughs is you can come back to see the house whenever you want, as many times as you want.
What to do after the 3D walkthrough
So you’ve virtually toured several homes and found one or two, or maybe a handful, that you could see yourself calling home. The next thing to do after the 3D walkthrough is to schedule a live video-chat tour with your Redfin agent. Even though you’ve toured the home virtually yourself, it’s likely you still have questions that your agent can help answer.
