Advantages to using MapsAlive for Real Estate
It's easy and inexpensive to create MapsAlive tours for any kind of real estate - homes, condos, and vacation rentals. Here are some of the benefits for real estate. You can also learn about general benefits or see more real estate samples.
1. Give viewers a real sense of place
Taking a MapsAlive tour is the next best thing to being there. Combine floor plans and site plans with photos and text and give viewers a sense of place and spatial perspective. They see how rooms flow from one to the other and how a house is situated on its grounds.
2. Make your property stand out
A MapsAlive tour is in a class by itself. It establishes a new standard that will set your listings apart from ordinary listings made up of only photos and slide shows.
3. Better than 360º virtual tours
Buyers can peruse a property in a more natural way with a MapsAlive tour than with a conventional 360º virtual tour. They don’t have to wait for virtual tours to load and they don’t have to view a room as if they were standing in the middle of it and spinning around.
4. Control what buyers see
You have complete control over the property features you want to highlight in your tour and the ones you want to downplay. Show off special ammenities, built-in cabinets, appliances and other details in addition to rooms, landscapes and neighborhood features.

Attract buyers and sellers
MapsAlive gives you a marketing advantage over your competitors by improving the effectiveness of your website. Your property stands out, attracting more sellers and buyers.
Keep buyers on your site
You can embed tours for all of your listings into your company’s existing website. Embedded tours keep buyers on your site to get a full, rich experience of all of your listings.
Save money on web development
Anyone in your office — from administrative assistant to high school intern — can create a MapsAlive tour. The money you save on web design and development can be spent on professional photography and content instead.

Your own website
A MapsAlive tour is a mini website with its own URL. You can send the URL to interested parties making it convenient for them to view your property.
Save money on advertising
You can publish your tour’s URL in a classified ad and make that ad really work for you. A picture
is worth a thousand words and an interactive tour of your home is worth many more.
Get serious inquiries
Buyers will have all the information they need about your property. Well informed buyers produce serious inquiries.
Landlords and Property Managers
Increase occupancy rates
The quality of a MapsAlive tour is significantly better than the usual snapshots and slideshows so occupancy rates increase.
Make classified ads work for you
Publish your tour URL in a classified ad and really make the ad work for you. The pictures and descriptions in the tour will “show” the rental in a way that a classified ad never could. Create a tour for a rental only once and use it each time the property comes up for rent.
Tours are always available on the web
MapsAlive is perfect for vacation rentals because the tour is always available on-line for vacationers to see. The tour’s URL can be circulated among friends who recommend the rental or want to share it. Vacations are cherished and renters want to make sure they’ve made the right choice.
