boxApp In Real Estate

Create interactive 360º tours in just minutes.

With boxApp you can create a 360º tour of any property, for free. You can also insert interactive elements such as images and videos, or even a link to your website. Once you are happy with your tour boxApp lets you share it on social media or embed it in your own site with just a few clicks.

Virtual Reality is disrupting Real Estate. Are you taking advantage of it?

Real Estate agents can benefit greatly from making Virtual Reality part of their repertoire of marketing tools. VR can open up markets and new clients by allowing anyone in the world to tour your listings. But that’s not all it can do.

VR can do so much more than just provide an immersive experience. It should really be used as a marketing tool — There should be a goal in mind with a call to action and you want users to interact with it. Not just visit a property and look around but submit an application, or capture the user’s info.

This is why boxApp is such a powerful platform. boxApp allows you to insert things like images, videos, or call to action buttons into 360º tours and place them anywhere you’d like. You can also add navigation buttons to allow users to move inside your tours. All this and more, absolutely free!

It’s like having a 24 hour open house, but this open house is available to anyone with access to the internet.

What’s the best way for Real Estate agents to use boxApp?

As a REALTOR®, we understand that you are your brand and that you want to have control over your listings. To support your objectives, we created Organizations. 

By creating your tours through your Organization, you have access to features that individual accounts do not, including:

• Using your logo as a watermark
• Using your logo to cover the camera’s tripod legs.
• Setting tours to draft, private, or public status.

To create an Organization in boxApp, all you need to do is register. Once you’ve created your free account, login and go to your profile page to create a new Organization.

You can learn more about Organizations in boxApp and all the features they offer in our Understanding boxApp Organizations page.

How should I take 360° photos of a space?

Taking a 360º picture of a space is all about placing the camera in the center of that space. For example, in the image above we show the tripod standing as close to the center of the room as possible. The camera’s height is also set to about half way from the floor to the ceiling.

How do I upload 360° photos of my listings to boxApp?

Once you have the 360º photos of your listing saved on your computer or phone, login to the app and click on the plus sign at the bottom-right of the screen to begin uploading your 360º photos or videos.

Elevate your listing with an interactive Virtual Reality tour

Your virtual tour doesn’t have to end simply with beautiful 360º photos. 

You have the ability to add Tooltips. This is our name for an information button. You can use them to display an image, video, text, or a call to action button. 

Here are a few examples of how you might use Tooltips in your Virtual Reality tour.

• The home has a smart kitchen. You want to provide details about the appliances and the value they’d bring to the buyer.
• The windows in the home provide definitive cost savings with heating and cooling. This is a big selling feature, so you want to ensure the potential buyer is aware of this feature.
• The lighting and fixtures in the home are from a luxury designer that has a great deal of brand recognition. This is definitely a selling point you’d want to bring attention to.
• You want to capture potential buyers’ information. Using Tooltips you can link users to a Salesforce lead capturing form or any other CRM.

Share and promote your Virtual Reality tours

The real power of a virtual tour is sharing it with potential buyers! So, we wanted to ensure you had powerful options that could be done with a simple click of a button. 

To share a virtual tour, simply copy and paste the virtual tour’s URL, or click to share on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and more.

If you want to embed your tour on your website, we provide an embed code. All you have to do is copy and paste it onto your website!

Benefits of Using boxApp To Showcase Your Listings in 3D

It’s Free 

There are no hidden fees or costs to use boxApp. That includes no maximum on the number of tours you create or hosting fees.

In the future, Organizations will be charged a fee based on number of users. The only time you’ll incur a charge is if you invite other members of your team into your Organization. And, this is a charge you will have to approve, not one that will suddenly appear on your bill without you confirming.

It’s Easy and it Works for you

We created boxApp with real estate agents in mind. We know you don’t have time (nor should you have to make time) to understand technology in detail. 

You understand that you have a limited amount of time in your day, and we want you to be able to focus on relationship building, selling and listing homes.

In turn, there are no learning curves to worry about when using boxApp, which creates more time in your day to do things that truly make a positive impact on your clients and the growth of your business.

With the growth of relocation clients and investors from other parts of the world, you’ll have the ability to showcase homes virtually by creating an immersive experience that makes the viewer feel like they’re right there in the home.

A lot of buyers complained about seeing photos of bathrooms and bedrooms online that did not represent those spaces accurately. Most of them stated that the home’s photos made certain spaces seemed a lot larger than what they truly were in real life. 

With 3D virtual tours, you have a huge advantage here. When potential buyers see a bathroom in 360°, they get a very accurate representation of the space in terms of size and lighting. In turn, your target market will not feel deceived when they see the property in real life, increasing the propensity of converting a lead into a sale.

Again, we understand your time is extremely valuable, and that you’d rather spend time with serious buyers that those who are simply exploring what’s out there.

Showing my listings in 3D using boxApp has allowed me to focus all my efforts on those buyers who are truly serious and ready to pull the trigger.
