360° Real Estate Tours

Matterport scans and pre-recorded tours capture a static snapshot of a property — they show what it looks like at a fixed point in time, navigated alone and without interaction. Avatour is live — the agent walks the property in real time while buyers look around freely in 360°, ask questions, and have a genuine two-way conversation. It's the difference between watching a replay and attending a showing. Avatour also supports recorded tours for on-demand viewing, giving you both options.

Each buyer has their own independent 360° viewpoint — they can look wherever they want without the agent directing them. One buyer might examine the kitchen layout while another looks at the garden view, all in the same live session. This freedom to explore builds far more confidence in a property than a guided walkthrough where the agent controls what you see.

Yes. Up to 20 interactive participants can join a live Avatour session simultaneously, each with their own independent viewpoint. This makes virtual open house events genuinely practical — invite multiple buyers or buyers' agents to a single live showing, interact with them all in real time, and give everyone the experience of being there in person. An additional 10 observers can join in view-only mode, bringing the total to 30.

Yes. Live sessions can be recorded and shared via a link — buyers experience the tour as if watching a live 360° walkthrough, with full freedom to look around at their own pace. Alternatively, Quick Capture lets agents record a tour offline without a live audience, then upload it for on-demand viewing. Both approaches give the same immersive 360° experience, available any time on any device.

Buyers join via a standard web browser on any device — smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop. No app or software installation is required. They receive a simple email invitation with a link and join in one click. For a more immersive experience, they can also join using a VR headset.

Yes — removing geography as a barrier is one of the most direct benefits. Agents can show properties to qualified buyers anywhere in the world without requiring them to travel. This is particularly valuable for luxury, investment, or relocation properties where the buyer pool is international and in-person viewings represent a significant commitment of time and cost for both parties.

Avatour offers a short-term pilot programme. The hardware ships pre-configured and is ready to use on arrival. Buyers need only a browser link to join — no installation required on their side. Most agents are running their first live property tour within days of receiving the kit.
