3D Virtual Tours in Las Vegas

Matterport tours are expensive when you order them from retail providers. You’ve looked at pricing for 3D services and probably wonder how you are going to afford that on EVERY listing. You have a budget and Matterport just wasn’t in it for this year. Things have changed and Rick understands that. Over the course of his career as a real estate photographer and marketer he’s worked close with individual real estate offices and teams. He knows how to manage an entire brokerage’s digital assets and has come up with a solution to put a Matterport tour on every real estate listing in Las Vegas moving forward.

How can he do this?

Simple. You and Rick share the costs. You provide hosting, which is through Matterport, and costs $70 a month for up to 25 hosted tours (subject to change at Matterport’s discretion). You make Rick a collaborator to your account and he uses his Pro2 camera to scan your listing. After payment is received he uploads the unprocessed tour to your account, sets the tour up and sends the links to you. You only have to copy and paste the links to your MLS listing, website, and social media.

Is there a catch?

Yes, there’s a catch, but we think you’ll be ok with it. A regular real estate photography package MUST be purchased for every Matterport tour created. Check out RCRdigital’s pricing and you’ll see how reasonable the cost is. A 2,000 sqft home would cost $170 for photos AND 3D tour. Plus, the $70 monthly Matterport fee. You’re roughly paying $240 for photos, 3D tour, and hosting for the 1^st month. That’s still less than what most providers charge for a standalone 3D tour.

Can I save additional money?

Of course, you can! You don’t have to have absorb the cost of the Matterport account all by yourself. You can ask your broker to pay for it. If you’re part of a team, you could share the costs amongst the team members. A team of 3 agents would only pay approximately $23 per month. Or, maybe you could partner with another agent and split the cost. You don’t even have to work through the same brokerage. It doesn’t matter!  That 2,000 sqft house now would cost you approximately $170-$205 for photos and 3D tour!

Free Account Management

RCRdigital can manage your tours for you. Rick can edit tours, handle technical support issues, and order floor plans for you. All digital assets will be forwarded to Rick via email from Matterport. He can then send the links onto you or your agents. If a floor plan is ordered, Rick will get notification when the floor plan is ready. He can then download the floor plan, replace the Matterport logo with yours, and format the plan to post on MLS and social media. If you grant Rick the role of Administrator (only the first level), he will be able to delete and archive tours as well. If you are approaching your 25 tour limit Rick can delete tours from homes that have been recorded. Or he can archive them. Archiving tours would turn them off, built keep them hosted on Matterport to be activated in the future. You can archive as many tours as you want, built only have 25 activated. He can work with your office staff to verify which tours have recorded. This can save you surprise fees from Matterport for going over your hosting limit. Rick can do all this for you and your team for FREE! For more info on Matterport account collaborators please click here.
