How is Live Streaming Helping Estate Agents Sell Property?

Live streaming has been one of the greatest advancements of the internet age. It has brought people closer to the action than ever before, giving them a sense of immersion and the feeling that they are physically in a different place.

Some estate agents have realised the power of live streaming already and have begun to implement it. There are loads of benefits to this, such as being able to sell property to people all over the world without having to fly them in for a viewing.

Live Streaming Blew Up With Online Casinos

Live streaming is everywhere now, and it’s all thanks to the online casino industry. This was the first sector to display its potential, and now the category is one of the most popular ways to play at iGaming sites. For example, the casino gambling at Paddy Power includes countless titles in different categories, including roulette, blackjack, game shows, and baccarat.

The sheer variety on offer at these sites highlights how many people are in search of games that use the technology. Live streaming was initially used to bring classic casino tables to players in their homes. Now, it has branched out into spinning wheel games and all sorts of newfangled options.

The reason why live streaming is so popular among casino players is the fact that it makes them feel close to the action. They get a sense that they are playing in a real world casino, sitting opposite from a dealer who speaks directly to them. Due to the popularity of live streaming at online casinos, Facebook brought it to the mainstream in 2017. This helped it get the attention of estate agents.

Wider Reach for Property Sales

In the past, estate agents had to rely on open houses and people living within a reasonable distance from the property. Nobody wants to travel for hours simply to view a house they may not even buy – unless it’s something truly amazing.

Live streaming has rectified that problem, as it enables estate agents to take people on tours of properties without them having to be there. They can organise a viewing time with a prospect from anywhere in the world and allow them to choose how to view the listing. They can interact in real time and ask questions, or even ask the seller to show something in more detail.

This happened recently with a luxury apartment sale in Miami. According to a piece in CNBC, people were able to view the $22.5 million beachfront location via a live stream. This enabled wealthy movers and shakers from all over the world to imagine what it would be like to live in a beachfront spot in the legendary city.

With the opportunity for real time feedback from customers, live streaming is proving to be an incredible new way to sell properties. Indeed, with some exclusive locations, it’s being combined with auctions to give prospects a sense of urgency.

Many of the top estate agents are able to close deals within their live calls.
