In the rapidly evolving world of real estate, new technologies are continually reshaping how we buy homes. From Matterports’ virtual 360 tours to Calendys’ on-demand scheduling tool, it’s essential to keep up with technological advances as a new home builder in today’s day and age.
This brings us to our next advancement, UTour: a cutting-edge platform that revolutionizes the traditional home shopping experience by allowing home shoppers to explore properties at their own convenience and on their own terms.
What is UTour?
UTour is a disruptive technology that simplifies and enhances the process of finding your dream home. Unlike conventional methods that require scheduled appointments and guided tours, UTour empowers home shoppers to explore properties at their own convenience, on their own terms. Through its intuitive platform, UTour integrates seamlessly with home builder websites and popular listing platforms like Zillow.com, Realtor.com, and NewHomeSource.com.
How Does a Self-Guided Tour Work?
The self-guided tour experience is simple!
Step 1: Find a Home
Prospective homebuyers can visit the Maronda Homes website or access an integrated listing on popular real estate platforms. By selecting a UTour-enabled home, they can begin their self-guided tour journey. For on-site visits, a quick scan of the QR code on the signage in front of the home will register home buyers and allow them to commence their tour immediately.
Step 2: Register
To ensure a secure and personalized experience, you will create an account and verify your identity using a credit or debit card or a government-issued photo ID. Once you agree to customized visitor terms and conditions, you’ll receive a text and email containing a unique entry code to unlock the requested property’s front door.
Step 3: Enjoy the Tour!
Once armed with your access code, you will be able to enter the home within a designated timeframe of typically 30 minutes to explore the property. During the tour, automated features such as AI assistants and voice-activated devices may be available to provide additional information and answer any questions you may have.
What are the Benefits of a Self-Guided Tour?
Self-guided tours facilitated by UTour offer several advantages for home shoppers:
Flexibility and Convenience
Self-guided tours allow you to explore homes on your own schedule, eliminating the need for rigid appointment arrangements. This flexibility empowers potential homeowners to visit multiple properties daily, increasing options and saving valuable time.
Enhanced Privacy
Some individuals prefer to explore homes privately, without the presence of a salesperson or guide. Self-guided tours offer the freedom to absorb the ambiance of the property at one’s own pace, fostering a deeper connection and enabling more authentic decision-making.
Increased Engagement
Through AI assistants and voice-activated devices, self-guided tour participants can interact with cutting-edge technologies to gain instant information about the home and community. This engagement adds a layer of interactivity and empowers buyers to make more informed decisions.
Data-Driven Insights
UTour’s seamless integration with Maronda Homes’ CRM system ensures that valuable visitor data, including contact information, tour duration, and AI technology engagement, is automatically captured. These insights can assist builders in tailoring their offerings and following up with personalized recommendations.
Efficiency and Cost Savings
By streamlining the home shopping process, self-guided tours reduce the need for extensive sales appointments and on-site staff. This increased efficiency translates into cost savings for builders, which can be passed on to homebuyers, ultimately providing greater value for their investment.
UTour, the game-changing self-guided tour platform, has revolutionized how homebuyers explore properties. Offering convenience, flexibility, enhanced privacy, and data-driven insights, self-guided tours empower individuals to take control of their home shopping experience.
As we embrace this innovative technology, we pave the way for a more efficient and customer-centric home-buying journey. With UTour, the future of home shopping has arrived!
