iGUIDE VIRTUAL SHOWING
One of the latest developments in 360-degree technology is the Virtual Showing feature, which is designed to help clients buy and sell homes safely in light of the pandemic. This screen-sharing capability showcases the virtual tour simultaneously between two devices, so to diminish confusion over which feature an agent is highlighting to their clients. Homebuyers don’t have to choose between having the expert guidance of their agent and following safety protocols.
This feature is compatible with voice clients such as Zoom, Facebook, and Google Meet. Learning new platforms can be a hassle for some clients, which is why this feature integrates with so many platforms, so they can select which voice clients they are most comfortable with. While iGUIDE tours are a brilliant way to allow buyers to explore a property at their own pace, sometimes they want guidance from their realtors, which is why this new iGUIDE virtual showing feature is a godsend!

MAPPED NEIGHBOURHOOD INFORMATION
Location, location, location! The Map feature is incredibly useful for finding nearby amenities, including schools, restaurants, libraries, and transit. The surrounding area adds value to the property itself, and iGUIDE makes it easy to understand what’s in the community because it provides two different views. In the example above, you can see a property in the context of the downtown community, with the Satellite lens activated. You can also toggle between Map views and view the location through the Road lens instead.
