Redfin Rolling out Matterport 3D Technology to Its Agent-Listed Homes across the Country
SEATTLE --(Business Wire)--
Redfin,
the customer-first real estate brokerage, today announced Redfin 3D
Walkthrough™, a new feature that lets homebuyers tour Redfin-listed
homes for sale online by viewing a high-resolution view from any angle
inside the home. This immersive experience, powered by 3D technology
from Matterport, helps homebuyers better decide which homes to tour in
person and is available on www.redfin.com
today for Redfin-listed homes in Seattle,
including this one.
This feature will be expanded to other Redfin agent listings across the
country in the coming months.
"Whatever you think a virtual tour experience might be like - think
again," said Sasha Aickin, chief technology officer at Redfin. "Using
Matterport's technology, Redfin 3D Walkthrough gives homebuyers an
accurate sense of what it's really like to walk through a home, with an
interactive experience that shows off the home from every conceivable
angle. This is just another example of how Redfin agents and technology
work together to help you find the right home."
Powered by the Matterport 3D Media Platform and its recently introduced
3D Showcase, Redfin 3D Walkthrough gives a 360-degree perspective of
every room inside a home for sale, including a unique "dollhouse" view
and a top-down floor plan layout. This feature allows homebuyers to
navigate Redfin-listed homes for sale at their own pace, and helps home
sellers who list with a Redfin agent get even more attention for their
home.
"We've been collaborating with Redfin for the past year to take the
Matterport computer vision and 3D computational photography technology
and make it work best for Redfin's listing agents," said Bill Brown,
Matterport CEO. "The experience of viewing an immersive and realistic
home tour online provides yet another dimension to Redfin's cutting-edge
real estate experience, and we'll continue to evolve the experience
alongside Redfin in the future."
Redfin 3D Walkthrough makes home listings stand out from the crowd,
adding another benefit to sellers who list with Redfin. Redfin-listed
homes on Redfin.com already get twice the views of non-Redfin listings
via promotion and customized email marketing campaigns. On average,
Redfin-listed homes sell
three days faster and for $2,424 more than comparable homes.
Potential home sellers can work with a Redfin agent to get the Redfin 3D
Walkthrough feature for their home. Visit www.redfin.com/agents
