The year 2020 flipped the world upside down and the real estate industry was no exception. In record numbers, real estate agents & architectural professionals turned to non-traditional methods of showing properties to potential buyers. As contactless 3D Virtual Tours gained in popularity; builders, agents, and other industry professionals quickly realized that scanning properties with 360 Cameras through Matterport technology was more than just a quick fix to selling homes during the pandemic. It was a technological innovation that would permanently disrupt the entire industry of real estate photography.
And luckily for photographers, these interactive walkthroughs are incredibly lucrative. Whether you plan on making house scanning your side hustle or full-time gig, real estate professionals will pay over $70 per hour of work.
