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.

Homebuilders, property managers, construction companies, architects, builders, developers, and real estate ventures all have a use for these 360 house scans. And fortunately, unlike traditional real estate photography, this medium doesn’t require any expensive lights or complicated camera settings.

This course is geared toward anyone starting their 3D property tour photography journey. We will cover the following.

  • Setting up a new Matterport account

  • Selecting the 360 Camera that's right for you (iPhone, Insta360, Ricoh Theta, Leica)

  • Prepping the location before the scan

  • Capturing a property (single-family home, condos, townhomes)

  • Photographing traditional real estate photos

  • Editing your 3D rendering

  • Learning the Matterport digital interface

  • Marketing your Virtual Tour to industry professionals

  • Utilizing Virtual Reality technology (Oculus) in pitch presentations

  • Exploring other modeling platforms based on longevity (residential real estate vs. commercial, event spaces & rentals)

You will learn how to navigate the dashboard of Matterport, the industry leader in this growing photographic technology. There, you will master the website layout and select your storage plan. Alternate platforms will be discussed in detail as well, based on your own personal use case.

You will select your desired 360 Camera capture device. You will see firsthand the difference in quality and use cases for various market-leading products. Other professional gear to enhance your workflow will be discussed as well.

We will walk through the in-depth process of scanning a real estate property step-by-step through the Matterport app. This includes…

  • How to properly prep your location

  • How to professionally scan a sample property

  • How to troubleshoot your hardware

  • The post-production process on mobile and desktop

You will learn how your photography business can navigate this burgeoning industry, including industry-standard pricing tactics and how to network and grow your business. You will discover pricing strategy based on different use cases including clients who are flipping real estate, running a short term rental (AirBNB and VRBO), or promoting their commercial business.

As an additional resource, we will discover how to use the Oculus Headset to further market your 3D Property tour. We will also discuss other 3D home tour scanning options.
