Video, 360 and virtual tours

Real estate virtual tour

Tour companies charge per listing and book a week out. A 360 camera and the app you already use will do the same job this afternoon.

Who it is for
Agents and owners marketing a property to buyers.
Turnaround
Captured and published the same day, with no third party booked.
What it replaces
A per-listing tour vendor, and most first viewings.

Why buyers expect one now

For anyone selling property, the virtual tour has quietly moved from a differentiator to an expectation. It weeds out browsers who were never serious, it lets you handle demand without a showing agent for every enquiry, and it removes the friction of coordinating access to an occupied home for people who will decide against it in ninety seconds.

Since the start of the decade it has largely taken the place of the initial walkthrough. A tour does not close a sale, but it does mean that the people who turn up in person have already decided the layout works for them.

Produced from your own capture

With zInspector you take 360 photos yourself while walking the property and reuse them to build the tour. Quick, affordable, and it adds an interactive element to an otherwise static listing without adding a vendor to the process.

  1. 01Walk the property onceTripod in the centre of each room, step out of frame, trigger the capture from the app, move on.
  2. 02Assemble the tourBuild the walkable tour from the captured rooms inside zInspector, no editing suite required.
  3. 03Publish alongside the listingDrop the tour into the advert so buyers can explore before they enquire.
  4. 04Reuse the same captureThe images remain available as condition documentation, which matters if the property is tenanted.

The economics are the point

A tour vendor makes sense for a flagship listing. It rarely makes sense for the twelfth unit this month. Doing the capture yourself changes which listings can justify a tour at all, which in practice means all of them.

If your listings are rentals rather than sales, the rental listing tour covers the same workflow aimed at renters.

Common questions

What equipment do I need?

A compatible 360 camera, a tripod and the zInspector app. The support site lists supported camera models; setup is a one-time job of about five minutes.

Will it look like a professional tour?

It will look like a clean 360 walkthrough, which is what most buyers want. It is not a cinematic production, and for the overwhelming majority of listings that is the right trade.

Can I use the tour images for anything else?

Yes. Because they were captured during an inspection, they stay attached to the property record and remain usable as dated condition evidence.
