Exclusive: London virtual tours firm bags global estate agency deal
EyeSpy360's tech is to be used by RE/MAX's army of 40,000 estate agents as physical viewings continue to be problematical in many countries including the UK.
A UK proptech company has signed a deal to supply a virtual viewings service to a property firm with 40,000 estate agents and 2,750 offices across 35 countries.
North London firm EyeSpy360’s virtual viewings platform is being rolled out across the global RE/MAX Integra network as its agents rush to offer vendors, landlords, tenants and property buyers a way around viewings and open house restrictions present in most countries around the world.
The US-based global estate agency franchise is rebranding the UK firm’s tech as RE/MAX 360 Tours, which will be available online, on social media and with or without analytics.
RE/MAX agents will enable them to upload 360 degree photos from their smartphones or cameras to create professional quality virtual tours, 3D models and floor plans with measurements and still pictures.
As we have reported before, EyeSpy360’s tech is unusual because it enables agents to conduct digitally accompanied walk-through tours with up to eight people.
“As the world moves through this pandemic and finds new ways to do business, we know there’s no going back,” says Christopher Alexander from RE/MAX Integra.
“There is an unprecedented paradigm shift afoot; instantly changing our behaviours both at work and at home, augmented by the adoption of technologies across many areas of our lives,” says Andrew Nicholls, CEO of EyeSpy360 (left).
“RE/MAX’s reaction, agility, and determination to equip their agents with the latest and most relevant tech have been awe-inspiring.
We look forward to working closely with RE/MAX as a key partner in the future by supporting their technological capabilities and offering.”
