Agents to use video content to help make house hunting fully digital

  • Property Finder is now offering additional digital options to continue facilitating the house hunting journey, with new virtual house tours available both online and on their social media accounts

  • 360 Virtual Tours, floor plans, virtual tours and social media tours help make house hunting a digital reality

In an effort to assist those seeking properties in the current coronavirus lockdown, Property Finder - the region’s leading property portal - has launched a raft of new innovative online initiatives, to allow prospective buyers to view properties as if they were there in person through online viewings. It also gives relief to its 7,000 plus agents who cannot leave their homes to perform viewings but can now facilitate these in a safe and legal environment.

Property Finder continuously strives to empower its users with technology, but the rapid roll-out of virtual viewing is a swift response to the new anti-coronavirus guidelines.

Existing and increasingly popular features such as 360-degree virtual tours and floor plans are being polished and given more prominence on the site, while the company has developed new innovative ways to keep real estate activity live during these turbulent times - such as the ability to view virtual tours from agents via the website.

In addition, Property Finder’s social media channels will be offering Live Virtual Open House sessions, bringing the chance to tour a chosen property from the leading real estate site’s portfolio of top clients, from the comfort and safety of their own home.

Ari Kesisoglu, Property Finder’s President, said: “Despite the very real need for social distancing, Property Finder is still able to deliver on its mission of connecting property seekers to professional real estate agents.

“We are trying to do our bit by working closely with top brokers to support the regional real estate business and create innovative solutions to help navigate through this tough time.

“Property Finder has always been at the vanguard of technology in the UAE and the wider region’s real estate sector. While the coronavirus has changed the way we all live, we know that people still need to find new properties, and we have worked around the clock to help enable the best possible virtual experience.”
