How you market your property is one of the most important parts of selling your home. Poor marketing could result in less interest in your property and therefore fewer potential buyers.

Why use 360° Virtual Tours?

Our virtual tours are done using Matterport, providing the best, high quality 3D tours of your home. Matterport is a three-dimensional camera system that creates realistic, fully immersive virtual experiences. Viewers can manually explore the every corner of your property from a variety of viewpoints on screen and get a feel for the space. The  platform allows us to promote your property to the market in a personal and interactive way, allowing potential buyers to view your property in their own time, 24hrs a day from their phone, tablet, laptop or desktop.

“Homes listed with 3D virtual tours spend up to 31% less time on the market!” (Matterport).
“Real estate professionals can achieve up to 9% higher sales prices when listing with a 3D virtual tour” (Matterport).

Our use of 3D virtual tours has proven to sell our properties quicker and for a higher price, with potential buyers being able to offer within hours of a property being listed, from the comfort of their own homes. In addition, it also means buyers who do book to view your property are likely to be more serious about taking the next step having already taken a peek inside!

As well as the everyday benefits of Virtual Tours, the online viewing experience has been a lifeline for most during the difficult 2020/2021 year. With many buyers having to shield or unexpectedly isolate, HOP have enabled buyers to view the property virtually, meaning they haven’t missed out on their dream home. It also helped reach out to buyers who may be relocating and cannot make your viewing due to travel limitations, thus exposing your property to thousands more people up and down the UK and abroad.

Premium and Featured Listings on Rightmove

Rightmove is the most popular property portal in the UK, receiving c125 million views per month. It is likely that the first time your buyer will see your property is on Rightmove, therefore its essential you take advantage of the exposure the portal provides!

At HOP we offer Premium and Featured listings on Rightmove to all our vendors.
What is a Premium listing?

Premium listings are the properties that are highlighted in green when scrolling through Rightmove properties. The eye-catching enhancements along with showing 5 images instead of the standard 1 image, increase your click through rate by over 30%, subsequently resulting in more enquiries and in turn improving your chances of a quicker sale.

“35% more property brochures are viewed when Premium Listed” (Rightmove)
What is a Featured listing?

Featured listings provide the ultimate exposure on Rightmove. They are guaranteed to appear at the top of the search result when buyer’s criteria match your property as well as at the top of generic searches too! This means that no matter whether Rightmove has listed 20 other properties in that area on that day, your property remains at the top of the search results. They also display 3 much larger images which makes the property stand out against other standard listings.

According to Rightmove, “Featured Listings generate twice as many detailed views”.

Our fresh approach and our bespoke marketing packages ensure your property receives the exposure it needs to sell faster and for more money!
