Innovative real estate marketing with the SAM viewing robot
Digital and contactless viewing methods have been around for years. In addition to 360-degree tours and drone and aerial shots of the exterior, the SAM viewing robot has also been available for two years. The selfie stick-like 1.70-meter-tall machine was developed by Realbotengineering, a Swiss start-up company. SAM is remotely controlled by the prospective buyer via the internet. Together with the innovative viewing robot, you can tour all the rooms of the property.
What makes SAM special?
The principle behind the service robot for the real estate industry (SAM) is the same as that used for 360-degree tours. These can be carried out online whenever you want. There is no stress associated with making appointments. Nor is there any time-consuming sightseeing. The selection process for potential candidates is improved in terms of quality. Interested parties quickly realize whether the property is right for them. In addition, the digital tour allows buyers to prepare optimally for the sales meeting with the owner or their real estate agent.
The big advantage of SAM: unlike other digital viewing methods, SAM does not require any special software or camera equipment to create a virtual tour. Here, the interested party navigates through the property in real time with the robot. Every corner of the property for sale can be examined in detail. The viewing is more transparent. The prospective buyer sees the current condition of the interior. Defects are not hidden. In addition, real estate agents, owners, and potential buyers can communicate with each other via SAM using video calls. Unlike 360-degree tours, any questions that arise can be answered during the viewing without the need for an on-site appointment. In return, owners or real estate agents can ask specific questions to determine how financially sound and creditworthy a prospective buyer is.
The future of robotics in the real estate industry
Live viewing robots are still a novelty on the market, attracting people who are particularly tech-savvy. In the future, SAM will establish itself on the market and become more affordable for everyone. The control software for the service robot in the real estate industry is already based in part on AI (artificial intelligence) technology. SAM's technology will continue to be developed in the future, with refinements and new features being added. This will make marketing tools for real estate in the digital sector increasingly efficient.
