Livestream is here to stay
How the tremendous success of bringing in Livestream in lockdown 1 has carried over into our new ‘everyday life’ at Oakwood Homes, and what fantastic stats-driven benefits we’ve seen it have for our sellers, buyers, tenants, and landlords.
Back in the first lockdown, we anticipated that we would have to adapt fast in order to protect our customers, keep home sales moving, and bring the world online, becoming the FIRST agent in our local area to start using Livestream from GAVL.
Since then, we’ve seen it become such a massive part of how we help market properties, achieving top sales prices with 50% less viewings, and having an incredible 4000 people view the post-live property video viewings on our YouTube channel every week.
As the world begins to open up again cautiously, it’s clear we’ll have to learn to live with this virus, rather than wait for a day when it’s eradicated completely, so when we added this thought to the other stats and benefits behind our established property technology, it makes sense that LIVESTREAM is here to stay at Oakwood Homes.
If you’re wondering how LIVESTREAM works, or want to try it for yourself, you can see an explainer video and blog HERE. In just a few easy steps, buyers and tenants can safely and easily watch live streamed videos of property tours, with the ability to ask the agent questions and request more information on certain areas of the home – just like an in-person viewing but achieved VIRTUALLY.
So, why are we keeping it part of our property marketing into the future?
1. As mentioned above, our stats prove we can achieve top sales prices but with 50% less physical viewings through the home (that’s 50% less cleaning, staging, getting the dog out of the house, and disruption to your life, as well as more safety for everyone involved!)
2. We now reach 4000 viewers a WEEK with the property videos on our YouTube channel, making it a fantastic reach for marketing your home to buyers or tenants.
3. It saves time for everyone involved – buyers or tenants who actually come to see the property are far more proceedable because as well as being vetted by us, they’ve been able to properly see over video if it’s the right home for them.
4. It allows long distance and overseas buyers/tenants more scope to view your property, expanding the reach possible to get the perfect match.
5. It drives excitement, interest and engagement before the property even hits the portals, adding a new dimension to your property marketing.
On one of our recent LIVESTREAM videos, we achieved 783 YouTube views on a property in Margate – Imagine trying to arrange 783 physical viewings at your door!
If you want results and to stay safe, but don’t want to have to spotlessly clean your home/vacate it for viewing after viewing after viewing, Livestream is right for you. We’re proud to have done everything we can to keep our customers safe, secure, and thriving over the past year and a half, with tried and tested technology to boost your sale/let.
