360 Virtual Tour / Property Photographer Kent

 

Here is Karen’s story from the Kent Coast area…

I live in Kent so close in proximity to London, Essex and the Kent Coast where you will find me working for Viewber. I was attracted to working for Viewber as I am interested in property, like driving and exploring new areas and talking to people.

I left full time work and living in the City of London when I was 48, so too young to retire and eager to find some part time flexible work. So, after 30 years of wearing a smart suit, I changed into some work clothes bought some properties to do up and rent. It led me to getting a City and Guilds in tiling – bathrooms not roofs! Once a small portfolio was established, I had more time on my hands and found Viewber in 2018.

I started like most agents carrying out viewings. I went on to be a keyholder and in 2019 got a bright orange mad venture 360 camera. The tiling knowledge was perfect for doing floorplans as I am used to measuring.

Fun fact: I switched to a hybrid car in late 2018 too so I don’t feel so bad about all the mileage I do. I have also upgraded my phone so my pictures of small rooms are taken with wide angle lens and cannot wait until Viewber want volunteers to take drone pics!

As you can see, to carry out the full spectrum of Viewber offerings it is helpful to love gadgets too.

There is the cost of these gadgets and I have subsidised these through my Viewber income but I quite understand some agents do not want to go this route and are quite happy to stick to viewings.  Personally, I like the variety and challenge that being able to accept all types of work.

The 360-degree tour work gives me the greatest buzz. I see all sorts of properties in all different states of repair all over the South East. It is all loaded on an App called Immoviewer and I find it fascinating to see the stats over the last couple of years.

My first tour was in July 2019, which is still on the App was an eight-bedroom, four storey home in Herne Bay – not an easy one to cut your teeth on! I would then do about one every few months only completing two in 2019. Then of course we had COVID.

However, who could have known the request for these tours would become so popular – in 2020 from May/June after lockdown 1 it went crazy, and I completed 65 tours in 6 months! I have now completed 125 360-degree tours for our clients, so 58 so far in 2021.

Looking at the statistics on the on the App gives you a clue as to why our clients are so keen on 360-degree tours. On the 125 I have carried out, there has been over 110,000 views by potential buyers. That is on average over 875 on each! No wonder the auction houses and agents are keen to add these tours to their property descriptions.

Another aspect of the work is a love of detail and stats. Which leads me to my top tip if you are a Viewber, carrying out a lot of auction housework for Viewber:

– Sign up to their Newsletters

– Have the auction dates in your diary and you can see when it will be busy as a photographer or key holder – better still keep a record of the work you carry out and which weeks are busy

Over half a million appointments completed, have a look at what our clients say....

We could not operate…without them "I strongly recommend teaming up with Viewber. National Residential has been availing its services since 2016 and we continue to do so. They offer a wide range of services such as scheduling viewings and open house appointments for potential buyers and surveyors, as well as providing marketing elements such as photography, floor plans, and 360 tours. Their nationwide availability ensures that their services are easily accessible to everyone, no matter where they are located. They are particularly effective when it comes to facilitating access and viewings with our tenanted property sales which are a real challenge to many agents. For vacant property sales; Viewber will facilitate viewings and surveys by either fitting a key safe or else having one of their local agents act as a key holder. We could not operate our auction sales business without them." David Coughlin - DIRECTOR
