Using 3D Tours for Out-of-State Relocation Buyers

Every year, thousands of buyers relocate to the Western Slope from Denver, Texas, Arizona, and the Pacific Northwest. Many never step foot in the home until closing — and they depend on 3D tours to make confident decisions.

Here’s why 3D tours are essential for relocation clients.

1. Eliminates “Bad Fit” Showings

3D tours help buyers instantly evaluate:

  • layout

  • room sizes

  • flow

  • functionality

Agents avoid wasted half-day drives to properties the buyer ultimately hates.

2. Helps Buyers Compare Homes Efficiently

Relocation buyers often:

  • shop remotely

  • narrow down 10–30 listings

  • only travel for finalists

A 3D tour makes your listing stand out.

3. Builds Trust with Long-Distance Buyers

Transparency is everything.

3D tours prove:

  • room scale

  • ceiling heights

  • hallway width

  • sightlines

4. Ideal for Rural & Acreage Properties

Out-of-state buyers need to see:

  • driveway distance

  • slope

  • orientation

  • outbuilding layout

Pair 3D with drone for best results.
