But as a Realtor® here in Hampton Roads with the pace of our sales and a .8 months supply of available listings there is no time to hire out a tour. By the time you'd hire someone & get the tour back and into your listing it's under contract. That's one reason I started to shoot my own, originally with Matterport and now using Inside Maps.

Question of the Day: What does it mean that Matterport now has a new CEO?

6 yearsVTLV (2889): We get a new CEO announced in other news sources and nothing from the company in my email this week. Not feeling very hopeful about this one. What ever remarks he's made about the current tour inventory clearly support what the shareholders want back for returns. Returns they're not getting after 5 years of investing from Camera and hosting fees.

I see more reasonable (if necessary) purchase a 5k scanner from a Uk based company called Effortless.
