24 Reasons Matterport Service Providers should Add Asteroom

Hi All,

If you are a professional real estate photographer and Matterport Service Provider , one of your likely challenges is that 100 percent of your real estate agent client shoots do not include a Matterport 3D tour because listing prices are likely not high enough for the agents to justify paying you for anything more than photos.

Does that sound spot on?

While you might be able to get $149 or $199 Add On for a virtual tour, the time it takes to shoot a Matterport 3D tour may not justify your time: at other of these low-end suggested price points.

BUT, what if you could get $149 or $199 Add On for a virtual tour - with a 3D Dollhouse view - and it only took you 15-20 minutes to shoot and deliver a finished tour and net $89 or $139 respectively? And, what if you could also then offer 2D schematic floor plans as an Add On?

Introducing Asteroom for Matterport Service Providers

As I talk about in the WGAN-TV Short Story video (above, #1480) ...

Among the good news: Asteroom Pay Per Tour Bundle Pricing for (WGAN Forum Members ($60) includes:

✓ No monthly subscription
✓ create the virtual tour with up to 30 360 photo spheres (likely sufficient for 90 percent of listings)
✓ create the 3D Dollhouse view
✓ professionally edit all the 360 panoramas
✓ 6 months of hosting
✓ (additional 6 months hosting available for $15)
✓ (additional 360 photo spheres may be added to the tour for $1.50 each)

Plus, to test and learn with Asteroom, you don’t need a subscription. (And, to test and learn, you could even use your Matterport Pro2 3D Camera (though I advocate for using either the Ricoh Theta Z1 or Insta360 One X that you already bought to shoot Matterport 3D Tours).

Need more convincing?

So I just think what you've done is really amazing! We're excited to share it with the We Get Around Network Community. And as you did at the top of the show, this is how little time it takes to shoot.

That makes it totally affordable. We'll create the tour for you, we'll create the dollhouse for you we'll professionally edit the images for you. If you want floor plans; that's coming shortly, if you want virtual staging; that's coming shortly, you've checked a whole lot of boxes to provide a affordable product that's relatively easy for a photographer who's already into 3D/360 to create, there is a workflow that logically that makes sense mashed up with your AI.

And I think that's very cool. I had two other thoughts. I think they were are going to escape me. Dang, they were just on the tip of my tongue here on this on tour creation. I think it's actually going to escape me so I'll actually I'll tease then I'll have some new information in the We Get Around Network Forum because as soon as I hang up, I'm sure I'm going to have that, that additional thought. Yeah, literally. Eric, you were going to say.

- Yeah, I just want to close this with a remark that ... let me reiterate that I, I know I've been watching the Forum even though I don't actively participate, but I do engage. I do observe what people are saying. Also understand what other companies are doing. I have seen a lot of people discuss right, like their relationship with their tour company, right. So I just want to be honest here and be upfront.

It's that we are creating a tour solution for everyone. But we will not go steal your clients intentionally like I know Matterport pick up their phone, call your client and say why don't you buy a camera? Like we don't do anything like that, right.

We are going to continue to market to real estate professional, they want to create 3D tours with a camera of their choice. That's what I want to close with and that position will never change and it will just always stay like this.
