How BC Agents Are Closing Deals Without In-Person Showings

How BC Agents Are Closing Deals Without In-Person Showings

Raj M. from Royal LePage told us: 'My clients in Vancouver toured the condo live within VR call and made an offer without stepping inside. That's never happened before.' It's happening more often now, and it's not a fluke — it's a repeatable process.

The setup: a 3D virtual tour that lets buyers walk every room from their phone or laptop, combined with LiveVR Call — a live video feature built into the tour itself. No separate app, no Zoom link, no screen share. The agent and buyer are inside the same virtual space, talking in real time.

Why buyers commit without visiting

A well-made 3D tour removes the three main uncertainties buyers have before a showing: room size, flow between rooms, and what the neighbourhood looks like. When they've already measured every wall, checked ceiling heights, and seen the street on a drone clip, a showing becomes a formality rather than a discovery.

  • Buyers can measure walls, doorframes, and ceiling heights inside the tour
  • Virtual staging shows furnished rooms without moving furniture
  • LiveVR Call lets your agent answer questions live inside the tour
  • QR yard sign sends walk-by buyers directly to the same tour

What this means for out-of-town buyers

BC attracts a significant number of buyers relocating from Ontario, Alberta, and overseas. These buyers are making decisions on a compressed timeline with limited visits. A tour that lets them explore on a Tuesday night in Toronto — and call their agent to walk through it live on Wednesday — compresses weeks of uncertainty into hours.

200+ realtors across Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, and Vancouver Island now include a 3D tour with every listing. Most say they couldn't go back to photography-only packages.

The setup is simpler than you think

LiveVR shoots the 3D tour during the same session as photos. It adds about 45 minutes to the shoot. The tour is live within 48 hours, hosted for 12 months, and comes with a QR yard sign and virtual staging at no extra cost. The Standard package — $329 for homes up to 6,000 sq ft — includes LiveVR Call built in.

Put this into practice on your next listing.
