We're on a Mission, to improve the way we buy and sell Real Estate, for good!
So what’s this all about?
No, this is not just another real estate platform to view properties for sale… Here, you can EXPERIENCE them, as well as the surrounding neighborhoods in 3D.
We’re building the VPM to be every agents best friend and every buyers new favorite website. We’re here to help cut out all the unnecessary driving around, sitting in traffic, finding parking, over and over, only to realise it was never your dream home.
We’re using cutting edge, 3D Scanning, VR (Virtual Reality) and AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology to create the ultimate user experience for buyers, sellers and agents alike. No more time wasters!
We’re talking, exploring properties from your couch, every last detail, in 3D, then have a live video call with the agent and only then decide if you’d like to book a viewing, saving time, money and stress. Or you could pop down to your nearest VPM partnered agency and let an agent take you through properties on one of our touch-screen kiosks.
Moving to a new city? No worries! You can explore schools, beaches, shops and more from an interactive drone view in the 360 Explorer tab.
Phew, so much easier right? Say farewell to hassle, and say hello to a simpler way of finding your dream home!
Agents, this part is for you!
Sell more properties, faster and smarter!
We’ve made the process so simple; use our booking system to request one of our trained and trusted crew to come do the 3D scanning for you, FOR FREE! The process couldn’t be easier. Head over to Pricing to see deals on credit packages.
We only allow one agency per property listing so get in touch now, not now now! Get the upper hand and start adding properties today. Don’t forget to have fun while doing it, otherwise… what’s the point?
Our Inspiration
In the bustling realm of real estate, innovation and technology are changing the game. With 7 years in the field of immersive technology, we embarked on a mission to transform the way properties are showcased and sold. Fueled by frustration with conventional platforms and a passion for innovation, we envisioned a platform that truly resonates with modern (and future generation) property buyers and sellers.
The answer to this vision came in the form of the Virtual Property Market (the VPM), a next-generation real estate platform set to redefine property exploration. Unlike its static counterparts, the VPM showcases properties by unveiling every intricate detail through immersive 3D models. Why? Because static footage too often conceals vital elements, leaving prospective buyers and renters with unwanted surprises upon viewing the home physically, wasting precious time.
Drawing from personal experience, I understand the challenges of finding the perfect place. When I relocated to Cape Town, I encountered the same frustrations most face – simply not enough information to commit to buying or signing a long-term lease without seeing a full 3D representation of the property, down to the finest details. This fueled my desire to create the VPM, a platform that empowers both buyers and agents by offering a true-to-life virtual experience and helping sellers by offering a less intrusive method of viewings and by selling faster with less hassle.
Central to the VPM’s prowess is our proprietary 3D scanning technology. This revolutionary approach ensures that every property – whether for sale or rent – is equipped with a 3D model that offers an immersive tour. But we didn’t stop there. To provide a comprehensive experience, we also mapped the surrounding neighborhoods in 360-degrees using specialised (licensed) drones. Now, prospects can explore the community and its amenities from anywhere on the globe, then fly directly into available properties.
Our commitment doesn’t just lie in cutting-edge technology; it’s about enhancing efficiency for agents and eliminating time wasters. With 3D models at their disposal, agents can virtually guide clients through properties, saving valuable time for both parties. This is the most powerful tool for selling to overseas investors and out of town buyers, where distance and logistics often pose challenges.
The choice of Cape Town to begin our venture wasn’t arbitrary. It boasts the highest property value per square meter in South Africa, attracting attention from overseas investors and clients seeking luxury homes. By bringing the charm of the Atlantic Seaboard’s impressive homes, villas, and penthouses to life through 3D tours, we anticipate a surge in web traffic due to the allure of exclusivity and remarkable architecture.
In conclusion, 5D Global VR’s journey in revolutionizing real estate has begun with the Virtual Property Market. The VPM stands as a testament to our commitment to innovation, efficiency, and a future where 3D models redefine property exploration. By addressing the frustrations of buyers, the demands of the future, and the appeal of luxurious locales, the VPM is poised to transform the real estate industry for good.
