Baton Rouge Realtor Utilizes Virtual Reality to Bring Home-Buying into New Age

BATON ROUGE, La. - Jan. 28, 2016 - PRLog -- Darren James is believed to be the first and only Realtor in the Baton Rouge area to purchase and use this leading-edge technology.

“We are pleased to have this 3D filming process as it greatly benefits home sellers who entrust us with listing and selling their houses,” said Darren James. “And since so many people start their home search process online, these 3D videos give the feeling of actually being in the home. What better way to preview a property than from the comfort of your own home?”

On average, it takes about 60-90 minutes to fully scan a 2,000 square foot home and additional time to edit and upload the video online. Because the 3D camera system is so new to Darren James and his team, they are still hard at work updating the graphics for the more than 80 listings the team typically carries at any given time. To see an example of a 3D virtual tour, check out the virtual tour links in the listings on www.agent225.com or visit http://www.homes225.com/3d-homes/.

The software that works in conjunction with the 3D filming equipment can also create a black and white floor plan as well as a three-dimensional dollhouse view.

Early feedback from clients and potential homebuyers alike has shown Darren James it was worth the expense to implement 3D virtual tours. It’s just one more way, James explains, Darren James Real Estate Experts tries to remain at the forefront with its technology usage and marketing tools to assist clients.

Their efforts seem to be working as the firm was named to the 2015 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies. Darren James Real Estate Experts was the only Louisiana real estate company to make the list. In addition, The Wall Street Journal and REAL Trends named Darren James one of America’s top 250 real estate teams last year. The team was ranked No. 51 nationally for closed team transactions (456 sales in 2014) and it was the third consecutive year appearing on this national list.

A Baton Rouge native, James attended Louisiana State University. He had a nearly 10-year career in law enforcement with the Department of Public Safety before earning his real estate license in 2001. James has been a multi-million dollar producer every year since becoming a Realtor. Prior to starting his own real estate firm, James earned numerous awards with Keller Williams Realty and Coldwell Banker.
