Virtual Reality Tours
Hi neighbours,
Virtual Reality has been around now for about 3 years and is growing in popularity and now is more affordable than ever thanks to iStaging and kloudpro.
Why is this important? iStagings VR Maker & VR Editor apps, allow subscribers to create VR tours / 3d walkthroughs with their compatible smartphones, unlike other providers that must use expensive cameras (US$2500) . This means the cost has dropped to a level small business can afford, from just $39 per month.
So why would you use VR in business? It allows customers to truly visualise and interact with the business, property, vehicle before a physical viewing. See what it really looks like.
iStaging is now linked to realestate.co.nz so your property marketing can now include the technology without a high price tag. The cost to host a tour is just $39 per month and just $199+GST to create a tour like the ones below.
Better informed buyers make better buying decisions and as you know buyers have never been as informed as they are today, with so much information available from sites like homes.co.nz , property insights and realestate.co.nz and the newcomer oneroof.co.nz
And being able to come to view the property from the comfort of your own sofa makes viewings more productive in real time.
While at a viewing on Saturday, I had a family through a home in Taradale. One of the parties was looking in Havelock North so I grabbed my VR headset and placed him in a house in Havelock without us having to drive over there, we then talked stats, info etc and he seemed very interested. Saves alot of valuable time showing buyers property that they may not like or want to buy.
So if you want the best tools from your agent make sure they offer you iStaging as part of your marketing package, it is one of the best tools you need to make the most of your featured listings.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.2% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.8% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Nangs- Nitrous Oxide Sold To Our Kids
🚨 HAWKE'S BAY — OUR KIDS ARE AT RISK. IT'S TIME WE STOOD UP.
You've probably seen the empty canisters — on the footpath, at the park, outside the dairy. They're called nangs (nitrous oxide), and right now, they are flooding our community at a frightening rate. Community leaders, police, and Health NZ have already called it an epidemic right here in Hawke's Bay.
So what ARE nangs?
Nangs are large pressurised canisters of nitrous oxide gas, originally designed for whipped cream dispensers, now being sold at dairies and vape stores, and deliberately marketed to our young people. Each big canister contains roughly 300 hits of the gas. When inhaled, the gas deprives the brain of oxygen and can cause:
⚠️ Loss of consciousness — blacking out for 30 minutes or more
⚠️ Permanent nerve damage — numbness, weakness, difficulty walking
⚠️ Permanent brain damage from oxygen deprivation
⚠️ Vitamin B12 destruction — leading to serious neurological harm
⚠️ Fatal car accidents — Nangs have already contributed to road fatalities
Right here in Hawke's Bay, at least two people have already been admitted to the ED with nerve damage in just the past few months. These are our kids. Our whānau. Our neighbours.
Selling nangs recreationally is illegal in New Zealand — it carries up to 2 years imprisonment or a $500,000 fine. [They bypass the law by getting people to complete declarations of what they are going to use it for, with little or no checks on the truthfulness of the declaration]. Yet some local shops are still selling them. That ends now.
💪 HERE'S WHAT WE'RE ASKING YOU TO DO:
1. Find out which local stores are selling nangs — ask around, keep your eyes open
2. Do NOT spend a single dollar in those stores until they stop selling this product to our young people
3. Share this post so every family in Hawke's Bay knows what's going on
4. Talk to your kids about what nangs look like and why they're dangerous
5. Report retailers selling nangs to the NZ Medicines Enforcement team at Medsafe: 0800 444 472
Our community came together after Cyclone Gabrielle. We can come together again. Retailers — we are watching, and we will vote with our wallets. Stop selling nangs, or lose our business. It's that simple.
