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.

Keep safe and happy in Hawke’s Bay these holidays
As holiday-makers enjoy their time in the sunny Hawke’s Bay, Police have advice for both locals and visitors about how to ensure we head into 2026 on a high note.
Inspector Lincoln Sycamore, Hawke’s Bay Area Commander, says he wants everyone to have a safe and enjoyable New Year in our region.
“We welcome you if you’re in Hawke’s Bay to enjoy the weather, food, and everything else our area has to offer. Respect each other, don’t overindulge and make good decisions. Don’t be ‘that person’ who ruins it for everyone.”
🔵 Staff deployed across Hawke’s Bay, to beaches, events and more
“Keep yourselves safe and look after each other,” says Inspector Sycamore.
There will be a strong Police presence in traditional holiday hotspots across our region, including our beautiful beaches.
We all have a responsibility to ensure our friends and loved ones are safe this summer, so keep an eye out and report any concerns you have.”
🔵 Visible presence on Hawke’s Bay roads: If you can’t follow road rules, expect to see red and blue in your rear-view.
Inspector Sycamore says officers will continue to be out on our roads, targeting unsafe drivers.
“Alcohol continues to be a factor in a number of crashes across the region, and we will continue to set up checkpoints and breath test drivers,” he says.
"Wear your seatbelt, don’t drink and drive, stay off your phone and make sure you’re rested."
🔵 When you’re shopping, we’ll be watching
As you flash your cash at the holiday sales, Police beat teams will be conducting routine patrols through retail areas right into the New Year.
Inspector Sycamore says officers will be checking in with local store workers and members of the community.
If you feel unsafe or have concerns about dangerous, illegal or suspicious behaviour, call Police on 111.
For non-urgent concerns you can call 105 or visit www.police.govt.nz... and report the incident online.
