Photo, drone & video
TrueView 360s
TrueView360s produces 360° virtual tours, professional still photography, and aerial drone imagery for real estate listings and businesses. It has operated since 2016 and provides photography services throughout the US, hosting custom and real estate tours on its own server and business tours on Google Maps.
There are two tour products. Custom and real estate virtual tours link 360° panoramas into an interactive walk-through, hosted for a year or until the property sells or leases, with branding, contact details, outbound links, and an optional floor plan. Google virtual tours use the Street View programme: panoramas of the business are uploaded to its Google Business Profile so searchers can see inside. The company also offers CGI renderings and virtual staging, on-site headshots and team photography, and a Virtual Sales Platform.
The process is fixed. A photo shoot takes one to two hours; a real estate tour is usually available the next day; Google tour imagery is uploaded the next day and completed within one to five days once Google links it; the Virtual Sales Platform usually takes about ten business days. The client receives a URL to post on their own website, listing services, and social media.
Pricing is published. The Basic Business View package is $499 for up to 12 tour viewpoints with no recurring fee; the Basic Real Estate package is $299 for up to 1,000 square feet, with a $.10 per square foot surcharge above that; and up to 20 professional HDR images are $225, with additional photos $10 each. Extra viewpoints, video conversion, and additional years of hosting are priced separately, and quantity discounts are offered on three or more custom tours. TrueView360s is AppFolio approved and compatible and a Zillow certified photographer, and says its photos have over 65 million views on Google.
