Bend Premier Real Estate Offers 3D Home Tours!
Get Your Bend Oregon Listing Shown in 3D!
Bend Premier Real Estate is thrilled to announce having purchased the Matterport 3D virtual imaging program. Bend Premier Brokers can now offer this fabulous system to our sellers which enables buyers to tour our listings virtually anywhere in the world 24 hours a day.
Unlike traditional 2D photography, the 3D virtual tour allows prospective buyers to "tour" the home, by virtually walking through the property, stopping to "look" at features of interest and zooming in to catch more detail. Outside of touring the home in person, it is the next best thing to being there.
Get More Buyers to See Your Bend Oregon Real Estate
In a seller's market where it may be difficult for the best out of town buyer or even local buyer for your home to get there before someone else offers on the property, having a 3D tour can give all buyers confidence on the features of the home and may enable more buyers to offer without actually touring the property. In real estate, the more people who can actually "see" your home, the more likely you are to get a great offer.
Sell Your Bend Real Estate Quick
Our Brokers can easily set up a photography session to film your home for the 3D tour. Give your Bend Premier Real Estate Broker a call today to find out more how 3D tours can help sell your home!

Did Amelia Earhart Live in Bend, Oregon?
Amelia Earhart Did Not Live in Bend
But her husband, George Putnam, did. George moved to Bend in 1909 and quickly become a city mover and a shaker. He was the editor and publisher of the Bend Bulletin and married Dorothy Binney (heiress of Crayola Crayons) in 1911 and became the town's youngest mayor in 1912.
