Carpenter Realtors
Case Study
Attracting more qualified buyers and capitalize on the growing demand for 3D virtual tours
The Challenge
Improve agent efficiency and leverage new marketing technology
Carpenter Realtors is a market dominant, residential brokerage that distinguishes themselves throughout the midwest with their comprehensive Home Marketing System. After seeing Matterport’s immersive 3D real estate tours, David Caveness, President and CEO, recognized a huge opportunity to help his agents win more listings, but was unsure if agent adoption would be high in their mid-range market.
– Unsure of agent or client demand for 3D tours
– Need to justify cost of camera
– Average cost of home lower than national average

THE SOLUTION
Streamline operation, hire independent contractors to stay cost-efficient
Carpenter Realtors drove agent adoption by internally marketing the service to their agents during a launch meeting at the beginning of the year. They developed a streamlined system for ordering and hired 4 different independent contractors to operate the camera across their regional network of listings to keep costs low.
Management set up a free Google Form to log scan requests and created a custom system to schedule scan requests in bulk to maximize efficiency.
The in-house marketing team then QA’s the 3D models and distributes marketing collateral and online links to the agent team.
