Giraffe360 – excellent tool to engage real estate customers

giraffe360

           Youtube Giraffe360 – world’s best real estate marketing tool   “Why Giraffe360”?  “It’s the longest animal in the jungle that sees the most,” says Micus Opelt, the company’s chief executive and founder. How did Giraffe360 start? ”Several years ago, I had to find an office for the company. Arming myself with the offer’s list, I sat on the bus and went to see the objects. It took a whole day, I was tired, but nothing I didn‘t find it right. Then I wondered how good it would be to do it virtuously while sitting at the office. This resulted in solutions that led to Giraffe360.” ”In our tool, we combined a camera and a laser that works together and added processing software. The ability to take pictures and measure a room in the synchronized process is precisely the uniqueness of our product. It taped the most readily used automated camera in the world to photograph, scan and measure properties.  Typically, a survey of spaces in the real–estate business takes place manually with small hand lasers, and programs then process the data. In the“Giraffe360” camera, this process is fully automated. We also have unique software to convert the data into a virtual tour and property plan that we send...
