If you take a look at the video above, you'll notice I'm not wearing my new Warby Parker glasses. I'm actually wearing a virtual reality headset called the Oculus Rift, and it's the future of real estate. This is how buyers will look at properties in the very near future.
Listing agents will photograph homes in 3-D, which can then be shown through virtual reality headsets like these. You can take a 'walking' tour of a home while sitting in the comfort of your own home.

You can see everything in every home and even out the windows. Buyers will be able to walk through about 10 properties in 15 minutes and then make a decision about whether they want to go see one of them in person.
Virtual reality lets you 'walk' through a home at any time from the comfort of your home.

We're currently beta testing the Oculus by Samsung, and it's pretty neat. It takes a bit of time to get used to, but once you do, it's pretty amazing. It's all about the future and saving time during your house hunting experience. The way things are, it could take up to 2.5 hours to visit five properties. With virtual reality, you can 'walk through' a home at any time, at any place.
