How Do Virtual Rental Viewings Actually Work in Perth?

Thinking about a virtual rental viewing in Perth? It's pretty clever – it's where someone goes to the rental property for you and uses technology, mainly video, to show you around while you're somewhere else. This way, you get to see the place remotely.

Finding a rental in Perth often means checking out properties in person. You usually find them online first.

But if you're not able to physically go to the viewing, maybe you're interstate, overseas, or just flat out busy, you can't rock up to the home open.

A virtual viewing service sorts this out. You find a rental property you're interested in online.

Then, you organise a virtual viewing with a service provider in Perth. You give them the details of the property and when the viewing is on.

The service sends one of their team members to the property at the scheduled time. These folks usually know their stuff about checking out rentals.

They'll use their phone or a camera to capture the viewing for you.

Often, they'll do a live video call. You can connect with them using an app on your phone or computer, like Zoom or FaceTime.

Through this live feed, you can see exactly what they see as they wander through the house or unit. You can talk to them in real-time and ask them to show you specific things.

You might say, "Could you open the blinds?" or "What's the size of the fridge space?"

As well as the live chat, they'll snap plenty of clear photos. They get pics of every room, the kitchen appliances, the bathroom grout, and even the view out the windows.

They'll also record a full video tour of the place. This video is like walking through the home yourself, but you're just watching it on a screen.

After the viewing is done and dusted, the service sends you all the info. You get the recording of the live video (if they did one), all the photos, and the recorded video tour.

They usually add a written summary too. This report gives you their notes on what they saw and the condition of the property.

You can then go through all this info at your own pace. You can watch the videos a few times to make sure you didn't miss anything.

This helps you get a really good feel for the place. You can see its condition and how it's laid out, almost like you were standing there.

It makes checking out rentals easy, even when you're miles away from Perth. It's a game-changer for people looking from afar.
