Asteroom and BHHS Fox & Roach bring agents innovative 3D Tours

SAN FRANCISCO - Nov. 25, 2020 - PRLog -- Asteroom, the first smartphone-based provider of mobile 3-D tours and home imaging for real estate professionals, announces today the partnership with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Fox & Roach, the market leading provider of real estate services in Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey and Maryland. The partnership gives BHHS Fox & Roach agents access to Asteroom's leading 3D tour technology, image enhancement and 3D virtual staging capabilities available to all agents starting Monday, October 26.

"As the region's market leader, we continuously provide our agents and consumers with the most ground-breaking technologies for their successful real estate experience," said BHHS Fox & Roach CEO Larry Flick, V., "and Asteroom offers a new ease in the homebuying and selling process."

"There is no doubt that 3D tour is becoming an industry standard. What makes Asteroom unique is that Asteroom is the only solution that's designed to scan with a mobile phone. Phone cameras are getting better and better. We have also made the process of scanning so easy and enjoyable. I think we have a great shot to help put a high quality 3D tour on every listing in the U.S.," said Eric Tsai, CEO and co-founder of Asteroom. "As we continue to innovate in this space, we are seeking out brokerages and teams that we know will benefit the most from Asteroom's innovation. Fox & Roach is a leader in their market, and we know that partnering with them will enhance the homebuying and selling experience for everyone involved."

Fox & Roach will be introducing Asteroom as a 3D tour provider to their agents. The partnership grants BHHS Fox & Roach agents exclusive discounts on the hardware component, as well as a member pricing on software upgrades. In exchange, Fox & Roach will support the use of Asteroom and lead to other BHHS affiliates in the network adopting Asteroom.

Asteroom's technology utilizes cell phone cameras instead of the expensive and often bulky hardware of its competitors. By leveraging smartphone camera technology to achieve full home scans in less than 20 scans, one 2,000 sq ft home can be completed in as little as 15 minutes. Once agents finish collecting the 360 images, they simply upload to the cloud where Asteroom's AI will stitch the images into a 3D dollhouse within 24 hours. Every Asteroom tour also includes a 2D floor plan with dimension estimates. Additionally, Asteroom also provides image enhancement services for images that easily rival expensive professional photography packages.

"Our focus will always be on giving agents the tools they need to succeed in real estate," said Tsai. "Real estate agents remain the single most important variable in every real estate transaction, and we want to continue our focus on aiding them in providing the best service to their clients."
