The first international virtual reality platform for real estate
The first fully integrated real estate solution that can be used 100% on the move, Hovve simplifies the world of real estate with innovative tools that save time for both private individuals and professionals, or even those wishing to become professionals, in terms of property entry, management and international distribution.
"We're for the VRevolution": it's a revolutionary vision of real estate that has been developed since 2013 in Geneva by Jean-Baptiste Creton, an expert in the real estate brokerage sector. And it's about time. In his own words: "Real estate hasn't changed in over 50 years. Today, the most modern websites provide no more information than an advert in a 1966 Lausanne newspaper" (i.e. a photo of the property, its description and geolocation data).
TELL A STORY THROUGH A VIRTUAL TOUR
Hovve is a game-changer. As well as simplifying the input, management and distribution of real estate on all media, the platform enables the creation of a fully immersive 3D visit with all the information required to discover a property. As they move from room to room, customers have access to a wide range of parameters:
- preview of a property in virtual and augmented reality with specific information
- satellite access to all surrounding amenities (geolocation and GPS guidance), so you can judge the property from the outside in its direct environment and take note of any potential nuisances
- live chatbot that, thanks to artificial intelligence, advises customers, guides them to ads and informs them without having to call or email
- appointments are just a click away
Thanks to the ease of use of its search tools, Hovve offers significant time and cost savings to all real estate players, from the management of the professional's activity to the visit of the private individual. With this solution, the agency can be open 24/7, the customer can visit a property in just a few minutes from wherever he wants, whenever he wants, and the owner experiences fewer untimely visits.
Today, the technology is available as a white label, or as modules that can be adapted to the websites of existing agencies. By the end of 2016, the product will be launched, accessible to all, as a premium application (CHF 50 for a simple package with all data entry, management and distribution tools, CHF 100 for the full version with unlimited ads and an automated website linked to the application).
A TECHNOLOGY APPLICABLE TO OTHER FIELDS
According to Jean-Baptiste Creton, "in the long term, we may be able to make investment and purchasing decisions from a distance, without having to travel, thanks to all these solutions". Although the application is currently dedicated to real estate, the technology developed is available for other media. VR is of interest to major companies, who have already contacted Hovve to build tours of their own offices and laboratories.
Never before seen. Hovve offers the world's first fully mobile, intuitive and immersive real estate solution that can also be adapted to other sectors. It's been announced: VR is transforming the way businesses and customer service operate. Welcome to the future!
