How to Create a Virtual Tour of a House

Take photos of all of the rooms in your home capturing as much of the room in one photo as you can and making the pictures as panoramic as possible. The more you show in each picture, the larger the room will appear, which will help you show off to potential buyers.

Upload the photos to your computer using an SD or CF card reader, depending on your camera's requirements. Alternatively, scan your photos to your computer if you do not have them available digitally or on a memory stick. Once you have your photos scanned, delete the photos that are unnecessary for the virtual tour and edit or resize any of the photos you wish to add to the virtual tour before creating the tour of the home.

Open your computer's Internet browser and find a virtual tour hosting website that is safe and trustworthy. Most virtual tour hosting websites online are free for anyone to use, including individuals and also real estate agents. Some virtual tour host websites do offer premium package service however, for creating virtual tours with more space for photos and premium branding services, so be sure to check various companies before deciding on a tour package or host.

Register with the tour hosting website and company of your choice. Most virtual tour hosting companies require registration to store and share your virtual tour and the photos within them. Once you are registered, you can begin using the website's virtual tour builder to complete your virtual house tour.
