MyHome.ie Launches Ireland’s First Live Property Viewing Platform

MyHome.ie has today announced the launch of ‘MyHome Live’, an innovative new platform that, for the first time, enables estate agents in Ireland to conduct a live video tour of a property for an unlimited number of viewers.

Speaking today, John Callan, Head of Product and Client Solutions at MyHome.ie, said: “We are delighted to launch this platform, which is the first of its kind in Ireland. Only the agent needs to be physically present in the property during a live tour, during which questions from any number of prospective buyers can be asked and answered in real-time.”

Mr Callan said that this development would be hugely appreciated in the current environment and could signal a new way of viewing properties. “MyHome Live offers buyers the most realistic sense of a property without actually being there, which makes sense at a time when social distancing is so important. This will also be a significant source of comfort to vendors who may not want to facilitate crowded open viewings in future.”

He added that this platform has also been rolled out for rental properties. “We know that more and more people are also viewing rental properties virtually so it makes sense for MyHome Live to accommodate that market, eliminating risk from the viewing process.”

This launch comes on the back of MyHome.ie adding a virtual and video tours section to its website to reflect the new environment brought about by Covid-19. MyHome.ie is currently showcasing over 1,300 properties in this section.
