Real estate agents are critical for the home buying experience of a luxury home. For this reason, some real estate agents avoid the use of virtual tours as unregulated online access is a problem.

The problem is twofold. First, many home owners wish to maintain privacy and security and not allow strangers to walk through their property online. Second, the real estate agent is removed from the buying process. The real estate agent is not able to highlight the key features that make the luxury home special.

But there is a solution. Password protection.

Password protection can be as simple as a single password that provides access. This is shared which is admittedly the lowest level of security. But it can be changed periodically to deny access to buyers who cannot be verified and the new password provided to potential buyers.

Access control may also be more sophisticated with a username and password created for a single prospective buyer. These accounts can be created/deleted as appropriate. This requires support from the web designer as such infrastructure is specific to the web hosting infrastructure.

On this page, we have a prospective buyer request access via email. Once the password or login credentials (username and password) are provided, then the prospective buyer is able to access the page with the virtual tour of the luxury home.

This guarantees that the real estate agent remains in the buying experience and then allows the prospective buyer to revisit the home virtually and help them make the final decision. This is optimal for the luxury home real estate market.
