The process is quite simple, actually. In order to get started, you'll need a laptop, webcam, and either a wireless router or other wireless internet access. A USB extension cable can prove helpful as well, but is not entirely necessary.
Schedule your Open House Broadcast
Scheduling an Open House Broadcast is similar to creating a listing on any real estate website. During this process you will input information about the property being sold and upload pictures and descriptions. One difference from other real estate sites is that you will have to add the date, time, and time zone of the Open House Broadcast. This lets people know the day and time to log in to attend your Broadcast. The time zone is an important piece of information. Keep in mind that anyone from anywhere in the world may like to watch your Open House Broadcast. They will need to know the time zone you are in so that they can compensate for their own time zone.
Once you have Scheduled your Open House Broadcast, it will show up in the search results for Scheduled Open House Broadcasts.
Host your Open House Broadcast
On the day of the Open House Broadcast, simply show up to the property; log into the site and click the "Begin Broadcast" button. Once your Open House Broadcast has begun, your property will be moved from the Scheduled search results to the Live search results to indicate that the Open House Broadcast is currently in progress.
While your Open House Broadcast is in progress, anyone in the world is able to attend from the comfort of their own home. Those that already have accounts and have logged in will be able to interact with you via the chat box. Their questions will show up on your screen and you can respond to them via text, voice, or video using your webcam.
Like any traditional Open House, there is a digital register for every Open House Broadcast. Anyone who likes the property is encouraged to sign the register which you may acquire after the Open House Broadcast is concluded.
Record your Open House Broadcast
When you start your Open House Broadcast, you are given the option to record the broadcast to our servers. After the Open House Broadcast is concluded, your recorded Open House Broadcast will still be available for viewing by anyone who was unable to attend the live broadcast. It will show up in the Recorded search results at that point.
VIEWERS
For those who want to view an Open House Broadcast, the process is even easier. All you'll need is a computer, an internet connection, and a few minutes of spare time. A comfy chair and a freshly brewed cup of coffee are recommended, but not required.
