Estate agent hosts live house viewing using Periscope

House Network enables potential buyers to view homes without making appointments, ask questions in real-time, and re-watch their favorite properties.

Live video streaming is becoming a big part of online media, advertising and even sales. With an increasingly expensive and competitive housing market, UK-based HouseNetwork is hosting live-streaming of property viewings for house-hunters who use Periscope.

The process will potentially enable more people to see a property at the same time, taking less time out of their day and enabling prospective buyers to look at more homes without having to make an appointment. Viewers will be able to ask questions about the property in real-time, as well as re-watch viewings at a later date. In this way, the company claims to be making the house-selling process fairer.

We have already seen virtual reality being used to let house-hunters explore multiple properties. What other emerging tech can enhance the house viewing process?
