Omaha Real Estate company utilizes new 6D technology amid pandemic

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) – For one Omaha couple, they never thought they would be able to sell their home in the middle of the pandemic. Thanks to new technology, they were able to.

Most of us have bought our homes by looking at pictures printed on paper or on your computer screen. But now you can take it a step beyond, tour the home of your dreams and not even step foot into it.

Brett Clarke may look like he’s playing a video game…

“Here we are in the hunting lodge,” said Clarke.

But he’s touring a home.

It’s virtual reality and it’s this technology that sold the Clarke’s home.

“I didn’t really want people in our house walking around, I didn’t know where they’d been,” said Annie Clarke.

In the midst of a pandemic the Clarke’s wanted to sell their home, but they didn’t exactly want people in it.

“I’m sure there are families out there with that may have underlying conditions and things like that… there’s no way we would do it,” So that’s when they turned to Jeff Cohn and his tech-driven real estate firm kwElite.

“Not every consumer wants to have buyers in their house every single day,” said Cohn.

It’s this idea that drove kwElite to partner up with VRLY, virtual reality technology, taking the 3D technology we all know to the next level of 6D.

“Where they can tour the home much like a video game and be able to fly through the entire house see all the sightlines and everything’s interactive,” said Cohn.

“For example, look at this door, I can open the door go right up to this washer machine and look at all the details, in fact, this dryer says 2 hours and 50 minutes to dry this load of laundry. Now that’s a slow dryer,” said Cohn.

“So, they can open doors, they can look under countertops and really make sure before pulling the trigger on their largest investment ever that they’re making the right decision.”

The 6D technology even allows a potential buyer to visualize future changes, maybe different paint or new fixtures.

“We figured in the three months we weren’t going to see anybody and or be able to have buyers at that time,” said Cohn.

Not only did the Clarkes find a buyer, but it was also the technology that sealed the deal.

“They were able to take that virtual reality to their families, show them exactly what the house looked like, and get their blessing on the home that they were going to buy,” said Cohn.

In addition to the virtual reality, Cohn’s office in west Omaha even has loans, insurance, mortgage services, and more. It’s essentially a one-stop-shop for everything real estate.

Lincoln real estate market adjusts to new normal of COVID-19

Matt Olberding Apr 12, 2020 Updated Aug 7, 2020

The Lincoln real estate market has been humming along for years, setting records for sales volume and sale prices several years running.

That trend appeared to be continuing in the first couple months of the year, until the COVID-19 pandemic reared its ugly head.

Like many other businesses that rely on face-to-face interactions, with tasks that can’t be done from home, the local real estate market is feeling the effects of the coronavirus.

Like many other businesses that rely on face-to-face interactions, with tasks that can’t be done from home, the local real estate market is feeling the effects of the coronavirus.

This past Sunday, April 5, there were 51 open houses.

Some local real estate firms have stopped doing open houses altogether. Rodenburg said his firm recommended agents no longer hold open houses, and he personally has stopped doing them.

He still does occasional showings by appointment, but he said he is very careful about what he touches and makes sure to sanitize everything.

“I have Purell in one hand and Handi Wipes in the other,” Rodenburg said.

“I have Purell in one hand and Handi Wipes in the other,” Rodenburg said.

Interest in virtual home tours has increased quite a bit not only in Lincoln but across the country.

“We’ve seen a huge rush of agents scrambling to find 3D virtual solutions to bring real estate listings to buyers,” said Tyler Irons, co-founder of VRLY, a Lincoln-based company that offers immersive 3D video tours of properties for sale.

“I get emails and calls daily from agents and brokerages alike not only in Nebraska but across the country,” he said, noting that some real estate brokerages are requiring every listing to have a 3D tour.

Irons said VRLY is growing rapidly and has plans to launch services in South Carolina, Florida, Texas, Utah, Massachusetts and in Canada.

It’s not just agents who are seeing coronavirus complications.

Rodenburg said he was working with an elderly couple who wanted to list their house for sale April 1 but decided to put their plans on hold because one of them has heart problems and was worried about potential exposure to the disease through showings.

Rodenburg also said he’s had a couple of buyers put things on hold because of financial concerns.

Coronavirus is also causing headaches for home inspectors and appraisers, Rodenburg said, because sellers are often leery of letting people traipse through their homes.

The good news, said Harner, is that unlike the real estate crash of the late 2000s, the current slowdown is not due to any structural problems with the market.

She noted that in 2008, there were more than 2,000 homes for sale in Lincoln at any given time, and mortgage interest rates hovered around 6%. Now, there are just more than 800 homes for sale in the market, and interest rates are hovering near a 10-year low below 3.5%.

“Today, the foundational framework of our economy is solid,” Harner said. “There is no oversupply in the market or plunging prices; healthy appreciation, slow and steady, has created a balanced and robust market to withstand the financial ramifications of COVID-19.”

LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) -The ongoing pandemic seems to have claimed another Lincoln business as Champions Fun Center announced its closure this week. But the space won’t be without families for too long. A Lincoln childhood staple is getting some new life after 20 years.

“This happened really fast, it wasn’t like when they first shut down during the pandemic,” said Makaila Murphy, Director of ClubLNK. “It just happened…boom…boom boom…really quickly.”

The space will soon be known as ClubLNK, a membership-based complex for kids and families. A lot of groundwork has already been done for the group, and it plans to keep big items like a play place and video games, but changes are coming.

“One of the big changes is the bowling alley will leave and we will replace that with a basketball court and a turf area for speed and agility training,” said Tyler Irons, CEO and found of VRLY. “And the other big changes is the go-karts are leaving and we’re going to make than an outdoor skating track. Sort of an indoor/outdoor skating area”

Memberships will be on a monthly basis, starting at $100 a family.

“Parents can drop their children off , its just like any other gym you can drop them off,” said Irons. “We don’t have like daycare or anything like that. We aren’t responsible for the kids but they can come here and hangout.”

The group also runs two youth basketball clubs, which will now have a more permanent home for practices and games.

“Now having this we can actually reach plenty more kids if we wanted to,“ said Tommy Johnson, basketball director. “We can grow our family even more”

They hope to have ClubLNK up and running by early to mid-summer.
