iGuide 3D Tours — Everything Gilbert and Chandler Agents Need to Know

3D virtual tours have become one of the most requested add-ons for real estate listings across the Phoenix East Valley. iGuide is the platform used by The Listing Bees, and for good reason — it is ARMLS compatible, produces accurate floor plans, and gives buyers a fully interactive experience that no other tour format matches.

What Is iGuide?

iGuide is a 3D virtual tour platform that uses a specialized LIDAR camera system to capture every room of a property. The result is an interactive tour that allows buyers to navigate through the home room by room, view any space from multiple angles, and get an accurate sense of scale and layout.

Unlike some 3D tour platforms, iGuide also produces a highly accurate 2D floor plan with precise square footage measurements as part of the same capture session. This means one visit captures the tour and the floor plan simultaneously.

iGuide vs. Matterport

Both iGuide and Matterport are industry-standard 3D tour platforms. The key differences for real estate agents in Phoenix:

• ARMLS compatibility — iGuide tours are natively compatible with ARMLS (Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service), making embedding and submission straightforward

• Floor plan accuracy — iGuide produces more accurate square footage measurements using LIDAR technology, which can be valuable for listings where measured square footage differs from tax records

• Hosting — iGuide tours are hosted permanently for the life of the listing without monthly fees

How Buyers Use 3D Tours

Buyers interact with iGuide tours by clicking through the floor plan to move between rooms, viewing 360-degree panoramas in any space, and using the measurement tool to check room dimensions before making an offer. Out-of-state buyers in particular use 3D tours to make purchasing decisions without an in-person visit — a significant advantage in a market like Phoenix that attracts heavy relocation buyer traffic.

What Is Included With an iGuide Tour

• Interactive 3D tour hosted at a permanent URL

• Accurate 2D floor plan with room dimensions and total square footage

• Embeddable iframe code for MLS and agent websites

• ARMLS-compatible link for direct MLS submission

• Shareable link for email campaigns and social media

Which Listings Should Have a 3D Tour?

3D tours add the most measurable value on larger homes where buyers want to understand the layout before visiting, unique floor plans that are hard to convey in photos alone, luxury properties, new construction, and any listing targeting out-of-state buyers. As tour costs have come down, many agents now include iGuide on every listing over 1,500 square feet as a standard part of their marketing package.
