PHOENIX - Aug. 20, 2020 - With COVID-19's effects spanning far and wide, innovation is most necessary, especially when it comes to homebuying. In an effort to make this exciting process easier during these times, Shea Homes is proud to offer on-demand, "unmanned" home tour options to potential buyers at Ascent and Emblem at Aloravita in Peoria through a self-service access system called UTour.
Not only does UTour allow homebuyers to schedule a self-guided tour appointment day or night, but after verifying their identity, the customer will also receive all the information they need, including the address, time of appointment, and entry code right to their phone.
At the time of their tour, Smart door locks allow guests to use a special code to gain access into the home. Prospects can then advantage from SheaConnect™, a collection of smart home features included in most Shea Homes. Each model is outfitted with iDevice® Instinct™ and other switches to allow for lighting the homes using voice commands as well as UTour Voice, which allows shoppers to use Amazon Alexa to ask questions on-demand about the Aloravita homes or community.
"Whether prospective homebuyers are aiming to maintain social distancing, are not available to tour model homes during open hours or simply prefer to look on their own before meeting a salesperson, this innovative technology is the ideal solution," said Shea Homes Arizona VP of Sales and Marketing, Ken Peterson.
Contactless viewing may be around long-term. The convenience and informal concept of offering self-guided model tours is just another tool that utilizes the latest technology to assist prospective homebuyers to achieve the full, hands-on tour experience during their search but also allows builders to present their homes and communities to people they may not have been able to otherwise.
