Who the walkthrough is really for in Grand Haven
Grand Haven is a lakeshore destination first and a commuter town second. A large slice of the listings are waterfront homes, vacation properties, and second homes bought by buyers from Chicago, Detroit, and across the Midwest who want Lake Michigan access, the State Park beach, and the boardwalk.
The 3D tour earns its $100 here on one specific buyer: vacation and second-home buyers shopping from another state, who will not walk the house until they are already committed. A walkthrough link does a job no gallery can — it lets someone move through the floor plan on their own time, in their own order, and arrive at a showing already knowing whether the layout works.
What you actually get
- An interactive walkthrough — a Zillow 3D Home and Matterport-style tour a buyer can navigate room to room from any device
- One link — drop it in the MLS, your listing page, an email, or a social post
- Captured on the same shoot — no second appointment, no second trip, no separate scheduling
- A 2D floor plan option — add measurements for $75 so photos, dimensions, and the walkthrough all live in one place
- A premium path — a fully hosted Matterport Pro tour runs $250 to $295, custom-quoted, for higher-end listings that warrant it

How it is captured
The scan runs alongside the photo shoot rather than as a separate visit, which adds time on site but not a second appointment on your calendar. The home should be shot-ready the same way it would be for stills: lights on, blinds set, counters clear, nothing in the frame that should not be there. Pets and people stay out of the scan for obvious reasons.
The finished tour is delivered as a link on the same next-business-day standard as the photos.

Grand Haven 3D tour FAQ
How much does a 3D virtual tour cost in Grand Haven?
It is a $100 add-on to any photo package: Essential $245, Showcase $375, or Signature $525 (which already includes a walkthrough). A fully hosted Matterport Pro tour is $250 to $295, custom-quoted.
Is it a real Matterport tour?
The $100 add-on covers Zillow 3D Home and a Matterport-style walkthrough, which is what the large majority of listings need. A premium, fully hosted Matterport Pro tour is available as a custom quote for higher-end properties.
Do you need a separate appointment for the tour?
No. The scan is captured during the same session as the HDR stills, which is why it is priced as an add-on rather than as a standalone product.
Can I add a floor plan to a Grand Haven listing too?
Yes. A 2D floor plan is $75, so a buyer gets photos, measurements, and a walkthrough from one shoot.
