Experience the best suburban Ottawa has to offer at Quinn’s Pointe, located in the thriving community of Stonebridge between Barrhaven and Manotick in Ottawa. Surrounded by nature and convenient to top-rated schools, highway 416, public transportation, and recreational centers, Quinn’s Pointe is the perfect place for young families and working professionals. Just a short 25-30 minute drive from downtown Ottawa, the suburb has always had the Riocan plazas as an anchor for grocery stores, restaurants, Cineplex movie theater, and other retail such as Eyes of Barrhaven. But Barrhaven continues to grow with the Regional Group Citigate area and the arrival of major retailers like Costco, Amazon, and car dealerships closer to the highway. Quinn’s Pointe is also home to the Minto Recreation Complex, so those 6 am ice hockey practices are just minutes away.
About Minto Communities Ottawa
Minto was founded in 1955 by four Ottawa brothers, Louis, Gilbert, Irving, and Lorry Greenberg, as a homebuilding business in Ottawa. By 1965, the company had already built over 5,000 homes in the region and had established itself as the largest private landlord in Ottawa. In the late 1980s, Minto diversified and made its first entry into the Toronto market. To this day Minto is one of Ottawa’s largest and most well-known homebuilders.

Model Home Virtual Tour Specialists
With a virtual tour, homebuyers can do their own walk-throughs of properties or model homes from anywhere, and at any time, generating higher engagement and new home sales leads. Virtual tours allow buyers and sellers to come together online at a time that is mutually beneficial.
Time constraints, crowds, and frustrations are taken out of the equation, which adds up to a smoother and less stressful process. Because virtual tours, photographs, aerial photography, floor plans, and other measurements are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, buyers can examine the details, compare properties, and share the information with family, friends, and realtors at their convenience. Virtual Tours don’t drive away model home sales appointments either, what they do is prequalify specific home models for a homebuyer and new home consultant to visit.
We help homebuilders attract more qualified prospects by giving viewers the most complete and accurate representation of the property, filtering unqualified and uninterested leads, and attracting those that are genuinely interested and financially qualified.
Point3D Commercial Imaging is a contributing member of the Ontario Home Builders’ Association. If you are a builder and are looking to learn more or are ready to use 3D Virtual Tours in Ottawa, Montreal or Toronto, contact our team to begin capturing model home virtual tours.

]]>Virtual Open Houses Finding a Home in Real Estate Marketing
Over the past few years, the value of virtual options for businesses of all types has skyrocketed, helping to keep large parts of the economy running during difficult times. However, in a post-pandemic world, virtual open houses continue to be a useful and unique tool in real estate marketing beyond just social distancing.
Open houses are a popular and effective strategy in the real estate industry, allowing multiple home buyers to view properties at the same time. While it is rare for a buyer to make an offer on a property without first touring it in person, virtual open houses have made the process more efficient by eliminating the impersonal, stressful, and staff-dependent nature of in-person open houses. With the help of 3D virtual tour technology, buyers can see a property in vivid detail, whether it is staged or empty, making virtual tours just as reliable as in-person tours.
When prospective home buyers are shopping for a house, they often line up several open house tours per day on weekends. While realtors try their best to keep them in close proximity in time and space, after the first 2 or 3, fatigue sets in, stress takes over, and the properties all begin to look alike, leaving buyers feeling frustrated and sellers unaccomplished. If a prospect does manage to see a house, a follow-up visit is usually necessary especially with couples when only one of the buyers has seen the property. Often times several additional visits are even requested to show parents, friends, or even business partners.
Choosing a home is probably the biggest decision one makes in their lifetime, so this is part of the natural process, and any real estate agent worth their salt understands this and accommodates these requests. But, in a seller’s market, inventory is low and demand high, properties sell fast, leaving home buyers, especially first-timers, feeling pressured into making a fast decision or risk losing the property.
With a 3D virtual tour, prospective buyers can do their own walk-throughs of properties from anywhere, and at any time, generating higher engagement and interest. Virtual tours allow buyers and sellers to come together online at a time that is mutually beneficial. Time constraints, crowds, and frustrations are taken out of the equation, which adds up to a smoother and less stressful process. Because virtual tours, photographs, aerial photography, floor plans, and other measurements are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, buyers can examine the details, compare properties, and share the information with family, friends, and realtors at their convenience.
Further, 3D Virtual Tours attract more qualified prospects by giving viewers the most complete and accurate representation of the property, filtering out unqualified or uninterested leads, and attracting those that are genuinely interested in the property.
3D Tour Stats to Consider
- 95% of prospects are more likely to call about a property with virtual tours
- Properties that use 3D Virtual Tours sell at a 6% higher sale price than those without
- Market time is decreased by 31%
- Time viewing site is increased by 15%
Virtual open houses have become an increasingly popular and effective solution to these challenges in the real estate industry. By hosting a virtual open house, sellers can showcase their property to a larger audience and eliminate the need for multiple in-person visits. Buyers can view properties from the comfort of their own homes and at their own pace, without the need to coordinate schedules or travel.
Virtual open houses also offer convenience and flexibility for both buyers and sellers. Sellers can host virtual open houses at any time, making it easier to accommodate a wider range of interested buyers. And with 3D virtual tour technology, buyers can see a property in vivid detail, whether it is staged or empty, making virtual tours just as reliable as in-person tours.
And because most buyers spend more than two-thirds of their time online when searching for properties before they actually buy or rent, providing them with more information than ever, they are better equipped to make informed decisions. If a picture paints a thousand words, virtual open house tours paint millions.
Overall, virtual open houses provide a valuable and innovative solution for both buyers and sellers in the real estate industry, eliminating the fatigue and stress of in-person open house tours and allowing for more targeted marketing efforts. As technology continues to advance, it is likely that virtual open houses will become an increasingly important part of the real estate marketing process.
What is a Virtual Open House?
A virtual open house is an immersive online tour of a property, especially attractive to the first round of clients who would otherwise visit in person. An excellent feature used to show an agent’s buyers around a property from the comfort of their own home virtual tours are more than just a feature; they are revolutionizing the home-buying business. Take it from the Ottawa homebuilders eQ Homes and Richcraft Homes, who both integrate model home virtual tours in their marketing strategy.
Every year, we donate our 3D virtual tour service to support the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and scan the CHEO Dream of a Lifetime: Minto Dream Home.
Benefits of Virtual Tours for Real Estate Buyers
- The 24/7 open house: Unlike traditional showings which require tedious scheduling and time constraints, virtual tours are “hosted” 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, giving visitors the opportunity to take their time exploring every corner of every room at their leisure and return to take a second (or third) look without the need to schedule an appointment.
- See a property from anywhere: Because virtual tours are worldwide, clients who may have been able to travel to view the listing before having the opportunity to look at properties regardless of the distance, expanding the customer base on a global level.
- Learn the layout better: Virtual tours are more detailed and easier to visualize than just photos and floor plans. Adding tours of the neighborhood, schools, and town centers, prospective buyers can gain a great insight into the area without ever stepping foot on the grounds.
- Prospective buyers can take their time: Clients can spend more time in the rooms and areas that matter to them. If someone is especially interested in closet space, they can take time to explore every storage space in the home. Those who want to pay particular attention to the kitchen, yard, bathrooms, or office space can take their time to “walk through” the spaces that matter most to them without feeling rushed or crowded.
Benefits of Virtual Tours for Real Estate Agents
- More visitors can view the space at once: Because virtual visitors don’t take up any space in the tour, the capacity is limitless.
- Faster Deal Cycle: Present the complete information about a property in an immersive, online format that shortens your deal cycle by providing prospects with everything they need to close.
- More Qualified Prospects: Attract more qualified prospects by giving viewers the most complete representation of your property which cuts down unnecessary site visits.
- Save time, money, and a lot of hassle: Intended to be the first viewing, the purpose is not just to reduce in-person viewings, but to ensure that the second physical viewings are qualified. By streamlining the time spent searching and narrowing down properties to view, buyers will only plan viewings for those in which they are most interested. Because an agent can spend as much as eight hours with clients on first-time viewings, virtual tours are a more efficient marketing tool.
- Immersive experience: By offering an extra dimension and immersive experience, virtual tours enhance the value of online hosting substantially, helping to set the agency apart from the competition. Because 80% of first viewings don’t lead to a second, agents can eliminate wasting time on clients that have little or no intention of purchasing.
- Accessible to buyers with physical limitations: Virtual tours make showings to prospective buyers with restricted mobility or other issues that make it difficult to view properties in person possible. Visiting numerous properties is a time-consuming and draining process for anyone, but for those with disabilities and special needs, it’s just that much harder. Agents can provide all prospective buyers with an immersive experience regardless of their limitations.
- Show properties in their best light: It’s always sunny in the virtual world. Because 60% of viewings are done on evenings and weekends, 3D Virtual Tours have the ability to change the time of day making it easier for agents to show the home’s interior and exterior in daylight, no matter what time of day it really is.
- Editing Tools Highlight Property’s Best Features: Virtual technology also makes it possible to portray the property in its very best light, in springtime, for example, even in the dead of winter. Virtual gardens, lawns, pools, and other exterior features can be virtually optimized as well. Grass made green, pools blue and clear, and gardens filled with colorful spring flowers.
- Less disruptive to sellers’ lives: One of the hardest parts of showing homes to prospects is encouraging sellers to keep the house clean and tidy without being a thorn in their side. This can be especially difficult for sellers with small kids and pets or who work from home. With pre-recorded virtual tours, sellers never have to worry about keeping the property constantly neat and tidy or having their family or work life disturbed.
- Elevate a property’s aesthetic appeal with virtual staging: Virtual staging: Virtual staging can add, change, or upgrade interior design elements to 3D tours and images, in order to make a property, more aesthetically pleasing or easily understood by a buyer. Virtual staging and interior design can be personalized to fit the age or style of the prospective buyer.
Like many other industries that pivoted during the pandemic, the real estate market has changed forever and virtual tours are a huge part of that change. Most of our clients are now including a 3D Tour with every listing because it helps qualify buyers and quickens closing the real estate sale. As a buyers agent, having a digital twin of multiple exclusive listings gives clients the freedom to tour many homes as many times as they want, all from the quiet and convenience of their own home or office.

]]>Our community spotlight for the month of June 2022 focuses on the Mahogany Community By Minto Communities in Manotick with model home Matterport tours!
Currently in its third phase, the Minto Mahogany community in Manotick is a six-acre development just south of Manotick’s Main Street. As with other Minto developments Point3D created the 3D Matterport Tours that power Minto’s sales team to show model homes online. We are ecstatic with the latest release from the Ottawa homebuilder and can’t wait to show you their latest model home virtual tours.
Mahogany boasts an abundance of walkability features such as scenic green space, interwoven walking and biking pathways, the Mahogany Pond, and in the near-future, a neighbourhood school. In Mahogany, you are just steps away from charming Manotick Village, where you are met with to quaint shops, delicious dining options, scenic views, and family-friendly streetscapes.
Manotick, if you don’t know, is a quaint part of South Ottawa that runs along-side and around the Rideau River. The township was first settled in 1833 and one of its first entrepreneurs, Moss Kent Dickinson, constructed Watson’s Mill, Ottawa’s only still operating stone flour mill. In the old township of Manotick, you can still visit Dickinson House where the Dickinson family lived.
Being just south of Ottawa, you are still within very easy access to transit in or big box store shopping in Barrhaven. Plus many of the dog parks, walking trails, and family restaurants that are most sought out between the two are in Manotick already. The area is still very quiet with a lot of farmland especially further south. While the community will be establishing a new school soon, both the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board and Ottawa Catholic School Board already have elementary and secondary schools here.
For a quiet community that strikes the balance between amenity and nature, Mahogany can be called Home. How can you trust us? For one, Both founders of the Company grew up just North of Manotick in Barrhaven and have several pals that still live in Manotick today. The area is less more easygoing and has not been built up like other areas of Nepean until just recently with Barrhaven still expanding towards it.
Home To The 2021 CHEO Dream of a Lifetime Grand Prize!
As community members actively engaging and contributing to making the world a better place, Point3D has provided several ” Random Scans Of Kindness” in the township of Manotick. This involves donating our 3D Matterport services to community organizations and Not-For-Profit groups. We’ve already shared how we allowed both the Dickinson House and Watson’s Mill to welcome online visitors near and far. One of the other contributions we are really proud of is the donation of a 3D Virtual Tour for the CHEO Dream of a Lifetime Lottery 2022. This lottery benefits the kids at CHEO by providing critical care and facility infrastructure. We invite you to take the virtual tour below if you haven’t seen the Grand Prize Minto Dream Home already.

Neatly built on Stittsville’s edge, just 26 minutes away from Ottawa, Westwood is a beautiful community with a fascinating mix of townhouses and single-family homes designed to gratify the lifestyle needs of various homeowners. The residential properties built by Richcraft Homes feature three to five bedrooms, and their sizes, designs, and layouts vary.
About The Builder

One of Westwood’s most appealing aspects is that a long list of essential amenities exist right in the neighbourhood. These range from recreation facilities such as Richcraft Kanata Complex, the Canadian Tire Centre, and the Amberwood Village Golf & Country Club to dog parks, walking trails, stores, restaurants, and shopping. Westwood is a quick drive from the Kanata Centrum and Tanger Outlet Mall. Also, new homeowners will have plenty of elementary and secondary school options to weigh when the time is right. Even better, there’s a library nearby where they can spend some quality time reading and learning.

]]>When selling a property, there’s just one chance to make a great first impression. More often than not, that first impression is based on the visual building marketing collateral and can really make a listing stand out. If the real estate photography doesn’t impress homebuyers from the jump, it’s likely they won’t step foot inside the home for a showing. With 95% of homebuyers finding their dream home online, it’s imperative that realtors use professional real estate photography for all their real estate listings.
Think about the buying process from the homebuyer’s perspective. Most houses for sale in Ottawa are now first seen online via platforms like MLS or Realtor.ca. On these platforms, homebuyer’s start their search by filtering for price and location, then dive deeper by viewing the available photos. If the listing does not have professional photography, you can bet they will move onto to the next property before even reading the description.
These missed opportunities of potential buyers skipping on a property can be solved by providing professional photography that accurately represents the space. And when paired with a 3D virtual tour, homebuyers will understand the space better, making them more qualified once they reach out.
The real estate industry in Ottawa has adapted to include rich media in their listings all to present the property in its best light. With professional photography, the property can be viewed over and over no matter the time of day, generating more interest and ultimately, more in-person showings.
As a professional real estate photography company in Ottawa, we believe real estate photography is essential for listing homes for sale in Ottawa. Listings that have stunning photography are more likely to attract in-person viewings, be sold faster, and for the best price.
Real estate photography sets clear expectations
Real estate photography is the cornerstone of real estate marketing. After the asking price, it is the first thing potential buyers see on a listing. Clear, sharp, and beautiful photos engage homebuyers and present property in their best light. This sets the homebuyers expectations and hopefully matches what they’re looking for. Using quality HDR Photography, realtors can be assured that they always get great interior and exterior images adding flair to any listing.
Homebuyers look for photos
If you’ve ever been in the market to purchase a home, you know how big an impact photos make on your decision. While a description is nice, most want to see high-quality, recent photos. This helps to evaluate a property and determine if it fits their needs, what work it may need, and if it will fit their budget. Not every home may have a pleasing aesthetic but some homebuyers aren’t looking for already-done projects and are looking to take on a fixer-upper of their own.
Great photos speed up your sales process
Professional real estate photography helps realtors sell more homes faster and for top dollar. In a competitive market, having quality marketing material speeds up the sales process and if done properly, can assist brokerages to move more homes than ever before. This is because professional real estate photography helps win more listings. When someone that is looking to sell their home and sees a team using Point3D for the best real estate photography, they will be more inclined to list with them because they know the photography is going to be incredible.

We have joined EOLO in order to connect with businesses and people that work in our field so that we can share our knowledge and learn from others.
What does EOLO do?
EOLO is an organization of the owners and managers of more than 40,000 buildings across the Ottawa area. It keeps its members educated on changes to regulations in the housing market and industry. Members also regularly exchange information about best practices and maintaining the highest possible level of practice.
Associate Membership
Point3D is an associate member, meaning we are not Landlords in the association but work with them to maintain and market their buildings. Some notable Landlord members we work with include Gemstone Developments, District Realty, and Minto. See the whole list here.
We help these companies with creating marketing collateral for their unit types and buildings. With sharp photos, immersive 3D Tours, and accurate floorplans, rental agents have all the tools they need to efficiently show space virtually.
