What It Is

CPG Tours is a real estate virtual showing and listing presentation tool from Cole Group, Inc. Its core goal is to help agents attract buyers with animated photos, captions, music, and concise property information. It can be used as a standalone listing website, embedded into an existing site, linked to MLS and other listing platforms, and exported as a video.

Core Features and Integrations

The product is built around marketing individual listings: users can generate custom Tour videos with animated photos, captions highlighting key selling points, and background music. Playback is optimized for both mobile and desktop. Listing pages can display property details, photo galleries, maps, and contact forms, and they also support embedding a 3D Tour directly on the page, reducing the need for buyers to jump to external sites. For third-party integrations, the available text only explicitly mentions website embedding, MLS/listing-site links, and 3D Tour embedding; it does not disclose specific platform-level integrations or an API.

Pricing and Trial

Pricing is fairly straightforward: the first Tour is free, with no credit card required. The Unlimited plan costs $15/month or $150/year, while a Single Tour costs $15/year. Unlimited accounts may not be shared by multiple agents, so the plan is better suited to an individual real estate agent rather than a multi-person team sharing one account.

Collaboration, Security, and Deployment

There is limited information about team collaboration features. The terms emphasize that accounts are for individual use, and we did not find features such as role-based permissions, team management, approvals, or a shared asset library. On security, the service states that it does not sell, rent, or trade personally identifiable information and uses reasonable security measures to protect data. However, it does not disclose enterprise-grade compliance details such as encryption mechanisms, backup strategy, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or GDPR. Deployment appears to be a cloud-hosted service, with no self-hosted option offered.

Pros, Cons, and Best Fit

Its strengths are a low learning curve, a strong focus on real estate use cases, and affordable pricing, making it suitable for individual real estate agents who want to quickly create more professional listing presentation pages. The main drawback is the lack of enterprise-grade capabilities: public information is missing for API access, developer support, team permissions, compliance certifications, and payment methods.

Access from China and Alternatives

Access from China cannot be determined from the available text, and payment methods are not disclosed. If targeting Chinese customers, real-world testing is still needed for access speed, form usability, and the payment flow. Alternatives to consider include Matterport, CloudPano, Kuula, Asteroom, and Zillow 3D Home. In China, users may also look at the Beike and Anjuke ecosystems or local panoramic property-viewing service providers.
