Hopscotch Interactive started in 2015 when founder Emily Olman's family was selling a property in Windsor, California. Having become familiar with Matterport 3D photography from her experience at a property technology start-up, Olman insisted on using a Matterport 3D tour to help market the property. It sold in a matter of days, and agents from all over the region wanted to know how to reach the photographer who had done the virtual tour. Through this experience, Hopscotch Interactive was born.
In the years since Hopscotch Interactive was founded, the company has taken the team around the world to explore innovative ways that 360° photography and virtual tours can enhance property marketing. We have partnered with numerous photographers and satisfied clients both in the U.S., abroad, and across the country. No matter what kind of space you need to shoot, we can answer your questions and provide you with the expertise you need to get the job done. Relationships and quality matter the most to us, and our repeat customers are proof that this dedication to delivering above-and-beyond on every shoot is what will continue to set us apart now and into the future.
