The real estate industry is undergoing a digital transformation, and virtual tours have emerged as a game-changer in property sales. With buyers increasingly relying on online property searches, 3D virtual tours, augmented reality (AR), and immersive experiences are redefining how real estate transactions happen. In 2025, the demand for interactive property viewing is higher than ever—making virtual tours an essential tool for builders, brokers, sole sellers, and real estate agents.
