With the real estate industry adapting to virtual tours and live open houses, it’s not a surprise that agents around the world are diving in to get a taste of it too. Real estate viewings in the virtual world have been gaining momentum and seem to be progressing with an amazing pace.
From those who own small real estate businesses to the who’s-who of the sector, everyone is flocking to social media to kickstart their profession or expand it by means of virtual real estate viewings.
Like everything else in our lives, the pandemic has impacted the construction and real estate industry in a wide variety of ways.

Realtors have been churning out one virtual tour after another to attract buyers from all over the world. This kind of reach has further multiplied their chances of getting a good client base.
