Over 600 agents streamline operations with virtual tours provided by trusted premier industry supplier

The UK property market is experiencing a significant transformation, with estate agencies increasingly adopting virtual tour technology to streamline the sales process and reduce operational costs. Made Snappy 360, a leading provider of virtual tours and floor plans, is at the forefront of this shift, offering an innovative solution that allows estate agents to create comprehensive virtual property tours with just one image per room using a 360 camera.

With over 600 estate agents across the UK now utilising Made Snappy 360’s services, the benefits of this cutting-edge technology are clear. Recent data reveals that properties listed with virtual tours sell up to 31% faster than those without, according to research from Matterport. Furthermore, a study by Zillow indicates that listings featuring virtual tours receive 50% more views compared to those without.

Virtual tours are not only enhancing the visibility of property listings but are also proving to be a cost-effective solution for estate agencies. Traditional property viewings can be time-consuming and resource-intensive, often requiring multiple visits before a sale is secured. By offering virtual tours, agencies can reduce the number of physical viewings needed, leading to significant savings in both time and money.

Made Snappy 360’s technology makes it easier than ever for estate agents to create engaging virtual tours. With the ability to generate a full virtual tour and floor plan from just one image per room using a 360 camera, agents can quickly and efficiently showcase properties to potential buyers. This streamlined process not only reduces the time agents spend on-site but also ensures that listings go live faster, further accelerating the sales process.

“At Made Snappy 360, we’re committed to empowering estate agents with the tools they need to succeed in a competitive market,” said Mark McCorrie, CEO at Made Snappy 360. “Our technology is designed to save time and money while providing a superior service to both agents and buyers. With over 600 agents across the UK already on board, we’re proud to be leading the way in this digital revolution.”

To experience the benefits of virtual tours first hand, Made Snappy 360 offers an 8-week no-obligation trial for businesses. This trial allows estate agents to see the advantages of their technology in real-time, helping them make informed decisions about integrating virtual tours into their operations.

Made Snappy 360 is also enhancing its service offerings by integrating with leading CRM systems through a new partnership with the PropTech company GlueDog. Apex27, the first major CRM to integrate with Made Snappy 360, is already benefiting from this seamless integration, with more CRM systems expected to follow suit in the near future. This collaboration streamlines the process of managing property listings and virtual tours, further simplifying, and improving the efficiency of estate agency operations.
