Digital transformation of real estate drives profitability

Press Release – London 14th November 2024 – Following the October budget, estate agents across the UK are seeking new ways to adapt to an evolving property market. Rising costs and shifting buyer expectations have driven a need for efficient, cost-effective technology that meets demand while reducing operational strain. Made Snappy 360, a leading provider of virtual tour and floor plan solutions, is helping agents achieve these goals with an innovative tool that simplifies property marketing.

The Drive Towards Efficiency

Amid economic pressures, agents are increasingly adopting technology to streamline processes, save time, and focus resources where they matter most. Made Snappy 360’s solution is part of this wave, offering a combined virtual tour and floor plan tool that requires no manual measuring or complex software. By simply using a 360 camera, agents can create high-quality, immersive tours and accurate floor plans in under 10 minutes, empowering them to meet buyer needs without spending hours on property documentation.

Meeting Modern Buyer Expectations

Today’s buyers are tech-savvy and expect instant access to comprehensive property details. Virtual tours and floor plans provide them with the ability to explore properties remotely, often before deciding to visit in person. By implementing tools like Made Snappy 360, estate agents can offer this experience while attracting higher-quality leads who are more likely to proceed to viewings. This approach not only improves buyer satisfaction but also reduces the time agents spend on viewings for buyers who are less committed.

Quote from a Mark McCorrie, CEO at Made Snappy 360:

“The October budget has underscored the importance of efficiency in today’s property market. Estate agents are under pressure to reduce costs and streamline their operations, and we’re proud to offer a solution that helps them achieve this. Our solution creates virtual tours and floor plans effortlessly, enabling agents to meet market demands without time-consuming, manual processes.”

As agents explore ways to stay competitive and resilient in a dynamic market, adopting efficient, user-friendly technologies like Made Snappy 360’s all-in-one solution could be the key to meeting both economic and buyer expectations. By simplifying property marketing, estate agents can continue delivering high-quality service while optimising their resources for a demanding landscape.
