Why estate and letting agents must embrace innovative technology in 2025  

As we step into 2025, the UK property market continues to shift, and estate agents face mounting pressure to meet the evolving expectations of buyers and sellers. The days when static images sufficed are long gone; now, clients demand immersive experiences that go beyond the traditional listing. Agents who adapt to this landscape are turning to cutting-edge services like Made Snappy 360, a platform that effortlessly delivers virtual tours and floor plans for estate agents – ensuring listings stand out in an increasingly competitive field.

Meeting the Demands of the Modern Buyer

Potential buyers want to visualise their future home from the comfort of their living room. This is where interactive and innovative property technology steps in. By offering a fully interactive 360 virtual tour, estate agents provide a viewing experience that mimics walking through the property’s rooms, halls, and gardens in real time. This immersive approach encourages genuine interest, captures priority prospects, and streamlines the entire home-buying journey.

The Importance of Floor Plans

Detailed, easy-to-read floor plans are essential to modern property marketing. In fact, research suggests that listings featuring professional floor plans see more engagement than those without. With Made Snappy 360, producing high-quality floor plans is no longer a tedious process – agents can create them in a matter of minutes, accurately capturing every room’s dimensions and layout.
