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.

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.

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.
