Showing properties to potential buyers and renters has traditionally been done through in-person tours, where a real estate agent or property manager leads the prospective buyer or renter through the property.

However, with the advent of technology, virtual methods of showcasing properties have become increasingly popular.

Virtual methods of showcasing properties include:

Virtual tours: Virtual tours allow potential buyers and renters to view the property remotely using a computer or mobile device. This can be done through video tours, 360-degree tours, or interactive floor plans.

Online listings: Online listings allow potential buyers and renters to view properties from the comfort of their own home through photos, videos, and descriptions.

Virtual reality (VR) and Augmented reality (AR): These technologies can be used to create immersive virtual tours and visualisation of properties, which can be viewed through a VR headset or mobile device.

Virtual methods offer convenience, flexibility and a more immersive experience over Traditional methods od showcasing properties.
