The PropTech sector is booming, with innovations like virtual tours, augmented reality, and blockchain changing the way we buy, sell, and manage properties.

I went and toured Rochester Homes this weekend to take a look at their factory and process.

I have been meaning to take a tour there!  

Zillow seems to promote listings more that have 3D tours.4.

I have toured 3 houses, ran numbers on what I think it will cost to renovate, and what I think the after repair value will be.

So if I want to take a tour of another one of their foreclosed houses for sale, I just use the key from a previous house I bought from them.  

Years (well, decades now) ago I went on an open house tour. 

We'd run foodie tours, ceramics and woodworking workshops, maybe sunset cruises...but since Dad died at 63 and Mom died at 57, I'm not sure I'll make it that long.

Differs i imagine depending on the jurisdiction however @Marcus Auerbach did a good job of outlining the key points.From a general standpoint i'd give a rough summary based on both sides.For Agents and Brokers Representing Sellers:Property Valuation: They assess the market value of the property, using comparative market analyses, to recommend a competitive listing price.Listing the Property: They manage the process of listing the property on multiple listing services (MLS) and other platforms, ensuring visibility to potential buyers.Marketing: This includes photographing the property, arranging virtual or physical tours, creating property descriptions, and advertising through various mediums such as online platforms, newspapers, and magazines.Negotiating Offers: Agents help sellers evaluate offers, provide guidance on terms, and negotiate prices and conditions.Paperwork and Transactions: They ensure all paperwork, including contracts, disclosures, and other essential documents, are completed correctly and in a timely manner.Closing Assistance: Agents guide sellers through the closing process, ensuring all requirements are met and the sale is finalized smoothly.For Agents and Brokers Representing Buyers:Understanding Buyer Needs: Agents work to understand the specific needs, preferences, and budget of buyers to help find suitable properties.Property Search: They use various tools, including MLS, to search for properties that match the buyer's criteria.Arranging Property Viewings: Agents schedule and accompany buyers on property tours, be it virtual or physical.Making Offers: Based on market analysis and the buyer's position, agents assist in making competitive offers on properties.Negotiation: Agents negotiate terms, price, and contingencies on behalf of the buyer.Paperwork and Transactions: They handle or facilitate all necessary paperwork and documentation, ensuring all elements of the purchase agreement are clear and in the buyer's best interest.Closing Assistance: They guide buyers through the closing process, from securing financing to finalizing the purchase.For Both Buyers and Sellers:Legal and Regulatory Guidance: Agents help clients understand legal and regulatory requirements related to property transactions.

I know it can still happen but the system I came up with to help with this fear was running my numbers extremely conservative to begin, if the property still was able to cash flow then It would be a potential purchase with next steps of touring in person to see it.
