Virtual Tour: Property listing and inquiry operations

Virtual Tour matters only if the evidence supports a paid workflow around keeping property listings, availability, and inquiries accurate, not a list of isolated fixes. The current commercial thesis is: Property sites lose leads when listings, availability, media, or inquiry routing drift out of date. The entry wedge is to audit listing completeness, inquiry routing, stale properties, and lead handoffs for property sites.
