“With the option of a virtual walk through the potential domicile, customers can make more targeted choices in advance and save time and money. (…) The interested party can see the details of the property comfortably at home on the Internet and only comes to view the property if the property actually suits him in all points. This saves the seller from idle sightseeing tourism. “
