Naked Cyclists And Knowing Who’s In Charge: What You Miss When You Can’t Tour An Asset  

Virtual tours of real estate assets have come on leaps and bounds in recent years, and the limits to mobility imposed by lockdowns in the U.S. and UK have increased their adoption dramatically. 

But there are some things a virtual tour can never re-create: Commercial property is a uniquely diverse sector where no two assets are the same.
