Want to dig deeper into best practices? See NAR’s guidance on creating and assessing virtual tours: Virtual Tour Playbook.

Blockchain is emerging for secure document tracking and ownership records. It’s not standard in Orange County yet, but keep an eye on pilots—expect better transparency and fewer errors as the tech matures.
Buyers increasingly favor energy-efficient appliances, smart thermostats, EV chargers, and security systems. We’ll help you evaluate device ecosystems (HomeKit, Google, Alexa) and resale appeal for each neighborhood.
