Casey Galloway - City 360 Tours
After spending a few years in real estate, I noticed a real need for better service and standout photos in my area. Photography, initially just a hobby, quickly turned into a passion for delivering incredible photos to my clients, all while providing top-notch customer service. Always on the lookout for ways to enhance their experience, I stumbled upon Matterport and other Digital Twins for my Residential Clients. But it didn't stop there – I saw the potential in the commercial side of Digital Twins and that's how City 360 Tours came to life!
At City 360 Tours, we're all about creating friendly virtual tours in different areas and weaving them together into these awesome citywide tours. We're just getting started, and we're always brainstorming fun and innovative ways to make our services even better and help our company grow. Exciting times ahead!
