Founder-led · Built in South Africa

We’re engineering the future of South African property media.

Built inside the market it serves. Engineered for the agent selling at the top of it. Delivered same day, every day.

Origin

The bottleneck.

The epiphany.

The engine.

Three beats. One thesis: the agent at the top of the market deserves a third option.

01 · The catalyst

The bottleneck.

For years, the only way to get a listing video that did justice to a R5M+ property was to commission a R5,000+ per-tour bespoke shoot, then wait three to six days for the edit.

Everything cheaper looked like an estate agent's iPhone walkthrough. There was no middle.

Property has been a fixture in our family for as long as I can remember: relatives buying, selling, letting, building. The frustration was a constant at the dinner table long before it was a market I worked in. Stepping in as COO of Roomify put me inside it day to day, and the same frustration was waiting there too.

02 · The shift

The epiphany.

Property marketing wasn't a real estate problem. It was an engineering one.

The pieces existed; nobody had assembled them for the specific way South African listings actually sell: the portals, the WhatsApp share, the buyer scrolling at 10pm on a Tuesday.

We didn't want a faster editor. We wanted to retire the media agency for the agent who runs ten listings a month, not ten a year.

03 · The build

The engine.

So we built one. RealTours is a purpose-built media engine that turns a listing link or a folder of photos into narrated, broadcast-grade tours and portal-ready images.

Same day. Watermark-free. Priced so it runs on every listing on your roll, not just the trophy ones.

The tool we wished we had, engineered in South Africa to meet the production standards of any market.

“Cinematic shouldn’t be a luxury reserved for the trophy listing. It should be the floor.”

Wandile Sibisi is a two-time South African founder. Before RealTours, he co-founded RareStep, a luxury sneaker and streetwear marketplace covered by Forbes Africa, News24 and Radio 702’s The Money Show, among others. He currently serves as Co-founder and COO of Roomify, a South African prop-tech platform with active homeowner partnerships across the country, converting underutilised residential properties into managed co-living portfolios. The work puts him deep inside the South African residential property market every day.

RealTours is the company he is now building full-time alongside Roomify. Engineered in South Africa, designed to meet the production standards of any market. The thesis is simple: the agent selling at the top of the market deserves a third option between a R5,000+ per-tour bespoke shoot and an iPhone walkthrough. RealTours is it.

The operating doctrine

Four commitments RealTours is engineered around, and the ones the team will not compromise on.

Zero friction.

Listings decay the longer they sit unpublished. Our engine turns it around the same day, so you're first to the portal and first to the inbox.

Broadcast-grade, always.

Every render, every voice, every staged room is built to look indistinguishable from top-tier human production.

Built for volume.

From an independent agent to a national agency, the engine is engineered to carry your entire roll, not just the listings you have time to fuss over.

Same-day, every day.

Submit any time, day or night, and see it land the same day. The promise sits at the top of the funnel and at the bottom.

Our mission

“To make broadcast-grade property storytelling the new floor for South African real estate, not the ceiling.”

Stop managing media. Start closing deals.

Submit one listing. See it back the same day, broadcast-grade, ready for every portal you publish to.
