Adding a 3D Tour Link to AppFolio: A Must for Modern Property Managers 🏘️💡

As the rental market becomes increasingly digital, modern property managers must evolve to meet the expectations of today’s renters. One of the most effective and high-impact upgrades you can make to your property listings is adding a 3D virtual tour link directly to your AppFolio listings. 🚀

Why? Because 3D tours don't just showcase space—they sell it. Let’s walk through exactly how to do it, why it matters, and how to leverage CloudPano to make it happen seamlessly.

Why 3D Tours Are Essential in 2025 📲

Renters today want more than just photos—they want the experience of being there. 3D virtual tours allow prospects to “walk through” a space anytime, anywhere.

🔹 Save time by pre-qualifying leads
🔹 Reduce in-person showings by 50% or more
🔹 Increase engagement and listing time-on-page
🔹 Perfect for out-of-state or relocating renters
