In today’s fast-paced rental market, prospective tenants want instant access to listings they can trust — and 360° virtual tours are the key 🔑 to giving them a real, immersive experience. If you're using AppFolio for property management, you're in luck. AppFolio makes it simple to embed these interactive experiences directly into your listings. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to showcase 360 virtual tours inside AppFolio — effortlessly and professionally. 🎥🏠
Before we get into the technical how-to, let’s talk about why this even matters.
