In today’s competitive rental market, real estate professionals need more than great photos to stand out—they need immersive experiences. 🎥 That’s where virtual tours come in.
If you’re using AppFolio, the process of adding 360° tours, video walkthroughs, and interactive media is simple—but extremely powerful when done right. 💪
This quick guide walks you through everything you need to know to upload virtual tours to AppFolio, optimize for engagement, and scale your workflow for dozens (or hundreds) of listings. 🚀
