If you're a property manager using AppFolio, you're already one step ahead in the world of rental listings. But if you're not using virtual tours, you're leaving money—and time—on the table. 🎥💰
Virtual tours are no longer just a “nice-to-have.” In 2025, they’re a must-have tool to boost engagement, reduce vacancy, and sign leases faster. Let’s break down exactly why virtual tours matter in AppFolio—and how to start using them right now.
A virtual tour allows a prospective tenant to “walk through” a unit online—using 360° imagery or AI-powered cinematic video. Instead of relying on flat, static images, a virtual tour immerses the viewer in the space, showing depth, flow, and design.
🔄 Some tours are interactive (360 spins), while others feel like a smooth, dynamic walkthrough video.

AppFolio already helps organize your listings—when paired with a visual, immersive tour, you instantly grab attention and hold it.
