Looking to lease faster, attract better leads, and offer a premium digital experience for renters? By embedding Matterport 3D tours into your AppFolio listings, you can create immersive property walkthroughs that help prospective tenants feel like they’re already home — before ever stepping foot on-site. 🏡✨
This guide walks you through the full benefits, step-by-step process, automation strategies, and proven tips to maximize leasing results using Matterport + AppFolio.

Together, these two platforms give you a competitive edge:
✅ Higher Engagement: Listings with 3D tours average 300% more time spent
✅ Faster Leasing: Reduce site visits and close deals sooner
✅ Attract Remote Renters: Perfect for out-of-town tenants and relocations
✅ Elevated Experience: Make your listings stand out from the crowd

Here’s how you can add your virtual tour in just minutes:
Once your tour is complete, copy the public share link (e.g. https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=XXXX).
Navigate to your Properties tab and select the listing you'd like to update.
Paste your Matterport link into the “Virtual Tour” or “Media Link” section of the property listing.
💡 Pro Tip: For maximum visibility, also paste the tour link into the property description using a clear call-to-action like:
👉 “Take a 3D tour of this property: Click here”
