Looking to turn more clicks into signed leases? 🔥 If you're a property manager or real estate pro using AppFolio, there's one simple upgrade that can dramatically improve engagement: 360° virtual tours. These immersive experiences let renters explore units anytime, anywhere—building trust, reducing no-shows, and shortening vacancy cycles.
In this post, we’ll show you step-by-step how to add virtual tours to your AppFolio listings, why they work so well, and which tools (like CloudPano) can help you get started in minutes. 📈
Let’s face it—today’s renters expect more. Static photos are no longer enough. A dynamic, interactive experience keeps your listings competitive and positions your brand as tech-forward. 💼
