In today’s fast-moving rental market, the best listings don’t just get views—they get leases. And what do they all have in common? 🎯 3D virtual tours.
If you're listing on AppFolio without using 3D tours, you’re likely leaving money on the table and watching high-quality leads scroll right past your properties. Let's fix that. This guide shows why top-performing listings include virtual experiences—and how you can do it in minutes.
3D virtual tours give prospective renters a fully immersive experience—they can walk through the space, spin around, zoom in, and visualize themselves living there. Unlike a slideshow or photo gallery, a 3D tour gives them freedom to explore.
