For decades, a leasing team’s primary goal has been to get prospective renters to sign a lease, usually through a conventional in-person tour of the community. However, over the past few years, how leasing teams engage with and tour prospects has changed significantly and now includes an experience that encompasses a variety of options, such as in-person, self-guided, or video tours.
With video technology being more commonplace these days, a leasing experience can look quite different for each prospect. And with the increasing variety of technology and touring options, a common confusion has emerged amongst these tools. From virtual or video tours, video experiences, video technology, pre-recorded video tours, 3D tours, 360 virtual tours, self-guided tours, and more, it’s easy to confuse one strategy. In multifamily, let’s get on the same page about what a virtual tour means and define other similar strategies.
