In recent years, the multifamily industry has undergone a significant transformation due to the emergence of new technology. One such technology is virtual tours, which allow potential tenants to view a property without physically being there. The use of virtual tours has proven to be highly effective in increasing occupancy performance in the early stages of a property. In this blog post, we will explore how virtual tours have transformed the multifamily space.


First, let's define what virtual tours are. Virtual tours are interactive, 360-degree views of a property that can be accessed from a computer or mobile device. They allow potential tenants to take a virtual tour of an apartment or a community, exploring every room and amenity. With the help of virtual tours, potential tenants can get a feel for the property without physically being there, making it easier for them to decide whether or not to rent the space.


Virtual tours have several benefits that have helped increase occupancy performance in the early stages of a property. First and foremost, they save time and effort for both property managers and potential tenants. Property managers can give virtual tours to a large number of potential tenants simultaneously, without the need for individual appointments. This saves time and increases efficiency. Potential tenants, on the other hand, can take a virtual tour of a property at any time that is convenient for them, without the need to physically visit the property. This not only saves time but also helps reduce the number of no-shows.


Secondly, virtual tours allow potential tenants to view a property in greater detail. Traditional photos or videos can only show so much of a property, but virtual tours allow tenants to explore every nook and cranny. They can view the apartment or community from every angle, allowing them to get a better feel for the space. This level of detail helps potential tenants make informed decisions about whether or not to rent the space.


Lastly, virtual tours help properties stand out from the competition. In today's market, tenants have many options to choose from when it comes to renting an apartment. Virtual tours can help a property stand out from the crowd by providing a unique, immersive experience that potential tenants will remember. Properties that offer virtual tours are viewed as more modern and tech-savvy, which can be a selling point for younger renters.


In conclusion, virtual tours have transformed the multifamily space by increasing occupancy performance in the early stages of a property. They save time and effort for both property managers and potential tenants, allow tenants to view a property in greater detail, and help properties stand out from the competition. As technology continues to evolve, it's likely that virtual tours will become even more important in the multifamily industry.
