Many properties have started to offer virtual tour options for interested tenants. The virtual tour options vary from property to property, with some being as advanced as a tenant controlled 3D listing and floor-plan walkthroughs to something more simple like a prerecorded listing video. If the tenant is still interested in the property after viewing the virtual tour offerings, some properties are foregoing in-person showings all together and are scheduling face-to-face virtual listing walkthroughs using FaceTime, Zoom or Skype.
Agents using Rental Beast don’t have to worry about determining which properties have virtual tour capabilities. An agent can filter the Rental Beast database to find the properties that are allowing virtual tours and even filter for listings that have a virtual tour link. Find out how using the below guides:
