81% of U.S. tenants use Virtual Tours as a resource when they are considering a rental property.
15% tour the property in-person.
Once you’ve spent an hour or less creating a virtual tour, you have essentially created a round-the-clock online Open House that buyers can conveniently experience from their home or office computer. Amazing, right?
If a tenant is interested in making an appointment, he or she can immediately click on your virtual tour button and instantly make a decision on your property without contacting you for an appointment. Amazing again! 
That said, a Virtual Tour isn’t a substitute for an actual walk through, but it can be an important opportunity for you to display your property the way you’d like.
When it comes to real estate – for sale or rentals – it really is all about great photos – so don’t get me wrong we are still staying YES it is all about the photos – but the old days of fancy and expensive virtual tours is gone.
