How to Implement Property Video Tours

No matter what kind of properties or units you manage, one of the best ways to sell potential applicants on a unit is by showing them the actual unit in question. A tour of the property and the specific unit can be very helpful in making a decision to rent out a space, but it can be difficult to carry out in-person tours for all applicants. Some people might not be local to the area, and your property managers have busy schedules, making it challenging to always find the time. Luckily, with online property management software, it’s easy to connect in-depth video tours to your units, allowing potential applicants to have a full rundown of the specific units, from anywhere in the world!

Recording Video Tours

Property Matrix currently offers direct integrations with two 360 degree video tour companies, Matterport and Ricoh360. With either option, once you set up a camera with their app and website, you can record a video tour of all of your units. These video tours include actual images of the spaces in 3D, allowing the viewer to have a 360 degree view of every room and area in the unit. These tours can also include floorplans and floor measurements, all directly accessible through the tour itself. You can even create highlights for different areas, which can then be given their own name and made to be easily searchable through the tour. However you choose to create and implement these video tours, online property management software makes it easy to connect and share!

Video Tour Utility

Speaking of sharing these video tours, online property management software allows you to natively connect these tours directly to your units within the system. This way, you can view the tours right through the online property management software, allowing you to see it just as any potential applicants do. This way, if there are any problems or changes you want to make, it’s easy to see where the issues lie, and by walking through the tour yourself, it might help you adjust amenities or the description of the unit to update all of your property and unit information! Having the tour on your side of the system is definitely helpful in regards to setting it up and comparing your previous information, but the real point of these video tours is sharing it with people who are interested in your units! When you connect a video tour to a unit within the system, the tour will automatically be put on the specific unit page on the connected building website! This way, anyone browsing your property’s page can see the tour right next to all the other information of the unit!

Video Tour Usage

By having 360 degree video tours set up for all of your units, you can have a way to quickly see a walkthrough of the exact units that you manage. This can be great for being able to see the specifics of your units for you and your team (especially if you have a lot of units that you manage!) as well as having potential applicants being able to walk through the units themselves to get a better understanding of what they’re working with. In both cases, having these video tours provides much needed information and context to the units and properties that you are working with, and connects the discussion of amenities and descriptions with the reality of the units! Here at Property Matrix, we know how important it is to be able to see what you’re looking at before going forward, especially with something as important as renting out a place to work or live!
