Rental listing virtual tour

The showing you do not have to attend

A rental listing virtual tour earns its place for three different reasons, and most teams adopt it for one and keep it for the others. It weeds out prospective tenants who were never really going to take the unit. It lets you meet high demand when you do not have the showing agents to cover it. And it removes the disruption of walking strangers through an occupied property.

Since 2020 the tour has largely replaced the initial walkthrough for short and long term rentals alike. Not because it is a perfect substitute, but because it does the same filtering job at a fraction of the cost, and it makes a static listing something a renter will actually spend time inside.

Made from images you already captured

With zInspector you take your own 360 photos while performing a routine inspection, then reuse them to build a tour. There is no separate shoot, no tour company, and no per-listing fee. If you are already running 360 camera inspections, the marginal cost of the tour is close to nothing.

1. 01Capture on the inspectionPlace the 360 camera in the centre of each room, step out of shot, and trigger it from the app.
2. 02Keep the images attachedEach 360 stays linked to the room it documents, so it is doing inspection duty and marketing duty at once.
3. 03Build the tourAssemble the captured rooms into a walkable tour inside zInspector, no external editing tool involved.
4. 04Publish it with the listingAdd the tour to the advert and let renters qualify themselves before they contact you.

A second use for the same file

The images that made the listing tour are still inspection evidence. Months later, when a tenant queries the condition of something at move out, you have a full 360 of that room on the day the unit was marketed. Marketing asset and condition record are the same file.
