Short lets turn over constantly and long lets run for years. A 360 tour serves both, for different reasons, from the same capture.
Whether you value a rental virtual tour for filtering out less than serious prospects, for meeting high demand with few showing agents on staff, or for avoiding disruption to people currently living there, it earns its place before you consider anything else.
For property management and short and long term vacation rentals, the tour has largely taken the place of the initial walkthrough. It does the same filtering job, costs a fraction as much to produce, and makes an otherwise static listing something a prospective renter will spend real time inside.
With zInspector you take your own 360 photos while performing an inspection and reuse them to create a tour. It is a cost-effective way to get more out of the inspection time and equipment you have already committed to, particularly if those tools are already in the van.
The higher the turnover, the more times a single capture pays for itself. A vacation rental that changes occupants weekly gets marketing value from the tour and condition documentation from the same images, repeatedly, without anyone going back to shoot it again.
For the leasing-focused version of this, see the rental listing virtual tour.
Particularly well. Furnished properties are harder to describe in text and photographs, and a 360 walkthrough answers the layout questions guests actually have.
Whenever the property changes materially, which usually means after redecoration or a furniture change. Otherwise the capture from your last inspection remains current.
The images are captured within an inspection, so they sit in the property record with a date attached. That makes them useful well beyond the marketing period.
Shoot a rental in 360 on your next inspection and publish the tour from it.
