Virtual Tour Apartment Checklist – Before, During & After a Tour

Live Video Tour Checklist
Step 1: Visualize the Tour Path

Do you want to start your live tour from the leasing office then proceed to show them the clubhouse, outdoor amenities, and then on to the unit(s)? Or do you want to start the live tour from the unit itself? These are key considerations to think through first to ensure a smooth, cohesive tour experience.
Know how you plan to walk through the unit, what you will focus on and showcase, and how much time you’ll spend in each general area in order to keep the tour flowing.
Be mindful of the time you scheduled for the tour. Run through your agenda for the tour so you aren’t rushing at the end.

Step 2: Walk the Tour Path and Prep the Area

Are the spaces clean (just as they would be for an in-person tour)?
Are the lights on, toilet seats down, relevant doors open, and blinds adjusted?

Pro Tip: Depending on the weather or the time of year, you might want to have blinds tilted up or down to manage light flare. Don’t close them all the way though as you want natural light coming in to best capture the space. Any relevant doors you want open, go ahead and open them prior to starting the tour and prop them open if they self-close so that you’re not struggling to hold the device and open the door at the same time.
