Garnering Interest with Virtual Tours

Virtual tour software showcases available units online, giving an elevated remote experience for inquiring tenants. People are doing more research than ever and are more likely to schedule an in-person tour after a virtual tour than with a listing that leaves them with questions. This saves time for both parties and widens the property's reach beyond geographical limitations – a huge plus for potential renters moving a plane ride away.

Simplifying and Screening Tenant Applications

Digital application collection allows applicants to submit documents and information electronically. Integrated background check tools streamline the selection process and ensure a thorough assessment. With AAOA’s own tenant screening app, applicants can also pay a screening fee, and landlords receive notifications immediately to view completed credit and background checks. Tenants that are less tech-savvy or new to renting often fail to satisfy these requirements prior to in-person tours. While landlords prefer to hold firm, sometimes a gut feeling or an extended vacancy leads to letting their guard down. For that reason, this solution is very effective in tandem with tour-scheduling software, as it brings these requirements to their immediate attention and bars them from skirting this step before touring.
