As an SFR operator, you know how important marketing is to the success of your business. To stand out from the competition, your listings need to look top-notch.
After all, many renters start their search for rental homes online, and as many as 60 to 74% of renters use an online resource in their search at some point.
But creating listings that consistently drive traffic isn’t easy:
- Maybe you’re working with multiple vendors (e.g. photographers, marketers, and realtors), and it’s creating bottlenecks.
- Maybe you’re working with multiple platforms (e.g. rental listing websites, content management systems, and social media platforms), and integrating them all is a nightmare.
- Or maybe you’re expanding into new markets, and you can’t find local real estate photographers that meet your high standards.
Whatever it is, we get it. Marketing your listings at scale can be tough.
That’s why we created an all-in-one single-family rental photography system that can help take your business to the next level.
5 Ways Virtuance can enhance your single-family rental marketing
If you want to put your marketing on autopilot and leave behind the hassle of working with multiple vendors and platforms, you’ve come to the right place. Here are five ways Virtuance can help you succeed in the SFR market.
1. Rent out your SFRs faster and for more money
Listings that use our photos generate twice as many clicks.
How? We spent years studying what makes people click on listings and developed an automated image processing system called HDReal® that turns professional photos into sales machines.
Here’s how it works:
- You order your photo shoot and floor plans online 24/7 (or over the phone)
- We photograph your rental property
- We process the images through a series of 25 proprietary HDReal® algorithms powered by AI
- We review each image for quality and order them to generate the best results
- You get the final package by 5pm on the day after the shoot
It’s that easy.
HDReal® photos increase your listing views so that you can lease your SFR faster and showcase its true value so that you can lease it for more.
2. Bring your SFR listings to life
According to a survey report by Zumper and Matterport, 95% of renters would be more likely to rent a property with a 3D virtual tour on the listing site.
And according to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), properties with aerial images are 68% more likely to sell (and rent) than properties without aerial photography.
This is because people are shopping for rentals online more than ever before (partly due to COVID-19), and they want to have an immersive shopping experience from the comfort of their home.
That’s where we come in. Our services include Matterport 3D tours, Zillow 3D Home tours, aerial images/video, interactive floor plans, and more!
Whatever your visual content needs, we have you covered. We’ll make your listing stand out from the rest.
3. Get help whenever you need it
