Remote Leasing Starts With a 3D Tour
Eight in ten renters want to explore apartments virtually on their own (Apartments.com, 2025). For out-of-state relocations, military transfers, and renters who value their time, Matterport 3D tours are the difference between scheduling a tour and scrolling past your listing. 72% of renters say they would lease sight-unseen if a 3D tour was available (Zumper/Matterport).
Shoot2Sell captures Matterport 3D tours for apartment communities — unit walkthroughs, amenity spaces, leasing offices, and common areas. Each tour is interactive and self-guided, letting prospects navigate room to room, switch to Dollhouse and Floor Plan views, and even measure dimensions. Tours embed directly into Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals, your property website, and email campaigns.
Why 3D Tours Accelerate Apartment Leasing
80% of renters want to explore apartments virtually, on their own terms, without scheduling a tour (Apartments.com Renter Survey, 2025).
41% of renters would lease a unit sight-unseen if a Matterport 3D tour is available — remote leasing is no longer an edge case (Apartments.com, 2025).
Renters prefer listings with Matterport 3D tours over those without — the tour is the wedge between your community and the next one on their list.
Self-Guided Walkthroughs
Prospects explore at their own pace — zoom on finishes, check sight lines, navigate room to room. No scheduling, available 24/7.
Dollhouse & Floor Plan Views
Dollhouse view shows the full unit layout in 3D; Floor Plan mode adds top-down measurements — critical for renters comparing options remotely.
Amenity Space Scans
Scan fitness centers, clubhouses, leasing offices, and game rooms — show prospects the full community experience beyond just the unit.
Hosting & Usage Rights
Matterport hosts your tour free for 2 years — renew annually or transfer to your own account after. Usage rights never expire; use anywhere.

Complete Your Virtual Leasing Package
Virtual staging digitally adds furniture, decor, and styling to photos of empty rooms allowing viewers to visualize how the space can look. All at a fraction of the price to physically staging or building it. Staged + unstaged pairs delivered.
Remote Leasing Is Mainstream
Nearly 1 in 5 renters now skip in-person tours entirely (Zillow, 2024). The typical renter takes just one physical tour during their entire search — down from five or more just six years ago. Matterport 3D tours have replaced the "drive-by" for a growing share of your prospects.
For leasing teams, 3D tours mean fewer no-shows, more qualified walk-ins, and faster lease-ups. Prospects who've already explored a unit in 3D arrive ready to sign — they know the layout, the finishes, and the space. This is especially valuable for out-of-state relocations, corporate housing, and military transfers where in-person visits are impractical.
Apartments.com now offers Matterport integration for Platinum and Diamond packages, with expanded Matterport Max support for Diamond clients. Adding 3D tours to your listing puts you ahead of communities still relying on static photos alone.

Apartment 3D Tour FAQs
1What is a Matterport 3D tour for apartments?
A Matterport 3D tour is an interactive, self-guided virtual walkthrough that lets renters explore your units and amenity spaces from any device. Prospects can navigate room to room, look around in 360 degrees, and view Dollhouse and Floor Plan modes — all without scheduling an in-person visit. Our Premium Pro2 tours also include measurement tools for checking room dimensions. Standard tours use a 360 camera for an excellent visual experience at a lower price point. Tours are hosted on Matterport's cloud and embed directly into ILS platforms and your property website.
2How many units should we scan?
Most communities scan one model of each unique floor plan — studio, 1-bed, 2-bed, 3-bed, etc. For communities with significant layout variations at the same bedroom count, additional scans ensure prospects see exact layouts. We also recommend scanning your leasing office, fitness center, clubhouse, and any standout amenity spaces to give the full community experience.
3Can 3D tours really help renters lease sight-unseen?
Yes — 72% of renters say they would lease an apartment without an in-person visit if a 3D virtual tour was available (Zumper/Matterport, 2020). For out-of-state relocations, military transfers, and remote-first renters, 3D tours eliminate the need for expensive preview trips. Apartments.com reports that over 4 in 10 renters say an on-site tour is not a necessity when 3D tours are available (2025).
4Do 3D tours work on Apartments.com and other ILS platforms?
Yes — Matterport tours embed directly into Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals, and most ILS platforms. Apartments.com offers Matterport integration for Platinum and Diamond ad packages, and expanded Matterport Max support for Diamond clients. Tours also embed on your property website, email campaigns, and social media via shareable links.
5Can you scan amenity spaces and common areas?
Absolutely — amenity scans are some of the highest-engagement content for multifamily. We scan fitness centers, clubhouses, leasing offices, pool areas, rooftop terraces, business centers, game rooms, dog parks, and any indoor/covered space. Outdoor open-air areas (pools, courtyards) work best with supplemental photography rather than 3D scanning.
6How quickly are 3D tours published?
Matterport 3D tours are typically published within 24 hours of the scan. Tours are hosted on Matterport's cloud and delivered as shareable links and embed codes. You can embed tours on your property website, ILS platforms, and email campaigns immediately after publication.
7How much do apartment 3D tours cost?
Pricing scales with the number and size of spaces scanned. A single unit scan starts at our base rate; multi-unit packages cover communities scanning multiple floor-plan types and amenity spaces. See the pricing section on this page for current rates. Multi-property portfolio deals can be discussed by phone.
