Property Managers can take advantage of storing all vacancy information in one location (AppFolio) while leveraging the power of YouTube, the recognized leader in online video storage and distribution.
The new YouTube Video Tour feature is tremendous. Im so impressed with the way we can feature the video tour when we send our ads to Craigslist, something we’ve struggled with in the past, said Todd Breen, President of Home Property Management in Florida. We’ve been marketing our properties with video tours since 2005 and more and more homeowners are listing with us because of this cutting edge marketing technique. Were thrilled it is now included with all of our AppFolio listings.
