In-person touring

In-person touring is a scheduled visit where a prospective renter meets a leasing team member at the community and is guided through relevant apartments and amenities. It is distinct from self-guided or virtual touring because staff are present to greet the prospect, answer questions, and tailor the walkthrough. Operations teams typically manage in-person tours with defined touring hours, booking rules, and capacity limits.

A prospect books a 3:00 PM in-person tour for a two-bedroom apartment. When they arrive, a leasing associate greets them, verifies identification if required, walks them through the model unit and amenities, and answers questions about availability, pricing, and the application process.

In-person touring affects staffing, calendars, and leasing-team workload because each appointment may require an available agent and a defined time slot. It also gives teams a chance to personalize the experience, address concerns in real time, and create a strong first impression during a key decision point in the renter journey.
