Virtual Showings

Renters in San Diego are still looking for apartments. There is a demand, and property owners need to be creative. Nobody wants to have a vacancy for an indefinite period, but the Coronavirus quarantine must be considered. There are ways to show an apartment safely.

Think Virtual

It helps that the Internet and social media are available. Landlords in San Diego can adhere to quarantine restrictions and still have showings of empty rentals. It is done with various types of remote technology and these are readily available.

The Value of Zoom

Skype, Zoom, and Google Hangout are tools that a landlord in San Diego can use for meetings with prospective tenants. Video clips can be used to show the apartment space and drones can film virtual tours of every room.

Professionals must be used for any visual content. Cameras in the hands of amateurs will not provide a useful presentation of the property. Cell phone cameras should never be used. A professional photographer will cost a bit extra, but an empty apartment will cost even more in the long run.

Observe Quarantine Protocols

The local procedures designed to keep folks safe must be observed. A landlord can show an apartment using video, but prospective tenants will ultimately want to pay a visit. That wish must be respected.

A property owner can do this by getting the place ready beforehand. Safety procedures for sanitizing the space must be prepared and followed before a scheduled visit. Tenants who still occupy the apartment must be told of the visit and what they need to do before the guest arrives. Some inconveniences may happen, but most residents understand this is because of the quarantines, and few take offense at having their apartment inspected.

A Lot of Work

The old-fashioned practice of just showing up at the apartment and opening the door is no longer the way to view it. The coronavirus has changed so much and a landlord must go with the flow. The technology used correctly can produce great results, but poorly executed filming causes a disaster. A landlord must know who to work with, and how to do it.

The quarantine requirements may be different from one town to another. Property owners must stay on top of any changes, and that is not always easy. Time is precious and must not be wasted. It makes sense to have a relationship with one of the property management companies in San Diego.

Property managers are experts at presenting available apartments. They know who the best photographers are and what would be the appropriate way of showing the property. Property managers in San Diego also have to stay current with coronavirus restrictions. Alta Vista Properties is a property management company in San Diego that knows how to show an available living space.
