Apartment self-touring took off in the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic, but years after the pandemic, self-touring remains extremely popular for prospects and operators alike, which spurred us to lead the recent Series B funding round for Tour24. Tour24 sets the bar when it comes to self-touring technologies, enabling prospective residents to schedule and enjoy a curated tour of vacant units and amenity spaces, with pre-recorded audio about specific property elements. In addition to enhancing the touring experience, Tour24’s technology is designed to improve the leasing process for multifamily owners-operators, helping to optimize operational efficiency — getting units filled faster — and reduce related costs. Congratulations to Tour24 Founder and CEO Georgianna W. Oliver and the entire Tour24 team! Learn more about our investment in Tour24: https://lnkd.in/gyEE5rB5

Technology focused on centralizing operations is a growing priority for multifamily operators looking to cut costs and boost efficiency.

The platform also enables owners to track key metrics like turn time, budget use, and potential future spend across their portfolios. SuiteSpot has already seen significant traction and is tracking to be deployed across over 500,000 rental units, solidifying it as a key solution for operators looking to boost NOI.
