As the world becomes increasingly digitized with in-person interactions becoming less frequent, rental companies and landlords have had to shift how they show their apartment homes. While you can often find an array of photos, videos, and even virtual tours online, nothing beats the in-person experience of walking through the space itself. Enter, TourGuide, Irvine Company\u2019s self-guided tour app.<\/p>\n

\"TourGuide<\/a>What Are Self-Guided Apartment Tours?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Self-guided tours are quite different from traditional tours. With traditional tours, you have to get in contact with the leasing office, schedule a time that works for both parties, and then wait for them to unlock the unit and show you around. A self-guided tour removes the variables of waiting and instead allows you to select a time to tour and show yourself around while keeping in touch with the leasing agent via text.<\/p>\n
