AIR TOUR – What is it?

Traditionally students will take a 1 or even 2 day live “IN PERSON” touring trip to visit properties they are interested in. These touring trips can be cumbersome due to the extra time and cost needed to attend. Setting them up with multiple apartments can also take a lot of time and cause stress. Further, tours must often be scheduled around key breaks in their student calendar such as Spring Break, etc.

Current coronavirus concerns also have provided additional complications to in person touring, including restrictions on in-person touring times or availability in some cases. Currently, students are not allowed to “walk in” to do tours. They must be scheduled. In some cases, only phone calls to properties are allowed.

AIR TOUR from Homebase Services is a new free service for university hires that provides VIRTUAL & LIVE apartment touring experience via phone, computer or IPAD.   The service is facilitated using the patented ApartMinute service, also from Homebase.   Air Tour enables provides complete protection from coronavirus concerns for students. The service is now live in Houston, Dallas and Austin cities.
