New For 2026: Better Photos, Faster Leasing — No Added Cost

Beginning this month, ROOST will be partnering with PlanOmatic, a national leader in professional rental photography. Every new vacancy we list for you will now include professional, high-quality photos at no additional cost. This is a service upgrade we’re investing in to improve your leasing results and strengthen the long-term value of your portfolio.

Why We’re Doing This

This upgrade is part of our long-term commitment to continually improve your leasing performance and protect your income. Stronger marketing means faster lease-ups, higher-quality residents, and a more competitive position for your properties.

You’ll start to see these enhanced listings as your properties become available for rent in 2026. If you have any questions about how this works or whether floor plans or virtual tours make sense for your units, we’re happy to walk you through it.

What’s Included (No Extra Charge)

  • Professional  Photography – Every unit will receive a full set of professional real-estate photos — crisp, consistent, and designed to show your property at its best.
  • Faster Leasing + Better Applicants – High-quality photos attract more serious residents and reduce wasted showings, helping us cut vacancy days and improve your return.
  • Reusable Marketing Assets – Once a unit is shot professionally, we can reuse those photos for future turnovers as long as the condition remains consistent.

Optional Owner Upgrades

Some owners want to go even further, especially for premium rentals or larger multi-unit properties. For those who want enhanced marketing materials, PlanOmatic offers:

  • Detailed floor plans
  • 3D/virtual tours

If you’d like these upgrades, just let us know and we can provide pricing and coordinate everything for you.

Thank you for trusting us with your investments. Our success is only possible with your success, and this is what true partnership looks like.
