Gryd.com is changing the way you look for a Winnipeg apartment for rent.
The days of heading all the way to a property just to realize it isn’t for you are gone, while exploring a suite without leaving your bedroom is the future of the rental industry. With Gryd.com‘s upcoming virtual reality technology, we’re taking the hassle out of finding a great Winnipeg apartment for rent.

Search – Virtual Reality for Renters and Buyers
Virtual reality isn’t just for playing video games and watching movies (although they’re both extremely fun and entertaining), it also has many practical applications. That’s where Gryd’s president and founder, Jordan Billinkoff, saw an opportunity. People want new information fast, and they don’t want to go out of their way to get it.
Case and point – finding an apartment.
It’s aggravating to have to get up and drive all the way to an apartment that you may or may not like. Virtual reality eliminates that frustration and replaces it with efficiency.
Pretty soon, Gryd.com will incorporate it’s virtual reality technology to many of the listings on the platform, allowing potential renters to explore a space without having to go to the physical property. And the best part is, you won’t have to break the bank to experience it. In fact, it’s all done from your smart phone.
In the coming months, Gryd will offer a cardboard virtual reality headset for under $10. All you do is place your phone into the headset, and you’re ready to explore. It’s that simple.
Marketing – Virtual Reality for Property Managers and Sellers
Virtual Reality doesn’t just benefit renters, though. It’s also in a property manager’s best interest to embrace this new technology.
Dead-end leads mean wasted hours scheduling tours with nothing to show for them, especially for property managers. Luckily, virtual reality eliminates the burden of having to show potential renters around a space without them knowing if they’ll like it or not.
The new virtual reality technology will allow potential renters to explore the space on their own, which will give them a good idea of what the physical property is like, and subsequently generate more qualified leads.
The same goes for sellers. Some real estate agents may view virtual reality as a threat, but it’s actually the opposite.
There will always be a need for real estate agents. The function of virtual reality in both the real estate and rental industries is to generate genuine and informed interest in a property.
