Streamlining Property Tours 3

The most time-consuming part of filling vacancies, and arguably the most difficult for landlords, is the scheduling and execution of in-person tours. It takes time to line up the availability of all parties, travel to the property and run the tour - all while running the risk that the potential tenant arrives late, doesn’t arrive at all, or fails to meet rental requirements after the fact. Self Tour technology, like InstaShow, advertises listings and allows renters to tour the property after they have passed background checks and submitted all the necessary documentation. This software eliminates the need to arrange a mutually available meeting time and gives renters the freedom and flexibility to tour vacancies when it is convenient. This alleviates countless pain points for renters, such as typical stop-start communication around scheduling, juggling work and personal schedules, and organizing background checks and application data on one platform. Once a user has their profile verified, they can schedule tours via the app within the listing’s parameters, notifying property managers immediately. The software then facilitates a secure and seamless experience with real-time identity verification before using Bluetooth technology to allow access to the property. The software tracks their experience as they walk through the unit and for added security, can pair with smart cameras to enable real time surveillance and 2-way communication.
