BY ADAPTING TO RELOCATION PAIN POINTS, PROPERTY MANAGERS CAN MAKE THEIR PROPERTIES A SHOE-IN.
Keep in mind that not all relocators are able to visit their destination before move-in day. Virtual tours go a long way for them and family members. For relocators able to take a scouting trip, it’s completely unlike preparing for a local move with weeks or months to casually browse for a home. Desirable rentals don’t stay available long, thereby rendering advance tour scheduling hardly worth the effort. As a result, relocators usually get serious
with their listing search only a day or two before their trip. When they arrive, they can experience typical travel woes like exhaustion, jet lag, confusion with public transportation, etc. Modern solutions like self-tours and automated showing schedulers would make the process vastly easier, but have yet to become widely adopted.
Relocators face three major challenges:
Communicating efficiently with property managers
Scheduling multiple tours as quickly as possible within fixed dates
Structuring an agenda full of showings while considering travel times and proximity to other destinations

Planning a day of property tours in a new locale requires total focus, quick decision-making, and adaptation at every turn. It starts with reaching out to property managers.
