There's nothing quite like being ghosted by a prospective tenant. One minute you're scheduling showings and going out of your way to the property. Next, you're driving away from another no-show while Simon and Garfunkel's The Sounds of Silence plays in the background.
Sound familiar? If you're a property manager tired of last-minute drop-offs, it's time to put your calendar to work.
Here's how to use Tenant Turner to get more property tours on the calendar—without being ghosted.
Tip 1: Let Self-Showings Do the Work
We may not be living on the moon quite yet, but technology has made it easy to put your property showings on autopilot. With tenant scheduling software, you can set it up so that renters schedule their own property tours, no assistance needed.
If prospective tenants need a last-minute change? They can adjust times in just a few clicks, keeping your showings calendar updated and current.
Tip 2: Verify Tenants Beforehand Let Self-Showings Do the Work
Our automated system takes prospects through the entire scheduling process, verifying their identity, ensuring they meet your rental requirements, and providing them with the information needed to view the homes via a lockbox.
Simply put, unqualified and uninterested renters are weeded out, reducing the chances of no-shows and wasted time.
Tip 3: Save a Trip, Use a Lockbox
We know what you're thinking: A lockbox? So now I'm trading the stress of no-shows for the stress of knowing random strangers are alone on my property?
It may oddly specific, but we've been there. Truth is, virtual tours are becoming more common, and it's easy to see why. Self-led property tours are safe, fast, and convenient for both tenants and landlords. And with no more need to coordinate schedules, it's suddenly a lot easier to fill up your calendar.
So, is it safe?
Absolutely. Every renter who shows interest in your property must meet your rental requirements and provide a government-issued ID before they're able to schedule.
Plus, we take extra measures, like third-party fraud detection, to ensure that only qualified renters are accessing your property.
Tip 4: Organize Your Schedule
Our platform makes it easy for you to see all of your upcoming viewings and their statuses, all in one place. Plus, avoiding scheduling conflicts is a breeze with calendar integrations like Google or Microsoft.
Everything is neat and tidy, just the way it should be.
Tip 5: Confirm Appointments Automatically
Did you know Tenant Turner can alert you if a prospective tenant fails to confirm their appointment? This little tip gives property managers the chance to send a follow up or touch base with the renter, avoiding a no-show situation entirely.
It works almost like magic.
