Self showings of properties w/o management present... Thoughts?

[Karen Higgins]

As we are looking at ways to improve our efficiencies and decrease vacancies, the topic of self scheduled showings is on the table. What are your thoughts?  Do you think the "risk" is worth it?  Does anyone have recommended vendors?  I'm looking at Codebox, as we use Appfolio and this is their preferred partner that integrates with the software, but from what I can see, the applicant only needs to enter a guestcacd with their name, email, and phone number.  I've heard of others that require a picture of photo ID uploaded.  Does anyone know what company that might be?

I'd love any first hand knowledge and experience in this area before we jump in.  Thanks for any input you can provide!
