No shows

[Robert Curls]

I recently advertised a home I have for rent in Clearwater, a great 2/2 with updated kitchen and baths, a really nice property. Just lie the last several times I've lists I had a lot of demand to see it. So I thought, rather than going back and forth I'd set all of the appointments for the same 30 min window and have an open house. Of the 5 people who said they would be here. Not one showed up. I haven't had this issue in the past when booking individual appointments. What have others experienced in the open house style showing of rentals?

i typically call right before I leave if it is one showing.  I tell them when i set it up that i will call to confirm and if I don't have confirmation, I won't show up.

i also try to do showings 15 minutes apart with multiple possible tenants. that way if one doesn't show, I'm not wasting a trip and I only have to wait 15 minutes.
