How To Ensure your potential tenants show up for showings

[Shawnda Beckstedt]

Hello! Seeking advice on  how you structure showings with potential tenants. This week I have had 2 properties to show and instead of zipping over there multiple times to show it we made 2 group showing times for each property.  I also stated that we require a confirmation text 30 min. prior to verify that they still plan to come.  Well over half have neither cancelled ahead of time, texted or showed up.  When contacted after the fact they have had all sorts of reasons why- interestingly enough mostly all were emergencies where they all were at the ER...I don't buy it and it's incredibly frustrating and very wasteful of my time and resources. How do YOU set up and verify your showings? What have you found that has worked well? TIA!
