Madelyn Felix Remote property access and cameras for self-guided tours?
20 November 2024 | 23 replies
@Madelyn Felix we used to use ShowingHero, but moved on from them to ShowMojo, due to ShowMojo offering keypads in addition to lockboxes.We've pretty much flipped to keypads as too many keys go missing from lockboxes or get locked inside the home.While ShowMojo offers a service for tenants to use their keypads after movein, we remove the keypads when a home is rented and transfer to next vacant property.PRO TIP: only use keyed deadbolts for occupied rentals!
