Episode notes
Pre-Screen Prospects Before Scheduling
- Use a prescreening questionnaire to vet prospects before tours and sync self-scheduling with your agents' calendars. Collect credit, pet, and income info automatically to save time and reduce wasted showings.
Optimize Agent Time With Smart Scheduling
- Use self-scheduling for accompanied tours too to cluster showings and optimize drive time. Configure buffers and limits so calendars auto-fill efficiently without manual juggling.
Run A Hybrid Showing Model
- Offer a hybrid: accompanied tours during business hours and self-showings evenings/weekends to meet prospects' schedules. This hybrid captures more leads while respecting agent availability.
