InstaShow+ gives you the option to offer secure, biometric self-tour access to prospects—saving you both time and money.
Self-service showings are property tours that allow prospective tenants or buyers to access a listing without an agent physically present. Instead of relying on manual coordination, showing management tools like smart locks, automated scheduling, and biometric verification, grant visitors temporary, secure access.
This approach differs from traditional showings or open houses, where scheduling can take days and coordination happens through calls, texts, or emails. With self-guided property tours, visitors can schedule, verify their identity, and access the property.
The foundation of showing automation lies in tools that manage security, scheduling, and access. Key components include:
These systems work together to make showings faster, safer, and easier to track. Agents and property managers can monitor access in real time while keeping communication centralized.
Self-service showings aren’t limited to one type of real estate. They’re being used in:
Across all these uses, self-service tours make the showing process more efficient while maintaining safety and control.
Time constraints, last-minute cancellations, and unqualified leads can eat into productivity and reduce profitability. Self-service technology helps eliminate these roadblocks.
Scheduling, rescheduling, and driving between appointments take up valuable hours. Automated scheduling tools allow prospects to view available times and confirm instantly. If a prospect cancels or reschedules, the system updates automatically. This eliminates unnecessary back-and-forth and reduces the number of missed showings.
Modern buyers and renters want convenience. Many prefer to explore properties at their own pace and on their own time. Data shows that 60% of first-time residents choose self-tours, and 40% of all tours occur outside of regular working hours. By offering flexible access, agents meet clients where they are—literally and figuratively.
Automated platforms record every showing, helping agents understand who toured the property, when, and how serious they are about moving forward. This insight allows for faster follow-up and stronger conversion rates. In fact, self-tour prospects convert to leases 9.3% of the time compared to 5% for traditional tours, showing that automation saves time and delivers better results.
Safety is a top concern for agents and property managers. Traditional open houses and unsupervised visits can create risk. Self-service showings reduce this by requiring ID or biometric verification before anyone sets foot inside. Each visitor’s access is time-stamped and tracked, giving agents peace of mind and a complete record of every showing.
In fast-paced rental and sales markets, being able to show a property instantly can be the difference between a missed lead and a signed lease. Self-guided property tours allow agents to act quickly, capture more leads, and stand out to tech-savvy clients who value efficiency.
As adoption grows, not all systems offer the same level of protection or ease of use. That’s where InstaShow+ stands out. It combines showing automation, smart-lock access, and biometric verification into one easy platform built for real estate professionals.
Security starts with identity verification. InstaShow+’s patented technology uses facial recognition to confirm each prospect’s identity before granting access. This ensures that only verified visitors can enter a property, helping prevent fraud or misuse. With every step tracked and recorded, agents can manage showings confidently, no matter where they are.
Through integration with smart locks and security cameras, InstaShow+ lets property managers and agents control access remotely. You can monitor who enters, how long they stay, and review video footage if needed. This creates an additional layer of protection for both the property and the people touring it.
Instead of juggling texts, emails, and phone calls, InstaShow+ offers a centralized communication hub for scheduling, messaging, and analytics. You can view all upcoming tours, track engagement, and manage team permissions, all in one place. The platform also automates reminders and follow-ups to keep prospects engaged.
InstaShow+ was built for the entire real estate ecosystem: agents, brokers, property managers, and FSBO owners. No matter your role, the app adapts to your workflow. You can set availability, approve self-tours or simplify schedule times for chaperoned tours, and manage multiple properties simultaneously, saving hours each week. Plus, you keep your leads instead of sharing them with third-party platforms, protecting your business relationships and long-term revenue.
Self-service showings are more than a short-term convenience. They represent a major shift in how real estate professionals operate. By embracing automation, agents and property managers can save time, increase lead quality, and offer a better experience for clients.
InstaShow+ makes this transition simple. With built-in verification, smart-lock integration, and secure scheduling, it gives agents control over every part of the showing process, without sacrificing safety or personal connection.
