Here's how to transition in 3 easy steps.
Step 1: Use Snug for Applications only and start prep for Viewings on Snug
How does this work? Tenants book through your Inspection Booking System and your team continues to use the IBS for Check-ins. Tenants start to apply through Snug.

IMPORTANT:
-
- Set up your Snug Email Forwarding so prospects populate your prospect enquiry database and you'll have all contact details pre-loaded before using Viewings. Email Auto-responder is Turned OFF so Snug doesn't send outbound emails.
