Snug enables Pre-Apply so renters can submit their details and property managers can optimise viewings with potentially suitable rental prospects rather than general open homes. Pre-Apply helps renters and property managers save time and better match their requirements.
How Pre-Apply Works
- Renters enquire on a property and receive the Pre-Apply link or start applications via the Snug property page.
- Renters complete the disclosure that they are pre-applying and conditionally accept the property as presented online subject to a viewing
- Property managers receive and manage the application and can then schedule a viewing with the selected applicants/prospects from the specific Application, Messages or in Viewings.
Note:
- Viewings will NOT display on the property page, they will be suppressed.
- Email auto-responder will NOT include the viewing times, prospects will be requested to Pre-Apply.
- Property Managers can schedule viewings with the selected applicants as either private appointments or open homes. Only open home times will be sent to active prospects. Alternatively a private appointment can set for the preferred applicant.
Example of the Enquiry Auto-Responder message:
How to set up Pre-Apply
- Login to your Team Account,
- Go to Settings / Applications and select Pre-Apply.
Tip: Use the context menu [...] to Schedule Viewing from an Application.
Pre-Apply with Virtual Viewings
Virtual viewings can be combined with pre-apply. The benefit is qualifying prospects with a virtual viewing before receiving an application, then once the application is processed a physical viewing would be scheduled. This workflow might be useful in areas with lower affordability and during very high demand, where open homes are not feasible and limited appointments with suitable prospects is more time efficient and prudent.
How it works
- Enquiry autoresponder and property page invites enquirers to view the Virtual Viewing
- Once the Virtual Viewing has been clicked/watched, then prospect can complete the Application.
- If a virtual viewing is not available, a fall back to Apply or Request a Viewing is available
- If a viewing is available, both options to register or watch the virtual viewing are available.
Settings:
- Go to Settings for Applications and select Require Viewing before applying with Physical or Virtual Viewing
- Ensure virtual viewings are loaded via Onlist or the Property Uploader
