# How Do You Safely Provide Self-Showing Access to a Home?

## We take security extremely seriously — that’s why we partner with ShowMojo, the industry leader in preventing registration and access fraud.

Their system requires **verified ID** to generate a unique access code, ensuring only legitimate, pre-screened individuals can enter a home.

On top of that, we’ve built our own **showing qualification process** from over **20 years of experience**, filtering for responsible and serious renters before anyone steps inside.

[See: Learn About Showmojo, the Company That Runs our Boxes and Scheduler](https://hello.showmojo.com/blog/showmojo-and-your-data/)

A lesser-known but major security benefit of self-showings is that **frequent legal activity deters illegal activity**. Popular homes often receive **10+ showings per week**, meaning anyone with bad intentions knows another visitor could arrive minutes later — that alone prevents most issues.

In our history, **break-ins are extremely rare**, and we’ve never had one tied to a verified self-showing. By contrast, **vacant homes that sit for months** (never under our management) are far more likely to experience theft, especially outdoor AC units.

Self-showings also help **prevent costly disasters** like floods. We’ve stopped **dozens of major water events** thanks to visitors reporting leaks early — something traditional showings could easily miss, as staff might only visit twice a week.

In short, **self-showings are low risk and high reward**, especially in a post-COVID world where serious renters value flexibility. They attract top-tier residents with busy, no-nonsense schedules and consistently **improve profitability** through reduced vacancy.

That said, we still adapt when needed — for instance, we never self-show **occupied homes** and occasionally switch to **in-person showings** for **high-value or higher-risk listings** (like newly built homes with premium appliances in rural areas).
