No, it’s not the rental apocalypse. Market times are almost as bad as 2020 in the teeth of pandemic-induced lockdowns. However, let’s remember that while we were holding our collective breath through those months, the four horsemen never did come riding in. That’s the good news.
Did you know that ShowMojo has a Request a Feature page where you can add and vote on new features? It’s a list that matters. Our Mobile App for Showings used to be at the top of that list. That got done. Then there was Two-Way Text Messaging. Done. And the current occupant at the top of the list is (was) Text Message Current Occupants about Upcoming Showings.
At ShowMojo, we’re always looking to maximize your marketing dollar. Sometimes that’s with features (like Listing Boost and Max Listing Rotation) that straight-up address how expensive marketing can be. Sometimes that’s by Extending Our Dynamic Prospect Nurturing Two Years into the Future. Today, that’s by expanding our syndication activities beyond standard single family and multi-family rentals.
It’s been a year since we announced the permanent access code feature for the MojoLock G3. We still remember the stinging retort from several of our most diehard users: Can we have a second permanent access code, please? It’s been a year, because weaving hardware and software seamlessly together takes time. At last, here’s our rebuttal: You get four permanent access codes with each MojoLock G3. Starting today.
Yes, you read that right. Text messaging is supposed to be mobile. It just doesn’t make sense why so many business texting solutions force you, the user, to sit in front of a physical keyboard and old school monitor to use them. You’d think it was still 1995 or something. Now, with ShowMojo’s two-way text messaging feature, you and your team can message by text with prospects using the ShowMojo mobile app and get new message alerts right on your iPhone or Android device.
On 1pm EST, February 27th, we released a firmware update for all MojoBoxes. It completely resolves the Feb 26th exploit. You can immediately push this update to each of your MojoBoxes from your mobile app.
We’re doing something completely different with this week’s ShowMojo Newsletter. We have gobs of rental data in ShowMojo. We’re seeing a couple of major trends breaking. We feel compelled to share.
It is a hot job market, and we know property managers and investors are feeling the heat when it comes to hiring good help. Currently, there are twice as many job openings as there are people looking to work. Even awful help is expensive, which is really, well, awful.
We’re thrilled to announce the completion of a feature request that has been in our backlog for ten years. Yes, it’s been literally a decade. Some Great Things take time. (Just in case anyone is considering an over-the-hill birthday gift for yours truly.) So let’s just celebrate. ShowMojo™ is officially part of the AppFolio Stack™ Marketplace. That means never-before-seen integration capabilities.
