We have many listings around Chicagoland and for this reason, we use Vivint Smart Home system [link hidden]
Why Vivint Smart Home?
- I understand your uncomfortableness to pass keycode, We pass keycode 4hours before check-in time or after 11AM(not to conflict with the current guest) and also delete the code after checkout. This way one the guest who is booked with govt photo id can get in. This way it avoids all kind of trouble.
- Hire a VA who wait for guest in and see thru doorbell camera and pay VA per check-in basis.
- You can pass keycode and ask check-in between 9 PM to 12 AM (or any time before 11 AM) using door keycode.
- You can see who checked in from your Apple watch or phone or web by VA or later review it.
- If needed, hire VA and they will do open it remotely ( you can hire per check-in basis).
- Dynamically generate keycode for each guest.
- If need, keep multiple deadbolts aka door access and only give the access code to guest's room. This way you're secure.
- This is a one-time investment but bring more business to you.
- Many more
When get chance I will make a video on how I do it or PM for a demo.
