Between work and personal commitments, it’s hard to sync your schedule with the work hours of an agent and get a firsthand look at a model home! Recently, touring models without a guide has become increasingly popular. We’ve gathered insight from innovators and leaders in the field to help you tour a model home on your own time.

How can I tour a model without an agent?

Technology such as Nter Now keyless entry allows people to visit models at any time for a self-guided tour. The convenience and flexibility of this solution is fueling its popularity. Nter Now president Greg Bray explains "We're seeing a huge rise of model homes onto our platform. Nter Now has facilitated over a million tours since 2018."

Are there any downsides?

During the initial rise of self-guided tours, there were some concerns that security issues would arise during unsupervised tours. However, the combination of verification at the door and remote activity monitoring has effectively provided a secure touring environment for all visitors. Bray said, "We've had zero theft, zero issues or incidents in any model or furnished home."

How do I find answers to questions about the home?

One advantage of having an actual agent to lead the home tour is the ability to ask them any questions that arise about the floor plan, included features, pricing, and more. To provide similar information access, homes with self-entry are set up with informational brochures, QR codes to web pages, and contact info for sales agents. Not only does self-touring allow you to tour on your own time, it also allows you to receive information according to your interest level and timeline.

How does it work?

You’re at the front door. How do you enter for your tour? Luckily, you don’t have to remember any specific steps, because the information on the door will guide you through it. You’ll see instructions to download the Nter Now app. Within the app you’ll enter the provided ID number for the specific model you’re at. It will then walk you through a quick verification process and give you a pin to type into the door’s keypad. Just like that, you’re in!
