This week we take a deep dive into unattended access. We mentioned it briefly on episode 62, but there were a slew of follow-up questions. We talk about set-up options, pros and cons, how to make it work, and what it means for the future of real estate. Plus… we have been trying to shorten the Story Time segment but it’s hard when there are so many interesting tangents.Weigh in on if we should cut or keep Story Time in the Market Proof Marketing Facebook group.
