Why do we charge a fee to issue a showing code to unescorted visitors? We invest a good deal of time and money preparing our properties for their next family. Due to the very high number of “low-grade inquiries” we receive daily, in order to assure visitor traffic is limited to only those seriously interested in potentially leasing one of our offerings, we secure a very small fee as a traffic screening method. In our experience, a small fee does not put off a motivated potential tenant.
