No tricks wish I had one - I email, text, and leave a voice message. It is very frustrating when the parties do not respond promptly.

The client often gives a wrong number, and does not provide an email unless asked.

I don't have any issues with scheduling.

Same. In the last 6 years, I only recall 3 times I could not actually get into a home at my scheduled inspection time. No issues scheduling things either.

We use Showingtime in my market, which makes it very easy. But even before that was widespread, I would email and/or text. If I got no response in 24 hours, I would ask for a different contact name from my client.

Rare - usually a full voicemail or wrong number (old # sometimes)

Yeah, showingtime solved most scheduling issues from back in the day.

Not sure who all has clients on Reggora, but our group is switching over to Reggora and they have functionality to do 'scheduling assistance'. Borrower selects 2-3 times that they'd be available when completing the appraisal payment, then the appraiser is open to select one of those times or negotiate with the borrower or seller for a new time. Haven't used it yet (as we're not live yet), but seems really slick.
