You’ve found a great potential home for your client, and you know it won’t be on the market long. You want to show it to your client as soon as possible, but 5am is hardly the time to be calling the seller’s agent. If only there was a way to schedule a showing online…
ShowingTime is a new service that is set to roll out on RMLSweb this spring along with other RMLSweb improvements we’ve recently written about. Once released, RMLS™ subscribers will be able to schedule a showing from inside RMLSweb, eliminating the phone tag that can slow down the process of securing a property showing.
Sellers’ agents putting a listing into RMLSweb can—but don’t have to—use ShowingTime to facilitate showings. If ShowingTime is used, a listing agent may choose to make an open schedule (ideal for vacant listings or empty parcels of land), require an appointment during a schedule they set, or display showing instructions only.
Brokers who have found a property with ShowingTime enabled may schedule their showing immediately, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. A showing schedule is available so the property is never mistakingly double-booked, and an instant confirmation with showing instructions is delivered via text or email to both showing agent and listing agent.
Aside from its basic functions, ShowingTime will offer other amenities for RMLS™ subscribers. ShowingTime creates notifications via email, text, or through its mobile app so both agents have a confirmation of a showing. A feature called ShowingCart can help an agent create a tour of properties and other stops the group may want to make, complete with driving directions. Basic showing feedback is solicited and collected in one place for convenience. Listing activity reports are available for properties using ShowingTime, including the ability to export the showing data. Naturally, ShowingTime has a mobile app for iOS and Android with a mobile site available for Windows or Blackberry devices.
RMLS™ subscribers interested in having even more tools can pay for ShowingTime’s premium service which adds the option of brokerage branding, with special ShowingTime tools to offer sellers who want to have more involvement in the process.
Training will be available to RMLS™ subscribers leading up to the rollout through webinars, video tutorials, and standalone tips. Live technical support will also be available seven days a week via phone, email, or chat.
Get ready to schedule showings easily and conveniently once ShowingTime is available later this spring!
This is going to be spectacular. Saving time is a valuable tool.
Thank you RMLS, this will be an amazing service and time saver!!
Perfect! This will be invaluable for owner/tenant occupied listings!
Very Excited about this new scheduling tool. I’ve heard about it for a long time and it is well accepted in other locales of the United States. Thank you RMLS!
I am a member of NWMLS also and they have this active on their listings. It’s awesome!
When do you plan on activating this feature? Will it include the Market Stats and the Lead Management tools?
Hello James, We anticipate rolling this out the first week of May, either the morning of May 1st or May 2nd. Market Stats and Lead Management tools are not included in the basic MLS version that will be integrated into RMLSweb.
I already have Showtime on my NWMLS membership and listings. It is awesome and makes life soooooo much easier. Tks RMLS
This is exciting news thank you RMLS. I’m sure this will be a welcome addition to the already great services you provide!
I’m so excited to hear about Showing Time being part of RMLS for our listings. Thank you!
I’ve heard about this and we’re SO excited!!
I think this is a perfect tool for out of state or out of the country buyers on different time schedules. I also think that some buyers are morning people and some are night. A win win for all.
Thanks for listing to our needs and our clients needs.
Just scheduled my first showing through Showing Time. Excited to have this new tool. Thank you RMLS!
