Jump-start Your ShowingTime Experience on May 2nd

Jump-start Your ShowingTime Experience on May 2nd

by | Apr 26, 2018 | RMLSweb

ShowingTime is an efficient online scheduling tool allowing, but not requiring, RMLS™ subscribers to schedule a showing from right inside RMLSweb. Listing brokers using ShowingTime may set up showing schedules, automate communications with owners, while confirming, rescheduling, or denying showing appointments. Buyers’ brokers may use ShowingTime to schedule appointments, get driving directions. ShowingTime can even be used for showing feedback!

Here are just a few of the ways ShowingTime can help RMLS™ subscribers:

  • Create showing schedules for listings
  • Schedule showings for a listing
  • Instant notifications via text, email, or phone when showings are requested/confirmed
  • Online access to showing information from any device
  • Showing Feedback
  • Schedule multiple showings at once (via Showing Cart)
  • Map a buyer’s tour
  • Display driving directions

All of this is free to RMLSweb users, but power users may want to level up to the ShowingTime paid product for advanced capabilities.

JUMP-START YOUR SHOWINGTIME EXPERIENCE

ShowingTime is offering a limited run of webinars for RMLS™ subscribers. Get acquainted by joining one of the four webinars happening May 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

Once the product goes live on May 2nd (along with the other RMLSweb projects debuting at the same time), head to RMLSweb. Navigate to the Toolkit menu and select ShowingTime (above).

Set up your user preferences on this page—they will help you use ShowingTime successfully. Scroll down this page to find a special button to download the ShowingTime app and access your account easily, without a lengthy login process.

SET UP SHOWINGTIME ON A LISTING

Once your preferences are set up, you may enable ShowingTime on any of your RMLSweb listings in Listing Load:

Once you’ve enabled ShowingTime on a listing, head back to the ShowingTime page (or use your app) to set up a showing calendar for the property, add your clients into the loop, set up automatic feedback requests, and more.

(Note that showing instructions don’t automatically transfer from RMLSweb to ShowingTime, so users will need to enter the information again.)

REQUEST A SHOWING

Buyers’ agents, when you find a property in RMLSweb that you’d like to show, simply click the ShowingTime icon wherever you see it—in list view (above), detail view, or on the Agent Full report.

Simply fill out the form and either schedule a single showing or add to your ShowingCart to request a batch of showings at a later time.

ShowingTime has more intricacies and features that RMLSweb users are sure to appreciate. Sign up for the webinars happening May 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, to learn more! These webinars will only be offered a few times by ShowingTime, so register today.

Getting Up to Speed on RMLSweb News: Ask Technical Terry

by | Apr 18, 2018 | RMLSweb, Tips & Tricks

Ask Technical Terry is a series RMLS™ aims to offer once a month. RMLS™ subscribers will drive the content—submit any question about RMLS™ to Technical Terry in the comments or by emailing communications@rmls.com. Don’t be shy—we won’t identify you by name.

Dear Technical Terry,

My-oh-MY is the market abuzz about the upcoming Coming Soon-No Showing status and the changes to Authorization to Exclude! I think I’ve also heard rumor of a forms change rollout and a new showing scheduler being added to RMLSweb. I’m really concerned that much of what I’m hearing is just rumor. Can you guide me to where I can get more info on these important changes?

Concerned Clarice in Clackamas

 

Hi CCC-

Why, yes I can! Your perspective that the market is “abuzz” about the upcoming changes is spot on.

RMLS™ communicates information in a variety of ways. We understand that some subscribers rely on the RMLSweb desktop page for information, others rely on the RMLS™ Weekly Report, sent on Monday mornings, and others still really like subscribing to our blog on RMLScentral for information.

For example: on the day I’m writing this, the RMLSweb desktop page has links to an array of useful information about the projects you mention:

We send out the RMLS™ Weekly Report at 6 AM every Monday morning. In it you will find much of the same information shown on the RMLSweb desktop. The email address we use to send RWR is the address you provide to us in the User Preferences section of RMLSweb, shown here:

(If you’re not receiving the email, it could be that your email account filters the email to your junk or spam folder. Check there!)

Last, but certainly not least, is the RMLScentral blog. You can find articles on the blog that cover the same topics and others, with the added benefit of visible subscriber feedback and questions. Access the blog from the RMLSweb desktop page by clicking on the appropriate link in the Links section, seen here:

I sure hope this information helps, Clarice. We realize that your days are very busy, and as such we try to provide information in a variety of channels/formats, hoping one or more will work well for you.

TT

 

Hey, Technical Terry!

Clarice is my team member and while she may have plenty of time in the office to subscribe to the RMLS™ blog and read news as soon as it’s released, I am in my car all the time. Showings, trips to the RMLS™ office, picking up closing gifts—it seems the hours I spend in traffic every day take me away from RMLS™ communications. Any suggestions there, smartypants?

Cody Clark, Clarice’s Coworker in Clackamas

 

Hey…CCCCC!

First things first: don’t read this (or anything else from RMLS™) while driving!

That said, I do indeed have the very thing for you: Real Talk with RMLS™, our podcast! We unveiled our first episode just about a year ago, and our audience has been growing steadily ever since. Episodes are offered regularly, and listeners can expect that big projects like the ones Clarice was interested in will be covered in an episode very soon.

Real Talk with RMLS™ is available on iTunes and Google Play. We hope you will pass some of your time sitting in traffic by learning about RMLS™ projects this way!
