Showing requests, shown in blue, were down slightly compared to last month as normally seen in April.

The second annual ShowingTime MLS Leadership Reception for ShowingAssist customers took place Tuesday, May 11 in Washington, D.C. as a kickoff to ShowingTime's participation in the NAR Midyear event.

Sellers who are at work or are otherwise busy often are unable to take a phone call to confirm or reject a showing request. To facilitate quick confirmations, another option is being introduced in an upcoming product release: emails to the seller with buttons to confirm, reject or reschedule the request.

A unique feature of the ShowingTime Appointment Center -- something not available from any other provider -- is the ability to use the service on nights and weekends only.

Real Estate offices, brokers, agents and MLSs are continually seeking effective technology solutions to help automate the showing request, confirmation and feedback process.
