How Do I use the Waitlist feature?
When buyer demand is high, an agent’s job can be a complex one indeed. Add low available inventory to the mix as most markets are currently experiencing, and you have the makings of a potentially stressful situation for agents representing both buyers and alike. Fortunately, if that situation sounds familiar to you, you’re in luck: ShowingTime has a solution that’s tailormade to help you navigate it!
As the busy season heats up, agents on both sides of the transaction will benefit from becoming acquainted with ShowingTime’s new Waitlist feature. As the name suggests, the Waitlist feature allows buyer’s agents to join a waitlist to become notified when the opportunity to schedule a showing on a listing that has an otherwise booked showing window. This not only helps buyer’s agents remain competitive in a seller’s market, it also helps listing agents perform their fiduciary duty for sellers by ensuring they’re fielding the best available offer for their clients.
On listings in which the Waitlist option is enabled, a buyer’s agent simply needs to select the Join Waitlist button at the top of the scheduling screen. Once selected, any agent will receive a text notification if any appointment opportunity becomes available.
Note: Because all agents on a listing’s waitlist are notified at the same time, they will have the opportunity to schedule the showing on a first come, first served basis.
Joining a waitlist for a listing is as easy as selecting the Join Waitlist button available at the top of scheduling screen.
Joining a waitlist is just as simple when using the ShowingTime mobile app – just as with the desktop version, users simply need to tap the Join Waitlist button to begin the process.
