The “dog days of summer” are upon us, with the weather heating up and the real estate market following suit.

More and more showings are being scheduled – showings increased 10.3 percent year-over-year in June 2017, according to the ShowingTime Showing Index – and with such a high number of showings, it’s important for listing agents to review and update listing details.

ShowingTime makes that process easy, whether you’re on a desktop or using the ShowingTime mobile app.

Up-to-date showing instructions help agents schedule showings on your listings, removing unnecessary confusion over who to contact and what to expect. Ensuring that your listings have correct access details – such as lockbox and alarm code information – keeps agents from having to call you. It also means they can access your listings at the time of their confirmed appointment with ease.

Review your instructions regularly to make sure access details and the homeowners’ contact information is current. This includes contact methods, access types and key set management, as well as setting up showing restrictions or exceptions.

With so many showings being scheduled, real estate professionals are in the midst a hectic time. Make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible on your listings by keeping your showing instructions up to date.
