You can have strong confidence when you purchase products from ShowingTime, knowing it has achieved "approved vendor" status with all the major franchises.

Agents want to be kept in the loop on all that activity occurring on their listings. Homeowners love instant notifications, too, as well as seeing feedback as quickly as possible. That’s one of the benefits of using a system that automates that process for you.

In a recent story posted on a real estate blog, an agent tackled the topic of price reductions with three tips for success. Fortunately for ShowingDesk customers, you have a ready-made tool to help with the process: Listing Activity Reports.

Based on the results of a recent survey of ShowingDesk Web Edition users, the web-enabled tool saves time and brings structure to what can sometimes be a chaotic process: scheduling showing appointments.

Listings can be automatically or manually archived in ShowingDesk Web Edition. This means that when a listing is no longer active or on the market, ShowingDesk can be set up to hide it from your screen to make setting appointments and other items faster.
