In this guide, we’ll explain what ShowingTime is, how it works for different property types, and how to make the most of it when selling your home.
What is ShowingTime?
ShowingTime is a scheduling platform integrated directly into the MLS. It allows real estate agents to request property showings online—no phone calls, no texting back and forth, and no guessing who’s trying to access your home.
When you use ShowingTime with your flat fee MLS listing, only licensed real estate agents can request appointments. Each request is logged, verified, and managed through a secure system. You’ll receive notifications, manage approvals, and even collect feedback from showings—all from one easy-to-use platform.
Whether your property is vacant or occupied, ShowingTime makes the showing process more professional, efficient, and secure.
Why Use ShowingTime for Your Flat Fee MLS Listing in Florida?
Selling a home without a full-service agent doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice professionalism or convenience. Here’s how ShowingTime improves the experience for flat fee MLS sellers in Florida:
- Verified Access
Only licensed agents can request showings, reducing the risk of unqualified or unauthorized individuals gaining access. - No Back-and-Forth Calls
Eliminate the hassle of scheduling showings manually. ShowingTime handles appointment requests, confirmations, and follow-ups in one place. - More Showings, Less Effort
Agents are more likely to book appointments when they can do it instantly online. That means more eyes on your property—without extra work on your end. - Professional Presentation
Using ShowingTime adds a layer of polish to your listing. It signals to buyer agents that your sale is organized and easy to work with.
Whether you’re managing your first FSBO sale or multiple investment properties, ShowingTime keeps the process simple and structured.
How It Works for Different Property Types
ShowingTime can be customized based on whether your property is vacant or occupied. Here’s how it works in each scenario:
Vacant Properties
If your home is unoccupied and has a lockbox installed:
- Automatic Access
Agents can schedule a showing through ShowingTime and instantly receive the lockbox code. - No Need for Manual Approval
You don’t have to respond to every request—ShowingTime handles it automatically based on your settings. - Low Interruption
You stay informed without needing to coordinate every appointment.
Occupied Properties
If you’re still living in the home or need to coordinate access:
- You Control Access
When an agent requests a showing, you’ll receive a text or email notification. - Approve or Reschedule
Confirm the appointment, decline it, or suggest a new time that works better for you. - Stay in the Loop
Every request and response is tracked in your ShowingTime account for easy reference.
ShowingTime gives you the flexibility to manage showings your way—without losing out on professional exposure.
