Northwest Ohio Real Estate Information Service, New Jersey Multiple Listing Service and Ann Arbor Area Board of REALTORS® Add ShowingTime’s Online System for Members

Chicago, IL – November 5, 2013—ShowingTime, the real estate industry's leading showing management technology provider, announced today that three more MLSs totaling more than 9,000 members are adding ShowingTime's online scheduling system to help members manage showings directly through the MLS.

ShowingTime for the MLS provides 24/7 online scheduling for members, who can also use their smartphones to request and manage showings and feedback. The cost-effective service is used to schedule 2 million showings per month and is live in more than 60 MLSs representing 400,000+ real estate professionals. ShowingTime for the MLS uses technology to streamline the appointment scheduling process, resulting in quicker showing confirmations and less phone tag. All of the real estate industry's primary MLS vendors have successfully incorporated ShowingTime into their MLS systems for clients.

"Our members are looking forward to online scheduling with ShowingTime," said Sharon Hubbard, MLS Director of the Northwest Ohio Real Estate Information System. "Streamlining the appointment request process with 24/7 availability, reducing phone calls, and saving time for our members has great value."

Listing agents can post showing instructions and enter available hours on an interactive calendar to indicate when a listing can be shown. When a showing agent submits a request, notifications are sent instantly according to the listing agent's preferences. A listing can be set up a variety of ways depending on whether it's occupied or vacant.

"We are thrilled to have these MLSs and Associations partner with us to better equip their members," said ShowingTime President Michael Lane. "We're pleased to add measurable efficiencies to the appointment scheduling process. Members have access to a ShowingCart, mapping, and enhanced notifications, which include 2-way text messaging so agents can confirm, decline or reschedule appointments from their smartphones when they can't take a call. Some also will have access to customizable feedback, which enables sellers to view their own listing activity report," he added.

The ShowingTime Appointment Center is also available to agents and offices and works seamlessly with ShowingTime for the MLS. It includes dedicated appointment center staff to fully confirm showings on behalf of listing agents and offices. It also features branded phone calls, as if the appointment center staff is in the subscriber's office. Hundreds of offices in these markets also use ShowingDesk, ShowingTime's web-enabled front desk software. Showing requests made via the MLS download into a "Task List" to facilitate prompt follow-up by office staff. ShowingDesk is the industry's most popular front desk software for managing showings.
