Two MLSs in New York State Now Live with the ShowingTime Appointment Center and ShowingAssist

The Appointment Center provides member offices and agents with a single phone number to request showings, and is open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. EDT seven days a week. The service also allows members to quickly confirm or reschedule showings from their smart phones, in addition to providing 24/7 online scheduling. Homeowners can also confirm requests via two-way text messaging without being interrupted by a phone call.

"Members of the Staten Island MLS and the Capital Region MLS will be pleased with our level of service to help them manage showings and feedback," said ShowingTime Executive Vice President Michael Lane. Staten Island's members went live June 4, while the Capital Region went live June 26. "With the Appointment Center's extended hours, 2-way text messaging, and branded calls and emails, members gain efficiencies in the scheduling process along with market presence so they can focus on other tasks to expedite home sales."

The products were developed by ShowingTime, the real estate industry's leading showing management technology provider, to simplify the appointment scheduling process required for agents to bring buyers to listings. The Appointment Center and ShowingAssist are used to schedule more than 2.5 million showings every month by 400,000+ real estate professionals across the country.

MLS member offices and agents simply call 800-SHOWING to request showings, or visit the MLS site to access ShowingAssist online. The products generate feedback from showing agents and post to activity reports sellers can access online any time, a key element in the sales process. In addition, the ability to confirm or reschedule showings from smart phones adds convenience for listing agents, showing agents and sellers.
