Home by ShowingTime

When I put my previous home on the market in 2008 it was a disaster. There was no way for the Seller to be kept in the loop. I actually hated every minute it took to sell my house. And now 13 years later my Wonderful Agent listed my current home this past Wednesday. Believe me I was not looking forward to going through that again. I received an email from my Agent with a link to your App. It took about 5 minutes to learn how to use the App. It has been 2 days on the market and I have already had 10 showings, and tomorrow and Sunday are already scheduled for showings. There is absolutely no way this could have been done with out your App. The greatest thing about the App is that I was able to Sync it to my personal calendar. OMG, thank you so much for making my life easier. I would recommend this App to anyone selling their home.

We are currently selling our home. We have found the app to be unreliable for showing requests. We currently have it set up to give us a one hour notice for showings that we can either approve, deny, or reschedule. Initially, it was working fine. We opted to receive the requests via text and email. However, now it’s suddenly not working consistently. For example, a realtor requested a showing, but we didn’t receive a text about it until over an HOUR after it was put into the system rather than sending a text instantly like it was previously. This caused us to almost miss the showing and/or we would have lost our one hour timeframe to prepare and leave the home. Imagine how terrible and embarrassing it would have been for a buyer to show up on our doorstep while we were still home having no idea about the showing request. Awful! It was working fine for the week prior, so we don’t know what happened. Our settings didn’t change, our internet/phone service was fine, and our realtor has no idea why that happened either. The other problem is that the showing feedback doesn’t work either. Our realtor has to forward the emails to us instead of the feedback showing on the app. Frustrations from both the realtor and client on this one and wish we didn’t have to use it.

The app is helpful in scheduling showings, but it could use some improvement. I would love to use the calendar syncing, however, it syncs literally everything - including appts you cancelled/denied. Why would I want that on my calendar? I only want confirmed, scheduled appts on my calendar. So that essentially makes that feature useless. Also, I want to block out certain times of the day & apparently only my realtor is able to do it. To me it would make a lot more sense to have this feature available to the person who’s actually showing the house - the homeowner. There are some days we can be available throughout the day & others only in the afternoon/evening, and I don’t want to constantly bug my realtor to block out multiple days for this, or have to keep denying appts because people request times we’re not available for (we have 3 dogs so we need to be there to take care of removing them). The app could definitely be stellar in its use, but just needs to be a little more user friendly.

I’m giving this 2 stars because I’m sure there are other elements at play (showing agents not marking when they are done showing the home, scheduling wrong days, etc), but the app is very difficult to navigate. Updates take a long time to sync - most infuriating is that last minute showings added by my agent will not register the same way others do: if I approve a showing time, it syncs to phone phone calendar, and notifies me by all methods selected. Showings not approved by me sneak in unannounced. I am trying to navigate selling a home with 2 toddlers and two dogs, so delays in notifications and multiple, similar looking pages (notifications and activities) with different data is unhelpful. It’s hard to click between menus and not intuitive. I can’t trust my iPhone calendar and have to constantly check the ‘activities’ tabs for latest data, if I can even trust that. At this point, despite this app working 75% of the time, that last 25% is a real killer and can make or break a showing if we’re caught off guard.

My rental house was a three hour drive from my hone in another partvof the state. Showing Time was so great in that all I had to do was leave a key in the lockbox on the door and Buyer’s Agents scheduled their clients through the app. I then either approved the appointment or rescheduled it if I had painters or repair companies coming at the requested times. This was a very convenient feature. I also liked the Buyers’ survey section where I could read what they thought about the house. My rental property hsd two offers within a week and the sale went smoothly. Now I am selling another rental house that is a two-hour drive away. Very pleased to use Showing Time again.

The app is helpful for scheduling showings of my home. However, especially post Covid, with more and more people working from home, there needs to be a way for the seller to block out times when the home is not available for showings. I work from home and I take appointments with my clients in my home. Having to contact my agent every time I have an appointment with a client to let her know to block that time for showings is super annoying. There needs to be a way for me to block out periods of time in a calendar in the app when the home is not available for showings. I have seen multiple requests for this feature in the reviews of this app, yet nothing has been done to make this happen. Hopefully my home sells quickly so that I don’t have to continue to deal with this needless frustration.

We are selling our home and our agent arranged for all showing appointments to go through this app. I actually love the app. When it works, it makes keeping up with showings so much easier. Instead of multiple calls, texts, and emails, it is all in one place. The key is when it works. Apparently, agents do not know how to use it and have trouble with it. In a span of just three days, two agents have scheduled a different time and day than they told their buyers/thought they had appointments. We have had two families and two agents show up at our home for showings when we are home and not expecting any showings. For example, we accepted an appointment for Friday at 7pm. That was all confirmed through the app. We had no appointments on Wednesday. But, as our family was home eating dinner, the agent and their buyers let themselves into our home. The agent insisted he had a confirmed appointment - he used the app wrong and had entered Friday instead of Wednesday. If agents do not know how to use it, the value is lost and can cause a lot of problems. As much as I like the app over multiple phone calls, emails, and texts, in the case of our two incidents, the old fashioned way wouldn’t have caused any misunderstandings.

They call at exactly 8am & if we do not answer they’ll keep blowing our phones until we answer. It can be over ten calls in a matter of minutes. They’ll also text us repeatedly over 6 showings in one day after I even told them my daughter was sick with the flu & we didn’t want anyone coming in & out of the house until 5 days later. We still kept getting calls even after calling them & telling them to put us on the - “Do not call list”. To show the house 3 times after I told them no & then again the following days. Our agent even told us to just ignore them. My husband works the night shift oil/gas & they’ll still blow his phone up after he tells them he’s asleep. I had to block their number because I would be working and it would also constantly go off. I almost got fired from the phone going off multiple times a day. Now they just text & text. There’s times they schedule at a certain time & they don’t show up until an hour later.

It’s not an awful app but it’s not great. My biggest gripe is that it doesn’t have a good way to display showings for sellers. A simple calendar with your showings on it would be a game change for this app. It looks like this might exist for buyers in the app but I’m not certain. The idea that is the case just makes the absence of a calendar for sellers the more frustrating. When you get a lot of showings in a day it’s very hard to visualize what that looks like. There is a tie in to external calendaring but I’m not sure to what calendar. The links to add to calendar in the confirmation emails have never worked for my using Outlook online on my pc or the Outlook iOS app. And outlook is one of the most ubiquitous email apps around. So I have to manually interface this app with my calendar. Another gripe is that the propose new time feature doesn’t really do that. It’s a decline with a note. I have stopped using it because even proposing 15 minutes earlier or later often leads to the buying agent skipping it altogether and not re-booking. All in all, I find it barley more useful as a seller than text or email... all it really does is act as a basic proxy between me and buying agents wanting to look at my home with me having only ‘Yes’, ‘No’ or ‘No, but’ as reply options.

At first I wasn’t sure of how to respond to buyers but now I do and my phone doesn’t leave my side. I like how it shows the realtor name and company and gives an option to delay or cancel on my side. I’m working with GentleTransitions who help 55+ to sort, pack, move, recycle, donate and discard. We’re still weeks away from clearing my condo but had a repeat showing over the weekend. Maybe an offer soon? I have a lot of medical issues and now have a senior apt with no stairs that’s bigger than my condo. Hoping, to attract competing investors who will renovate for a homeowner. Thanks!

I can see how this app would be easy for people who are not residing in the house for sale. For anyone who lives at the house for sale, there are massive pitfalls. There is no way to message the potential agent to ask anything. But most annoying is there is no way to schedule out the home owner’s availability. A simple calendar showing the confirmed showings on the home owners end and a calendar of when the house is available that the home owner could fill out weekly would be massively better. While our realtor can say that the house is available specific days, other agents still contact outside those times via the app then are irritated that they’ve been “declined”. Create an availability calendar. This app is supposed to help eliminate issues with having the listing agent as the go between, but in truth, it creates problems for those living in their homes.

Ive sold several homes in the past and always had realtors do things the “old fashioned way”. I love the app because it makes scheduling and communication so much easier. My only suggestion would be to have a daily calendar view showing the times appointments are scheduled so owners can easily tell the timeline for the day. The current method is like sifting through an e-mail box that doesn’t put appointments in order by time each day. Having to go back through the notifications to figure out if a slot is available when a request needs to be confirmed is more work than it needs to be. The daily calendar view would make confirming appointments and planning your day much easier!

This is genius! Easy to setup and get instant notifications on the requests for showing and acceptance of showings; no more slow-time phoning back and forth between multiple agents, owners and sellers… also the feedback option is super for instantaneous information on pricing and staging and any other potential seller issues on the property. Super user-friendly and a tool which is a game changer in steam lining each step of the process for both parties.

It makes selling your house easier, yes. Notifications come through and sometimes you can approve showing items yourself. The app falls short in so many areas though. Just a few simple changes and it could be amazing. For one: when last minute showings come through (and I mean requests to see the house in literally 1 minute, we got a request to show the house at 8:20 and it was 8:19) the seller can’t approve them. On 2 occasions I had to call my realtor at odd hours to approve them. Two: the app doesn’t allow any type of showing window restrictions. There are times during the day where we CANNOT show the house. We hate denying showtimes but how difficult would it be to simply set a time window in the app?? No I do not want to show my house when I’m laying in bed about to fall asleep. Three: certain things are just not coming through to the seller. I never get feedback from the showings that my realtor gets. Also it took like 24 hours for my house to even show up on the app. Four: the app is not user friendly. It is not easy to navigate. Just bad. Hire a gen z intern to fix it.

I can’t believe how many good reviews this has as it’s actually so pointless I’m compelled to write a review. I am living and working in the house that’s being shown and can’t block off times that the house is unavailable via the app myself, instead I must call the realtor. There is no option to decline a showing via replying to text, it makes you use the app and of course the app kicks you out and forces you to re-log in frequently. There’s also a notification that will NOT go away despite my having clicked every tab and every message, and of course, logging out and back in. Oh well, at least there’s a graph with data that is not enhanced at all by being expressed graphically. Overlay showing count with area averages or interest rates or something. Geez.

Very buggy app. This thing will log you out constantly. Multiple times per day. Just about every time I need to check something on the app (new feedback, new showing scheduled, etc) I have to log back in. Probably even more frustrating is that nothing is chronological within the app. Received a new notification for a scheduled showing? It’s listed at the top of your schedule, even if it’s not next chronologically. I’ve raced to get things together, just to find out that a scheduled showing is not even on the same day. Received new feedback? If it was from a showing a week ago, it’ll be buried in a long list of feedback, not at the top where you would expect. App needs a lot of work. I see that the devs tend to respond to negative reviews, but my complaints echo others. So it seems like they haven’t worked it out. I’m sure it’s better than what’s been used in the past, it’s just not as good as it could be. I hope our home sells soon so that I can delete this app and stop having to log in.

The app appears to work well, it’s just the realtors that have issues. The app needs a place where the seller can “review” the buying realtor. An example is the buyers realtor is always late getting to the showing, Sellers would now know that the realtor is always late and can adjust there time “out” of the house accordingly. Also realtors should be forced to leave a review of the house they just walked thru.I have had my house on the market for a long while now and have had lots and lots of showings but I can count the number of realtor reviews on one hand.

This app worked great for the first several hours. During that time we had listed our home and began receiving numerous requests for showings. I was delighted at how useful, convenient, and easy this app made the process of scheduling the showings. The following morning I checked the app and I had been logged out. Over the next several hours I had to log in three more times. I just looked and I have been logged out again, no more than 45 minutes after my last login. This is the only issue and why this review is four stars instead of five.

Comments aren’t required for cancellation or rescheduling. People shouldn’t be permitted to cancel within three hours of the scheduled showing unless there are extenuating circumstances, and Home Owners should be able to leave feedback on the people viewing. I’ve had people refuse to adhere to CDC guidelines and insist on wearing dirty shoes and no mask or gloves in my home, cancel 15 minutes before a showing, and block only fifteen minutes and stay for over two hours! Perhaps if modeled like Uber or VRBO where there is mutual feedback by both sides, folks would be more respectful of the hoops we have to go through when getting a home ready to sell. Example: I wouldn’t reschedule for someone if they cancelled on me twice already, etc.

With the stress of selling my home, not missing a showing opportunity is a major focus. This app makes it so easy to be notified of showing requests. I can easily accept, decline or request a different date and/or time with just a click. No phone calls back and forth with a real estate agent! All the requests are in one place to review! I would be lost without this app! I highly recommend it!!

When moving and buying a home, our property is partially packed and inaccessible, and the rest of our property is sometimes tough to get to. Like everyone else. Calendars and schedules for showing the house that we are selling is essential to get right and have no errors. This app does that. Quick and easy. It is all right here and it takes all the coordination and puts it into one place for an I stand decision on yes or no for a viewing time. I recommend this app!

Hadn’t sold a house in years. I live in CA and am selling our rental in NY. Our realtor at C21 uses this app for the sellers and MLS agent showings. As a seller with a property manager, I can’t say enough about how easily and effectively everyone was kept in the loop. Easy to use even for a “non tech” person like myself. Lots of good features. A great way to do things and light years ahead of the former ways of scheduling and communicating, especially now, given all of the COVID restrictions. Thank you for this very helpful tool!

When we sold our house years ago it was so much more time consuming to schedule viewings. With this app, I as the seller can immediately say yes or no to the request of the other agents request to view the home. The agent is allowed to schedule any amount of time they think they need which makes it much easier for me to schedule my day! I truly don’t know why every real estate agent doesn’t use this app!!!

This took over two hours to update and show notifications I could interact with. Meanwhile, I had texts coming in asking me to confirm or decline to the tune of over 40 showing requests. Then, the part that says “tours” shows nothing. I synced my calendar so that’s helpful, but it would be nice if “tours” had a timeline of showings. It’s just blank. What’s the point of this app again? My realtor can schedule showings during agreed-upon hours with me. Idc what times as long as I know when to be gone. Also, I requested technical support and got no response. It’s eight hours later and still no response.

This app puts the power of showings back in the hands (literally) of the seller. You can immediately see showing requests (no phone tag or texting back and forth) and confirm or modify/cancel them easily and can leave messages for the agent if there are any issues. A savvy realtor will use this app to keep you in the loop and make your relationship go smoother. 👍👍

This happened to be the app that my realtor selected to manage showings. Unfortunately there are so many unprofessional realtors that are NO SHOWS, LATE, VERY EARLY and sometimes show up on the wrong day and time. There is no functionality to see who are the realtor who is requesting for showings. There is NO functionality to block realtors from requesting a showing after No Shows. The developers could care less after feedback given to them. The Response was “take it up to your listing realtor”. The “propose for a new time” functions un-intuitively. It just cancels the request. It’s a dumb function. There is NO way for the seller to block the days and times when the unit is unavailable for showings. Realtors will request at late hours of the night for an early next day showing. The seller has no control of what parameters, but it’s a free for all the realtors. Again, this app was built for realtors NOT sellers. Without sellers, there will be no realtors and there will be NO showing time app.

It’s nice to be able to see feedback when left by those who have viewed our house. We get notifications via phone all and text about requests, but then the history doesn’t show up until a few days later as notifications from the app. And there’s no way for us to block out times we do or do not want to show the house. And I’m not sure if people are getting our texts back when we respond with alternate times because we receive no responses about it.

Why does this app forget your login every time you try to use it? Still shows the notifications update on the app icon even if you have marked all updates as “read”. These type of issues have to get fixed if you’re serious about your app. Functionally, this app can deliver the information that a homeowner needs to know, however you have to fight it all the way. It constantly times out, forcing you to login most times you use it. The responsiveness of the UI is poor, it’s laggy and uses non standard gestures. It has font sizing that is harder to read than it should be, all things that are entirely avoidable.

It has been 17 years since I sold a house. Technology has changed so much since then. I love how simple and easy to read this app is for the seller. It keeps everything in one place and alerts all parties to keep everyone in the loop. The ease of use for this app removes a few layers of stress during this entire process. If only other stressful areas in life could be this simple!!!

App works ok, sometimes it’s buggy and will close or auto cancel a showing. The main reason for the 2 stars is that there is no way to hold the showing realtors accountable. Many times realtors will come 45 mins to an hour late without notifying us. Some realtors just don’t have respect and common sense that an occupied home has people stepping out during a showing. Wish there was a way to either show the Realtors contact info or to rate them. A rating system would definitely ensure that these realtors take showings more seriously and respect other people’s time.

I find it very hard to believe there’s no calendar view of showing appointments… you really expect me to look at a list of “activities”?? Come on, you already have the info to do this! You do realize some homes are owner occupied so this would be extremely helpful to keep track of when to be out of the house… instead I have to make my own calendar entries for each visit. So basically all this is good for is to accept showing requests.

Not only does this app keep track of showings and appointments, it also has a "feedback" tab where buyer's agents can provide useful feedback after the showing. The only negative is that I get ghost notifications. There's been a notification on the app badge for three days. But I've gone through the entire app and don't have any pending notifications. Other than that this app is excellent.

This app fails at its most basic function. As the seller, we had no way of entering our availability. Given that we’re currently working from home, fitting in showings between meetings takes constant planning. Using this app only added extra work because every time a showing was requested we still had to actively engage the broker. Hilariously, you can call them to enter available times in the calendar. Really? Call? Basically the only thing this app needs to do is let the seller have control over scheduling blocks and it doesn’t do that, which means it just adds friction to the process.

We love this app for appointments! We travel a lot and it’s so nice to be able to check periodically to see how things are going and especially love the potential buyer comments. This is a great app, however our realtor, Dayna Ashley is AMAZING and always calls us about showings and feed back. We love the David Bauer team, David Bauer and Andrea Bogdon. Everyone should be so lucky to have someone working for them like these folks. #SchulerBauer

Great app theoretically but in practice there are quite a few improvements that would be beneficial from the seller’s point of view. My house is listed on this app so this review is from a selling perspective. Multiple people have requested a showing and have not shown up, or have shown up hours later. I’m not aware as to whether or not it’s possible from the realtor side, but there needs to be an option to either cancel the request or to send a message to the seller that they will be late or need to reschedule. It’s inconvenient for people who are still living at the house they are trying to sell.

Functionality is fine, but holy crap am I tired of logging into this app. Just a few updates would make this five stars: 1) enable realty password integration so I can just use the password saved for the website in my keychain. Almost every other app I use does this, it can’t be that hard to enable 2) make it so I don’t have to re log in every time I open the app. This isn’t like a banking app or something, just save an account token in the app and log me back in 3) move the bottom three controls up on iOS devices without Touch ID. They overlap the swipe bar and it’s super annoying. The only functional improvement I have is allow me to block times from being booked as showings without having to contact my real estate agent. Do those 4 things and you have a five star app.

Really easy to use... I get text + email confirmations so if I forget one method at work the other reminds me 👍🏻 I really appreciate the "end of showing" notification so I can go home since showings inconvenient me if I wasn't at work. I wish showing feedback was more IRL / real-time or within mins of the showing ending, but human nature will always be elusive 🤦🏼‍♀️

Loving the app however is love the option to only get push notifications without having to get texts as well. I like the push notifications because I can click right into the so from the push notification. With the text, I have to open the text and then close out of the screen and open up the app. The text creates an unnecessary duplicate notification and step. It can cause confusion.

Every time I tap link I was sent to confirm my home showing, I just get the “wait” wheel churning infinitely. I was sent link likely by my realtor. I tapped on iPhone and was given choice to open either on Safari or the app. I downloaded app, and made user account since I never used before, linked my email, and then infinite “wait” wheel. Whe I don’t tap on the link, and open the app separately, it shows no showing time confirmation at all. When I remove the app, and tap the link and show on Safari, works immediately. Fix your app.

As a professional software tester and selling my home I was so impressed. My whole family could easily respond to requests and see the daily calendar so we knew who was coming to our home. It helped me sell my home quickly over list price!

All you can do is just ‘yes’ or ‘no’ when you receive a showing request. You can’t write down any note nor ‘communicate’ like counter request for another showing time appointment. When I have to decline a showing request due to time conflict, I couldn’t write down anything and my realtor also didn’t do anything but wait. It looked declined by a seller without any reason. And later, we found that the buyer’s realtor was very angry. And it’s very unreliable. Yesterday, we haven’t received any text. Maybe realtors like this app because it can save their time, but as a seller, I don’t like this app.

With today’s technology I don’t understand why this app doesn’t have a calendar integration. Without that it’s not worth more than 3 stars. Update. Got response from Support that pointed out I had missed the calendar sync. If you don’t use Apple Calendar it’s easier to do it from their website instead of app as it pushes you do it through Apple calendar first but the calendar integration works great once set up. Thanks

As a seller, this app idea is very good. Problem though is realtors need to support it better. Out of 11 showings, only one realtor responded with a showing finished update. And the realtor reviews after the showing are sparse and generally delayed a few days. In fact, I believe my listing agent is providing the reviews after doing a phone call followup with the showing agent. Realtors should realize this is s good tool for the sellers and learn to make an app like this a part of their selling processes. All would benefit.

This app is such an excellent tool to manage showings. I have used it extensively to help keep my family in the know of when an what is going on. Great tool to track information about number of showings etc. Allows me to feel as though I have a “ Hands On” part of my home selling process. Plus it allows me to track who is coming and going while I’m away.

Something that would make this app amazing would be if the realtors could log in and out so you know they actually came and when they leave so the homeowners know. That way they can return home and not be waiting around to come back if the realtor has already left.

Love this app, as we had many appointments in a day. Easy to communicate as a seller with buyer agent and leave notes. The only thing I wish is that there was a calendar to see all appointments at once. Also wish buyer agents would use the feature to let us know when they finished early as waiting to get back in house.

The notification badge consistently gets stuck. The support solution is to just wait for the next one to come in and clear it. The next one clears the last one but then gets stuck itself so there is always a badge. It’s impossible to tell if there is a new notification or a stuck one and so renders the badge useless. This has been an issue for months and needs to be fixed. The “solution” is not a solution.

I’ve found the app extremely easy to use. We even accidentally canceled a showing and I was able to call the app support and had someone on the phone quickly to move the showing out of the cancel state and see if the showing agent was interested in reconfirming.

I love this app. Everything at your fingertips. Know exactly when the realtor is coming with a potential buyer. As a seller you have full control on the dashboard providing the ability to confirm, deny or reschedule. I love it. This is truly a simple way of managing viewings by potential buyers

I love getting a text asking if a certain time is available for showings! I have the option to confirm, decline or suggest another time. It makes it easy to keep track! Sold my house at full list, two days after we listed it in the MLS, and having this app made it so easy for both my realtor and I!
