How Do I Prevent Showing Requests on My Listing?


Seller and agent schedules vary from day to day. ShowingTime provides a way for agents to change the way appointments occur, which differs from the day-to-day standard ones. You can set an Appointment Restriction to prevent showings when:
  • you need time for painting/cleaning
  • it is time to take care of children/family
  • in the early mornings
  • or late at night
  • for Holidays/Special Events
  • and more...
You can prevent showings for a few hours of a day, a few days of a week, or even a week or two out of the month. From the Listing Setup tab of the listing worksheet, select custom rules from the Availability section.

You can select to allow your rule to take place all day or for a range in time. You can create multiple rules for the same day.
When choosing dates, you can select consecutive days or specific dates for each restriction.

Remember to save the rule. Rules will only affect appointments scheduled after the rule has been saved. You will need to update any appointments that existed before you added the rule.

You can add multiple rules.
