Everyone knows that AC is indispensable during the summer. It takes the heat off, helping you stay cool and maintain focus on things you’re working on.

Did you know that today’s AC can even be carried with you while on the go, accessible with your mobile phone? Is it any wonder why AC will be so relied on this summer among real estate professionals throughout the U.S. and Canada?

Of course, the “AC” we’re referring to is the ShowingTime Appointment Center. But most agents who have made the ShowingTime Appointment Center a key part of their business operations would agree—air conditioning doesn’t compare when it comes to the benefits of the ShowingTime Appointment Center.

Don’t believe us? We put together a few ways the ShowingTime Appointment Center can help you stay cool, save time and enjoy the season.

Go fishing (but not for feedback).

We hear it all the time—it’s tough to get useful feedback on a listing. Of course, that’s not always the fault of the listing agent. Rather, the lack of feedback is often attributable to the fact that buyer’s agents and their buyers are often distracted by additional considerations as they search for a home. Thankfully, the ShowingTime Appointment Center takes the stress of getting feedback off listing agents’ shoulders, with requests sent automatically on your behalf after each showing. It makes it easy for buyer’s agents to let you know how it went.

Soak up some rays (and put your phone away).

Even today where smartphones are so prevalent, many real estate professionals say they’re tethered to their office when they’re anticipating managing a showing request. With the ShowingTime Appointment Center’s 24/7/365 coverage, however, agents can rest easy knowing that they can enjoy the great outdoors without fear that they’ll be missing a call—our professional appointment specialists will take your calls and manage showings on your behalf. It’s like having your own personal assistant, but at a fraction of the cost.

Grow a garden (and your brand).

Every real estate professional knows that referrals are key for future business. One easy way to be sure your clients spread the word about you is to make your brand prominent. Thankfully, with the ShowingTime Appointment Center you can grow your brand without having to lift a finger. Our appointment specialists answer your showing request calls as if they’re in your office, just as if you had a personal receptionist working for you. Feedback requests and reports made with the ShowingTime Appointment Center also display your brand, providing an additional avenue for gaining exposure.

Just because the days are longer doesn’t mean your working hours have to extend to sundown. Take the ShowingTime Appointment Center for a spin and see how it can revolutionize your work routine and give you back your summer.
