What Is a Custom Status?

Sometimes a listing is off-market for a few days and showings need to be prevented for a short time. With Front Desk, your office manager can set up custom statuses to prevent appointments temporarily or for a longer-term. These custom statuses can be created and/or edited in the ShowingTime Front Desk Control Panel. 

ShowingTime asks three basic questions when creating a custom status.
  • Is the listing showable?
  • Is there a listing agreement between the seller and the office?
  • Is the listing already sold or just a few steps away from being sold?

You will need to provide a name for the custom status that your office will understand and then choose the correct combination of settings.

  • Is Showable - Is the listing available for an appointment?
  • Has Listing Contract - is everything set up between the seller and the listing office to allow for a sale?
  • Has Sales Contract - Is the listing sold or pending?



Please Note: Incorrect configuration of the status can block appointments or hide listings. You can work with ShowingTime Support to configure custom statuses.

When the status changes in the multiple listing service and syncs with ShowingTime, your custom status will be cleared.
