Is there a buffer time between appointments?
A day full of showings is a sure sign of a hot property, but listing agents or sellers might want to take steps to make sure the listing is kept in order. To accommodate these proactive steps, ShowingTime allows for a "buffer time" that can prevent appointments from occurring back-to-back.
For appointment scheduling, listing agents can configure their listings to either:
- Allow overlapping appointments and notify showing agents when there is an overlap (“Yes, Please tell the showing agent ahead of time”)
- Allow overlapping appointments but do not notify showing agents of an overlap (“Yes, No need to inform the showing agents”)
- Allow one appointment at a time (“No, exclusive showings only”)
The amount of time for this buffer may vary in your market.
