Mobile Listing Worksheet
Overview (Single Family)
Resource: Office Instruction Form > Listing Worksheet
The Listing Worksheet is the main driver for appointments. Without basic access details, information and instructions, showings cannot occur. When a listing worksheet has been properly configured it requires minimal updates and provides a solid basis for how showings will take place.

Overlapping Appointments
You have 3 options to choose from:
- Yes, No need to inform the buyer's agents
- Yes, Please tell the buyer's agent ahead of time
- No, exclusive showings only
In some markets when Allow Overlapping Showings is set to no, a user will be unable to schedule appointments back-to-back. This is known as buffer time. You can set the length of this time in your profile or on the listing worksheet when the setting is enabled.
Note: When you make a change to a setting on the mobile listing worksheet, you will not see a save button. Your changes are automatically saved once you go back to the previous screen.
Maximum Number of Concurrent Appointments
When overlapping appointments are allowed, the listing agent can determine how many parties can be in the home at the same time. Options include 2-10 appointments maximum as well as no limit. Once the maximum number of overlapping appointments have been scheduled for a time slot, that time will show as blocked/unavailable on the scheduling calendar. However, the listing agent still has the option of scheduling on behalf of another agent in that time slot.
Minimum Appointment Length
You can optionally set a minimum appointment length on your listings to help your sellers understand what to do with a day full of appointments.
When both a minimum appointment length and maximum appointment length are used, the minimum length cannot be greater than the maximum appointment length.
As a listing agent, this setting is available as a drop-down on the listing worksheet. The available options within the dropdown are None, 15 min, 30 min, 45 min, 1 hr, 1hr 30 min, and 2 hrs. When you schedule appointments on behalf of other agents, you will have the option to override the minimum or maximum appointment length for your own listings.
As a requesting agent, you will see the minimum and maximum appointment lengths when scheduling on desktop and mobile. You will only be able to select appointment lengths that match these settings when scheduling and/or rescheduling appointments.
Minimum/Maximum Appointment Length does not apply to Inspections, Walk-Throughs, and Appraisals.
The setting will complement the buffer time, the maximum number of overlaps, and maximum appointment length which already exists in ShowingTime.
