Showing Time offers a Pre-Scheduling form prior to all showings being booked via Showing Time.
The form editor is available to office staff and managers. You can find this form under the Showing Time Office Setup menu option. Typical usage of this form is a Covid Safety Acknowledgment message.
As of February 1, 2021, you can turn on a COVID-19 Health Check Pre-Scheduling Form for your office. When enabled, when a buyer’s agent schedules a showing through ShowingTime, they must first read and ‘Approve’ the form. If they ‘Decline,’ it will return the agent to the scheduling request screen.
We have a default COVID-19 Health Check Questionnaire that is available to use or you may create/update your own. Click here to jump ahead and learn how to do change it.
