MarketStats by ShowingTime Scheduled Maintenance

An Important Notice from ShowingTime


ShowingTime will be performing scheduled maintenance on Sunday, October 13th from 10 pm - 11 pm Central for approximately one hour. Please be aware that your InfoSparks and/or FastStats tool(s) will be unavailable during this period.  

ShowingTime appreciates your understanding while they perform this important maintenance work to ensure they have the highest level of service and uptime in the future.

If you have any questions related to this, please feel free to contact them at stats@showingtime.com.

Coming Soon From ShowingTime: Receive Notifications by Phone for Declined or Cancelled Appointments Only



Soon you will be able to choose to receive automated phone call notifications for certain showing appointment statuses instead of in all instances as before (confirmed, declined and cancelled showings). For those that only want to be notified by phone when a showing has been declined or cancelled, ShowingTime is introducing new settings on the desktop and your mobile device. You can still set electronic notifications to be delivered via email, text or push notification if you wish not to get the automated call. And, you can configure this setting on your mobile device.



We will let you know when this goes live!

You Can Now Hide Listings in Subscription Preview



Starting October 10th, you’ll be able to reject listings in subscription preview mode in Flexmls Web. Preview mode allows you to choose which subscription listing updates are emailed to a contact or displayed in the contact’s news feed.

When Will It Change
These updates will be available on October 10, 2019.

Who Will Benefit
Members who use preview mode for subscription emails will benefit from this change.

What Will Change
Currently in preview mode, you can only approve the listings that you want to send to your client. Unapproved listings that meet the subscription’s search criteria will continue to be displayed every time you preview the subscription.

With this change, a Reject button will become available in preview mode.



When you click Reject, the Hide Listing icon (red circle with a slash) will be selected. The selected listing will move to the Hidden by Agent listing collection for the contact and it won’t be shown again in preview mode.




You can reinstate a hidden listing at any time by going to the Portal tab for the contact in Flexmls. Click on the Hidden by Agent listing collection.




The search results page will open with the listing collection displayed. Click the Hide Listing icon for a listing to clear it and remove the listing from the Hidden By Agent collection.

Why Are We Making These Changes
You told Flexmls that preview mode would be more efficient if you could hide listings that you know will not interest your client. They’re making these changes in response to your feedback.

4 Things You Need to Know About the ShowingTime Mobile App

5 Things You Need to Know About the ShowingTime Mobile App
You may have heard about the ShowingTime mobile app; if you haven’t downloaded it yet, you’re missing out.
Below you’ll find four great things you can do (from anywhere you have your tablet or smartphone handy) on the ShowingTime mobile app:

1. Sync Showings to Your Mobile Calendar

As a real estate agent, you’re constantly on the move. With the ShowingTime mobile app, you’ll never have to worry about missing your next appointment or spending time trying to find the information you need. With a few taps, you can sync your showing schedule straight to your phone’s calendar.
Here’s How: Click on “My Profile & Settings,” then scroll down to “Calendar Sync.”

2. Easily Manage Feedback

Feedback requests and notifications make it easier to give (and get) real-time feedback while the showing is still fresh. From the app, you can both request feedback from showing agents and respond to showing feedback requests. You don’t have to worry about yourself or other agents forgetting about feedback that could potentially be important to sell the listing.
Here’s How: Visit “Feedback” on the main page, where all inbound and outbound requests can be managed.

3. View Reports

You don’t need to worry about being at your desktop computer – you can view listing activity reports right from your mobile device. This can be very helpful when you need some in-depth information in short order.
Here’s How: From the main page, scroll down to “Reports” and select a listing.

4. Search for Listings to Show

Sometimes you may find yourself waiting in the car or perhaps waiting at a listing. You might have to make a quick lunch stop. With the ShowingTime mobile app, you can fill the time by searching for listings in your MLS from wherever you are. Even downtime can be productive!
Here’s How: From the main page, under the “Showings” heading, click “Schedule a Showing.”
