Selling properties or helping your buyers find a property is all about showings. After all, real estate isn't generally something people buy sight-unseen. The logistics of scheduling these appointments is tedious and can significantly siphon away time that could be spent on other important tasks in buying or selling a home. One of the solutions available to help simplify and improve this process is eShowings. I sat down with Jay Lantz, National Sales Director, to learn more about the tools available from eShowings, particularly Show It Now – a tool that is free to MLSs and agents.

A Trusted Partner

In an industry where technology is often a "flash in the pan," eShowings has been in business for 14 years. They have established relationships with MLSs in 38 states, but serve real estate professionals in all 50 states. This experience and the relationships they have formed give them an edge in supporting the real estate community.

How Does eShowings Help Agents?

Basically, eShowings helps with appointment scheduling. Their goal is to improve the process for both the listing agent and the buyer's agent. They accomplish this through:

• Call centers
• Software

With eShowings, an appointment can be made online or over the phone. The call centers are what you want and expect – professionally-staffed, available 365 days a year. The software is where things get more interesting from our perspective. Let's look at one example: Show It Now.
