- When I Log In, I Do Not See My Listing(s). What Do I Do Next?
- In order to use Home by ShowingTime, you need to have an email address on file. If you have already created your account, your agent will need to perform a few steps on their side in order for the listing to appear in Home by ShowingTime.
Make sure that you have provided your listing agent with the same email address that you used to create your account. Once they add to the listing on their end, you will be able to use the app to confirm showing requests, view activity on your listing, and set your contact preferences.
This email address is not shared and only your listing agent can see it. - Should I update to the latest version of the app?
- Yes.
As with any app, our developers release updates to add features, improvements, and to address issues. These updates are free of charge. You can check for updates for all of your apps from your device's "app store".
Some application updates (not just ours) may require you to have a recent version of the devices' operating system. You will need to follow your device's manual and best practices to update.
Apps such as content blockers may affect other apps installed on your device You can troubleshoot such possibilities by temporarily disabling these other apps and trying to log in to Home by ShowingTime. ShowingTime will be unable to assist you with updating your device but may be able to offer other troubleshooting steps that you can follow. - What If I don't see showings on my listing?
- All of the showings and status changes of your listing are visible on the listing activity report.
If you do not see your listing or do not see any new activity on your listing, you should contact your agent. Your listing may have been refreshed or relisted in the multiple listing service or a setting may have changed.

Is feedback required?
While an optional service, agents understand the value of feedback. During the appointment, the buyer will often point out things that draw them in. And if your listing isn't right for the buyer, the buyer's agent may still have additional interested buyers. Feedback is not required in many markets.
Agents have additional settings to automatically publish the feedback or hold it for review. In some cases, they may hold the feedback to review with you in person.
Your listing agent may be able to take additional steps to get more feedback from showings. Please contact them to discuss this.
When is the showing over?
The requesting agent can indicate when they are finished showing your listing. When they do, a notice will display in your app so that you can return home.
However, this is a manual process and can sometimes be skipped. In general, agents choose the smallest possible showing window that will enable them to arrive and walk their buyers through your home while respecting your schedule.
Your listing agent can configure your listing with instructions such as smaller appointment windows, reminders to let you know the appointment is over, or indicate preferred showing dates and times.
How can I contact my agent?
In order to contact your agent:
Choose your listing.
Choose Contact next to your agent's picture.
You will have the option to call or email them.
Can I share an account with my family/spouse?
You can provide your listing agent with their contact details. Your agent will then add them to the listing so that they can choose their own notification preferences. Sharing phone numbers may cause problems. One user may want the SMS, and another may not. By using separate details, each user is able to customize their experience.
As an agent which ShowingTime app I should use?
I don't have a strong signal (WI-FI or Celluar) can I still use the app?
Yes. However, please understand that the strength of the signal is related to how fast apps are able to download and upload data. A slow connection might result in missed information. Your device may benefit in moving closer to the source of Wi-FI, a device restart, or updates. ShowingTime Support may not be able to assist you with these tasks.
