No Images? Click here Q: I hear so many brokers complain about the ShowingTime button being misused. For example, I print my listings, go to call, but then I see the ShowingTime button. I have to log in, click on the Schedule a Showing link and the instructions indicate I have to call or text the broker. This should be put in the showing instructions, right? Can we please establish a policy about this? A: Explaining will probably start a stampede of brokers doing the same thing, but here goes! The use of ShowingTime's "Schedule a Showing" link is useful in many ways:
It is a scenario that allows the listing agent a little flexibility, but still has the advantages of request recording and feedback collection! Q: How do I open multiple tabs in connectMLS? A: This is a cinch. You will find these links under your initials/photo in the upper right hand corner of connectMLS. You can also use "Ctrl + K" or "Command + K" on Apple computers to open a new work space as well. Q: Is there a category in connectMLS for Rent with Option to Buy? A: Of course, of course. There are actually two options! Option 1: Search listings for sale and add SALE TERMS: Option 2: Search listings for rent and add LEASE TERMS: Option 3: If neither of the above produces any results, you can always make the owners an offer!
