It’s no secret that showings are the most delightful part of the home buying journey.
And while buyers can search what’s for sale and see how much they can afford, they still have no idea when their favorite homes are available for a tour.
What if looking at homes online made it easier for buyers to look at homes in person?
Today we’re proud to announce that West + Main Homes is displaying real-time tour availability for listings in Colorado to help book showings faster.
No more back and forth
As we head into a competitive spring market, after months of volatile interest rates (and years of showing restrictions), buyers are eager to visit homes in-person with REALTORS® again.
Registered clients can now request appointments without checking anyone else’s schedule first, thanks to an API integration by ShowingTime and Real Estate Webmasters (REW).
How it works
REW receives real-time information about listings managed by ShowingTime and displays a calendar on westandmainhomes.com that identifies upcoming availability.
Buyers can reserve a verified time slot when reaching out to their agent at West + Main, without having to worry about when each home is prepared to host a tour.
"What I love about this new feature is that it perfectly aligns with a new normal, where consumers expect digital efficiency and transparency when engaging with brokers,” said Morgan Carey, CEO of REW.
Listings not managed by ShowingTime will display a standard contact form.
Real-time availability not only improves the home shopping experience - it helps agents schedule more appointments with buyers, and at their listings, during a critical shift.
