Glossary What is a showing scheduler? A showing scheduler is the person or system that arranges property viewings between buyers, their agents and sellers. The scheduler confirms the requested time against the seller's instructions, sends access details, notifies everyone of changes, and collects feedback afterward, so the listing agent can focus on negotiating rather than coordinating calendars. Updated September 2026 · Reviewed by [Nimra Khalid](https://assistbpo.com/team/nimra-khalid/) ## How does a showing scheduler work? 1. Record each seller's showing rules: notice required, blocked hours, pets, alarm codes and whether they want a call. 2. Take showing requests by phone, text or app, and confirm or propose an alternative within minutes. 3. Send the buyer's agent the lockbox or access instructions only after the showing is confirmed. 4. Text the seller a reminder an hour before and a thank you after, then request feedback from the showing agent. 5. Log every showing and piece of feedback so the listing agent can talk to the seller about price with evidence. ## A worked example A listing agent in Colorado had nine active listings and was answering showing requests during her own buyer appointments. A showing scheduler took over her showing line and ShowingTime account. He confirmed requests within ten minutes during business hours, called the two sellers who had asked for a phone call rather than a text, and sent an evening summary of the next day's showings. Feedback requests went out automatically, and he followed up with a call when nothing came back after 24 hours. Her response time on showing requests dropped from hours to minutes. ## Where does a showing scheduler show up in your tools? Most showing traffic runs through ShowingTime, Aligned Showings or the MLS's built-in scheduler, with lockbox access through Supra or SentriLock. Confirmations and seller updates usually go out by text through the team's phone system or Follow Up Boss. ## Common mistakes - Sending lockbox codes before the seller has approved the time, which sellers rightly treat as a breach of trust. - Letting requests sit for hours while the agent is in a showing, so buyers move on to the next house. - Skipping feedback collection, then having no evidence when the price reduction conversation comes. ## Why does a showing scheduler matter? Every showing request that goes unanswered is a buyer who may never come back. Fast, accurate scheduling protects the seller relationship, keeps showing agents happy to bring clients, and builds the feedback record that makes pricing conversations factual. ## How does AssistBPO handle a showing scheduler?
