Welcome back to your next step in the selling process, where Avatar Bob breaks down everything you need to know about showings. Now that your home is on the market, interested buyers will use our system called ShowingTime to schedule appointments to see it in person. We want to keep you in the loop, so you’ll receive an invitation to download the “Home by ShowingTime” app to manage these requests easily.

• ShowingTime App: You will get an instant notification for requests, and you can approve, decline, or suggest a new time right from your phone.
• Show-Ready Expectations: Appointments typically have a one-hour window; please make sure the home is ready and that everyone, including pets, is out for the duration.
• Secure Access: The buyer’s realtor uses a secure electronic key to open the lock box and access your front door key.
• Timing & Delays: Buyers often tour homes back-to-back, so they might arrive a little past their scheduled time, but they cannot enter early and must ask permission if delayed.
• Legal Note: In Minnesota, using security video is allowed, but recording audio without consent is illegal.
• Feedback: ShowingTime automatically requests feedback from the buyer’s agent, which we typically receive the next day.
