August is almost done and we’ve rolled out some more updates for you to enjoy.
If you’re a current Showing Suite subscriber then you will be pleased knowing these updates are available to you at no additional charge. Not a Showing Suite user? Well then head over to our website, sign up, and you can enjoy these new features as well.
HomeFeedback
Statistics, statistics, statistics! The statistical reports automatically compiled by the system are valuable because they can provide your sellers with a detailed summary of the market’s opinion on their property.
Now getting the statistical reports to your sellers is easier than ever! From the view listings page you can select which listings you wish to print the statistical reports for or email all of the selected sellers at once with the statistical reports just for their particular property.
For those of you who wish to just have the statistical report sent to your sellers on a regular basis, you can schedule your sellers to receive a statistical report, whether it’s daily, weekly, or monthly. This can be done on a listing’s “Edit Property Details” page under the Feedback / Seller Communication Options area.
You can also set yourself to receive a copy of the statistical reports when sending them out to your sellers.
Aside from the statistical report changes, you can now block the showing agent’s first name from being displayed to your seller. This setting is under the feedback settings page: HomeFeedback => General Settings.
Last but not least, two additional columns have been added to the view listings page so you can sort by the MLS # or Seller Name.
Showing Calendar
Want to allow multiple showing appointments to be booked for the same time? Now you can.
Under a listing’s “Calendar Settings” you can select whether you want to allow multiple showings.
If that preference is set to yes then you (or a prospect) will have the ability to schedule a showing appointment at the same time (or overlapping) another. Showing appointments that overlap another will show up on the calendar in red.
Teams and Office Accounts
Team admins can now set the desired preferences for team members under the account for reporting and desktop access. Set whether only the admin can view reporting, or whether team members can see reporting for only their listings or all the listings under the account. Access to the desktop can also be restricted to just the admin if desired.
Admins can also control whether team members get feedback response emails on their listings, all listings, or none at all.
Seller Accounts
We’ve also made some changes to your seller’s side of the calendar.
Not only will the calendar display scheduled showing appointments with showing agents and their buyers, but appointments scheduled for other types (appraisal, inspector, etc) along with any comments you leave for them will also display. When your sellers hover over a showing appointment or comment entry they will see additional details on the entry.

I am wondering why if this new version is so great why haven’t the longest…and most loyal users…been offered the upgrade first?

Hi Brian,
Current users that have been using our 2.0 system will be able to switch to the 3.0 system in the next few weeks. We wanted to make sure that the transition from 2.0 to 3.0 would go as smooth as possible before pushing our users over.
We built the new system in a new platform thus it is not added on for the past subscribers until they are migrated to the new platform. In the interim we tweak the new system and get it ready for all of the 2.0 users when they migrate over. It will happen in September and then you have all the added functionality as we release it. There is a lot on the way. I appreciate your patience.
