I have been trying to set up an appointment to show the address above since 5:30 Sat. evening for a showing on Sunday at 11:00am.  The home is vacant.  It's 10:30 Sunday and I had to cancel the showing because I can't get a hold of the Realtor or the office.  I even sent the agent an email.

 If this were an active Book A Showing listing, my cash investor purchaser would be going through.  He said to me, I thought you guys had a showing system, I had to say only some of us choose to use.  He said that's too bad.

If it happened to me, how many other agents can't show because the office is closed? 

Book A Showing is an MLS wide product that lets only "Licensed Agents" make appointments.  After the showing the showing agents receives email feed request until filled out.  The buyers get appointment information as approved and the sellers, listing agent and assistant receive the showing request as soon as requested and any of them can approve the showing with a click!  Then the reports for offices, purchasers and sellers are amazing

Many agents in Flint MI don't pay the Top Producer fee anymore.  Between Kinnexus MLS software, Book A Showing and Outlook, they said they don't have the need.

Book A Showing, a company that gives back!

I would like to thank the guys at Book A Showing for all they do. Not only do they produce the best MLS showing assistant program and give great technical support, they also give back to those that support them.

I met the guys at Book A Showing about year and a half ago, in Wisconsin at a Regional Women's Council of Realtors® retreat. I slipped them the name of the Flint Area Association of Realtors® AE, Doris Nurenberg. They called Doris immediately. Doris arranged for the Flint Area Association of Realtors® Broker Support Unit to review the Book A Showing product and the product of a competitor. Well, Book A Showing won hands down. Book A Showing put their money and product where their mouth was. They gave us a 90 day free trial to see if the MLS members liked the product. It was a success. The Flint Area Association of Realtors® purchased the product.

Now Doris is in Huntsville, working for the Huntsville Area Association of Realtors®. I am waiting to see how long before Huntsville gets this wonderful product.

Book A Showing then decide to give back. This picture is at the National Realtors® Conference in Las Vegas. Book A Showing is sponsoring the Michigan State Chapter Women's Council of Realtors®. They committed for 4 years of sponsorship.

In return, we do a commercial at every meeting and logo on the website. We will do all we can to see that they get more business from MLS systems!!!

Thank you Book A Showing.

 Who compared BAS and Showing Desk?  The Broker Support Unit (BSU).  All Brokers are invited to the BSU meetings.  All brokers have input.  If your broker was not involved, it’s up to you to ask why.  The BSU reviewed both programs.  BAS has more to offer, per the BSU.

  The BSU looked for a showing product to meet the needs of a desk agent, mobile agent, broker and most important, the client.

 Did everyone involved know the product was just over a year old?  Of course we did.  Just because a product is new doesn’t mean it won’t work or last.  If you think about it, weren’t we all new at some point.  Just because something is old doesn’t mean it is the best.  Do you use a rotary dial telephone?

 BAS is a live program.  Not an offline database.  The information is current with in 2 hours.  Safety is the main goal for me and my clients.  An offline database cannot provide that.  Simply taking a license number by the telephone and verifying on MI Licensure Lookup is not enough.  I had to show people in a demonstration how to look up licenses.  This is not safe for you or your client.

 Have you ever been attacked by a vagrant in a vacant home?  I have.  Once that happens, you look for any way to make our industry safer.  Only members of FAAR have access to the codes in the BAS.  I guess that’s why I am passionate about the program.

 Please remember, I don’t work for BAS.  I am a peer that is attempting to make our MLS system a little better. I do the demonstration on my own time.  What is the reward?  If most the MLS users use BAS, my cell phone bill will decrease, my office will be better organized and my clients will be pleased.

Seller and Purchasers, Complete Realty, LLC is making life easier!!

Complete Realty, LLC will go live with Book-A-Showing August 1, 2007. 

Book-A-Showing can't start up soon enough for Complete Realty, LLC.  We will no longer be taking REALTOR® phone calls for appointments; they will all be through Book-A-Showing.  I will even have the Book-A-Showing on our website.  This is a showing system that does it all.  Sellers will get email or text notification of appointments, be able to approve through the text or email system also.  Purchasers showing file will be kept on-line so any home can be looked at again. 

Seller and purchaser will have immediate access to all feedback and appointments.  Sellers will be emailed all feedback results.  This system emails the showing agent until they respond.  Awesome!

Finally a tool made for desk tops, Smart Phones and the mobile agent.  No more phone calls for feedback or showing vacant homes and with records that will last forever!  I can see the cell phone bills decreasing.   

Safety!  Only agents that are truly licensed will be able to use the system, a safety measure that agents and companies haven't had in the past.  We always verify through the State of Michigan website, but this will eliminate this task. 

Too much to list, please visit  http://bookashowing.com/
