No more "Withheld" option

You may notice the "Withheld" option has been removed when setting up an appointment now in BookAShowing.com. While this request originated from the Board office, we think its a valuable move to make the system more useful. You now need to add your client's information in order to setup any appointments.

Why is this a good idea (and very safe)?

1. Procurring cause. Setting up your client and setting up appointments for them proves you've worked with them, what you've shown them, etc.

2. We never show ANY contact information about your clients to the listing agent. Just their name is displayed.

3. Your clients can get a copy of the email notification to let them know when showings are setup, updated, etc. They can also login to BookAShowing.com (if you provide their email address) and see their showing activity anytime they'd like.

4. Have a client that has looked at many houses? Well if you enter their info into BookAShowing.com when you setup showings, you can print out a detailed report for that client at anytime.

5. Most importantly, its the sellers right to know who is entering their property and when.

You only have to add a client one time and after that, they'll always be available to select from a dropdown menu. Take the time to add your clients (if you haven't already) into BookAShowing.com and make the system that much more valuable for everyone!
