While ShowingTime and Master Lock collaborated to develop this functionality, ShowingTime Secure Access is designed to be integrated with any Bluetooth-enabled lockbox.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to bring this innovation to our clients who schedule showings and other appointments through ShowingTime,\u201d ShowingTime President Michael Lane said. \u201cUsing Bluetooth technology makes perfect sense in our continued effort to streamline the showing process and create greater conveniences for agents so they can focus on high-value activities.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>ShowingTime Secure Access will be seamless for those using any ShowingTime product, with no additional apps or training required. When a lockbox is linked to a listing within ShowingTime, confirmed appointments will now include a simple in-app button for the buyer\u2019s agent to tap to unlock the home\u2019s lockbox using their Bluetooth connection.<\/p>\n<p>The same capability will be available for other real estate professionals who use the ShowingTime mobile app such as inspectors, appraisers and other professionals involved in the sales process. Temporary access codes will also be available for those who do not use the ShowingTime mobile app.<\/p>\n<p>This new technology also provides enhanced security for properties, as lockbox access is granted based on ShowingTime\u2019s real-time appointment data. Agents will only be able to open the lockbox within a limited time window on the date and time of their confirmed appointment.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, all lockbox activity will be tracked and included within ShowingTime\u2019s Listing Activity Report, giving listing agents and sellers an even more comprehensive picture of who accessed the property and when.<\/p>\n<h3>About ShowingTime<\/h3>\n<p>ShowingTime is the leading showing management and market stats technology provider to the residential real estate industry, with more than 1.2 million active listings subscribed to its services.
