Listing Agent Preferences
At the top of the preferences, you can allow agents to request appointments online. If your market does not allow in-person showings, you can select Virtual Showings Only. You can have different settings for a listing by configuring the listing worksheet for that listing.
The default appointment mode can also be set at the listing level. A chosen mode will streamline the appointment process by notifying and asking for approval (when configured) for appointments.
Some markets have both an agent-only MLS site and a public one. With additional configuration*, the public one can allow buyers to request showings on your listings. In these markets, an additional switch will appear so that an agent can optionally decide to enable or disable the ability for buyers to request showings.
*Settings and features are determined by your association or board and may not be available in all markets.
Buffer Times
When exclusive only appointments are selected and buffer times are enabled in your market, you will be able to select the amount of buffer time or time between appointments. Buffer times are not enabled when overlapping showings are allowed.
Maximum Concurrent Showings
When overlapping appointments are allowed, the listing agent can determine how many parties can be in the home at the same time. This default setting will apply for all listings. Options include 2-10 appointments maximum as well as no limit. Once the maximum number of overlapping appointments have been scheduled for a time slot, that time will show as blocked/unavailable on the scheduling calendar. However, the listing agent still has the option of scheduling on behalf of another agent in that time slot. This setting can also be changed on the listing worksheet.

Account
Default Appointment settings
Whether you are an agent, an inspector, or an appraiser, setting up the default appointment type and length saves you time while scheduling. For example, you prefer to schedule 1 hour-long showings. Rather than spending additional time selecting a "showing" and "1-hour" duration from the drop-down menus while scheduling, these values will be pre-filled for you, if the defaults are set in your profile.
If your default appointment length exceeds the time limit set by the listing agent of a property you are trying to schedule an appointment for, the listing agent's limit will take precedence.
