Are your buyers unable to make it to a scheduled showing? Or your sellers unable to show their home when a showing has been booked? Did you cancel the showing? Not only is it courteous to cancel a showing request if the appointment cannot be honoured, it’s also required according to RAHB’s Rules & Regulations:
“Section 8 – Selling Procedures
8.04 If a Member is unable to keep an appointment, the Member shall:
(i) where the appointment was made directly with the Listing Brokerage, advise the Listing Brokerage, or if direct contact with the Listing Brokerage is not possible, advise the Seller directly; or
(ii) where the appointment was made directly with Seller as permitted under these Rules, advise the Seller directly.”
If you’ve booked your showing request in ShowingTime, you can also cancel it in ShowingTime. Here’s how:
1. Log in to ShowingTime from the Tools menu in Matrix. As ShowingTime is an SSO (Single Sign-On) link, no additional login information will be required.
