ALIGNED SHOWINGS
Want to know more about Aligned Showings? You have come to the right place. You can find product details and FAQs below. As the launch of Aligned Showings approaches (launch date TBD), we will continue to add and update this page.
WHAT IS ALIGNED SHOWINGS?
Aligned Showings is a modern, easy-to-use scheduling platform designed to meet the needs of the real estate industry, allowing agents to deliver exceptional service to their clients. With its intuitive interface, agents can quickly and easily manage showings and view important information at their fingertips.
Aligned Showings is more than a tool for scheduling showings. It is a showing service that puts communication first. The Message system is at the heart of Aligned Showings. All information about a showing is in one easy-to-find location, accessible from the web or mobile app.
WHY ALIGNED SHOWINGS?
Aligned Showings is designed by Metro MLS and our MLS Aligned partners to push the industry forward through quality and modern MLS-owned technology. We built our new showing and scheduling solution with agents and their clients in mind in hopes of helping them improve productivity and communication. The product also retains data control and allows us to provide transparency to our members.
FAQs
Why are we changing to Aligned Showings?
We are changing to Aligned Showings because our current policy does not allow us to purchase products owned or managed by another MLS participant, and the ownership change with ShowingTime requires this decision. Also, Aligned Showings is owned by MLSs. Being a part of this ownership allows Metro MLS to shape and improve the system to meet the needs of our local market.
When will Aligned Showings be available?
We anticipate Aligned Showings being available later this year. By the time the product rolls out in Wisconsin, approximately 75,000 real estate professionals in five markets will have already used the product.
Will ShowingTime still be available?
ShowingTime will be available for a limited time, running alongside Aligned Showings. Eventually, Aligned Showings will be the only showing product offered as a free member benefit through the MLS.
