What is the best showing management software for real estate agents?
ShowingTime+ is the default choice for most agents thanks to its 300+ MLS integrations and an often-free basic tier for scheduling, feedback, and lockbox access. In markets where SentriLock is the standard lockbox, its free SentriKey Showing Service is a strong alternative that bundles scheduling with lockbox access at no extra cost. TourZazz is the most promising independent challenger but has limited MLS coverage.
How do electronic lockboxes work?
An electronic lockbox holds the property key and opens only for authorized agents using a smartphone app or eKEY device, logging every access with a timestamp and agent identity. Supra eKEY ($15-21/month) is the most widely deployed system, and SentriLock is the NAR-owned alternative that includes free showing management. The access log gives listing agents a record of who entered and when, which improves security and feedback follow-up.
What is the best showing feedback service?
ShowingTime+ collects feedback automatically by texting or emailing the showing agent after each appointment and compiling responses into reports for sellers. SentriLock's Showing Service does the same in its markets at no extra cost. Automated feedback matters because it gives you data-backed talking points for price or condition conversations with sellers, rather than relying on memory or manual follow-up calls.
How much does showing management software cost?
Often nothing for basic scheduling. ShowingTime+ frequently includes a free tier through your MLS, and SentriLock's Showing Service is free to lockbox customers. Lockbox hardware and access carry their own fees: Supra eKEY runs about $15-21/month. For on-demand showing coverage, Showami is a marketplace where licensed assistants run showings for roughly $39-$399 each, averaging around $50.
How do I get showings covered when I cannot attend?
Use Showami, a marketplace that connects you with a licensed local agent to run a showing on your behalf for about $39-$399 per showing (averaging near $50). This is useful for high-volume agents and teams who cannot be in two places at once, or for out-of-area listings. Showami complements scheduling tools like ShowingTime rather than replacing them.
