SAN DIMAS, Calif., Sept. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Today ShowingTime became the newest addition to the CRMLS Solutions line of products. It had previously only been available via CRMLS's Association Product Co-Op. Due to this re-classification, the scheduling platform is now free for all CRMLS users.

Scheduling showings with clients can be one of the most time-consuming and frustrating aspects of working as a real estate professional. ShowingTime is a scheduling software platform built to save agents valuable time. In contrast to the traditional process, which has buying and listing agents playing phone tag with their clients and each other, ShowingTime allows interested potential buyers' agents to book showings through the MLS not just when the listing agent is available, but at any time. The system is online 24/7 and appointments are confirmed via text, automated call, or mobile app.

"When we saw the rate at which Associations were adopting ShowingTime in the Co-Op, we knew the next logical step was to work to extend the product to all CRMLS users," said CRMLS CEO Art Carter.

As of today's publication, CRMLS has three lines of products it makes available to subscribers. The Solutions line consists of essential core products available at no extra cost to every CRMLS user, while the Marketplace line is for products that are endorsed by CRMLS and may come at a reduced price for CRMLS users. Finally, the CRMLS Association Product Co-Op gives Associations control over the type and variety of products that they offer to members at an Association level. Associations benefit from the reduced product license rates negotiated by CRMLS, and CRMLS contributes toward the cost of products offered through the Co-Op.

ShowingTime's migration from the Association Product Co-Op to the Solutions line is the first of its kind for CRMLS. Will it be the last? "We at CRMLS are always working on providing the best product offerings to our users at the lowest prices," said Carter. "We're always exploring new options."
