As we continue to adapt our business practices to protect our buyers and sellers during the current COVID-19 surge, the SWMLS Board of Directors has implemented several changes for in-person showings.

The global settings in ShowingTime have been updated to reflect:

• Default showing durations of 30 minutes
• No overlapping showing appointments

At the current time, the GAAR and SWMLS Board of Directors strongly discourages In-Person Open Houses. To comply, the In-Person Open House feature in Flexmls has been disabled until further notice. CLICK TO READ MORE.

SWMLS would like to remind you of the following protocols for qualified buyers:

• ALL showings should be scheduled in ShowingTime (this includes vacant, as well as occupied). Please do not use language such as: “VLB, go and show anytime” in the showing instructions. 
• Abide by your appointment time and any showing instructions*
• Download the ShowingTime app so that you can easily modify showings if you are running late
• Do not enter a property if another group is inside
• Limit your showings to 5 or less total (this includes broker)
• During a showing, masks must be worn by all persons
• Only the showing broker should open and close doors for buyers to limit touching of surfaces

*As a condition of SWMLS membership, subscribers agree to follow showing instructions as instructed by the listing broker. Violation could result in compliance fines.
