I am a Listing Agent, how does this change impact me?
Please ensure your listing is configured with property access instructions within BrokerBay after you upload it to your MLS. As long as this is completed, there is no impact to you or your business.
I am a Showing Agent, Inspector, or Appraiser, how does this change impact me?
Previously, you might have waited an unreasonably long period of time to have a booked showing confirmed, or experienced showings that never got actioned. You may have called in for updates on these showings and received conflicting messaging as to why. The underlying source of the vast majority of these issues have been identified as Unconfigured Listings. When the change goes into effect, you will see an improved experience with both appointment handling time and the BrokerBay Live Concierge.
