How Real Estate Agents Can Market Listings with InstaShow+ HERO

Struggling with missed showings and back-and-forth scheduling?

If buyers and renters don’t know how to book a tour, they won’t—costing you valuable leads.

With InstaShow+, you can streamline scheduling, increase showings, and generate verified leads. But to make it work, you need to clearly guide prospects on how to use it. Below, you’ll find the exact copy to add to your MLS and syndication sites like Zillow, Realtor.com, and Apartments.com. Copy and paste this into your listing remarks right away to ensure buyers and agents know how to schedule a tour.


Step 1: Copy & Paste This into Your Listings

To ensure buyers and renters can easily schedule a tour, copy and paste the following text into your MLS listing’s remarks section. This will also syndicate to platforms like Zillow, Realtor.com, and Apartments.com (if applicable).

In Agent Remarks:

To show this property or have your client self-tour, download the InstaShow+ app from your device’s app store. Create an account to verify your information, then enter the Property ID: [XXXX] (replace with your actual Property ID) or search by address to schedule a tour. There are no costs for agent-led tours. For questions, contact the listing agent.

In Public Remarks:

How to Schedule a Tour: Download the InstaShow+ app, enter Property ID: [XXXX] (replace with your actual Property ID) or search by address, and schedule a tour at your convenience!

In The Listing Agreement: 

Seller directs that all showings and tours be scheduled and/or conducted via the InstaShow+ platform.

Seller understands that, for the purpose of promoting safety, this platform is preferred based on its ability to verify and document the identity of all prospective visitors, providing accountability and secure property access during showings.

Seller authorizes the listing agent to reference this method in public remarks and marketing materials as part of the access procedure. This instruction reflects the seller’s preferred method of access and is not an endorsement or advertisement.

A note to Listing Agents (not to be included in the copy): *In the unlikely event that your MLS questions any public or agent remarks referencing InstaShow+, please provide them with a copy of the signed listing agreement.

Where to Add This in Your Listings


MLS Listings & Syndication Sites

These remarks will automatically syndicate to major listing platforms such as:

• Zillow

• Realtor.com

• Homes.com

• IDX-related websites

For rentals, if you’re using property management platforms like:

• Buildium

• AppFolio

• PropertyBoss

they will syndicate to rental listing sites like Zillow Rentals, Apartments.com, and Zumper.


What If a Syndication Site Doesn’t Allow Marketing in Remarks?

Some platforms restrict marketing language in listing remarks. If that happens, manually update the listing by logging into the syndication site (e.g., Apartments.com) and adding the scheduling instructions there. Now, let’s go over how to update listings manually if needed.


Step 3: Updating Listings on Syndication Sites (If Needed)

Some listing platforms may restrict marketing text in public remarks, meaning your InstaShow+ instructions might not appear after syndication. If that happens, you’ll need to manually update your listing on those platforms.

How to Manually Update Your Listing

If your scheduling instructions don’t appear on a syndication site (e.g., Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals), follow these steps to update them:

1. Log into the syndication platform (e.g., Apartments.com, Zillow, Realtor.com).

2. Find your listing in the dashboard or active properties section.

3. Manually edit the public remarks and add the InstaShow+ scheduling instructions.

4. Save the changes, and check the live listing to confirm the update.

Example Platforms Where Manual Updates May Be Needed:

• Zillow Rentals

• Apartments.com

• Zumper

This ensures that every buyer and renter sees clear tour scheduling instructions—no matterwhere they find your listing.

Next, let’s go over how to use InstaShow+ signage to attract drive-by buyers and renters.


Step 4: Use Signage to Attract More Leads

Not every buyer or renter finds your listing online—many discover properties while driving through neighborhoods. InstaShow+ signage helps you capture these prospects by directing them to schedule a tour instantly using a QR code.


How InstaShow+ Signs Work

Each sign features a QR code that links directly to the InstaShow+ app.

Prospects can scan the code, enter the Property ID, and schedule a tour on the spot—no calls or emails needed.

You receive verified, high-intent leads directly from drive-by traffic.


Where to Place InstaShow+ Signs

For maximum visibility and engagement, place signs:

In front of the property—for drive-by buyers and renters.

At neighborhood entrances—to capture local foot and vehicle traffic.

On directional signs near busy intersections—to increase exposure.

How to Get InstaShow+ Signs

Order sign riders or full signage from the InstaShow+ website.

Use InstaShow+ sign riders alongside your existing company signage.

Download QR codes from the platform and add them to digital and physical marketing materials.

With the right signage, you can turn drive-by traffic into scheduled showings—effortlessly.
