How to Implement Centralized Showings Without Losing Control of Your Leads

Step 1: Choose a Platform That Prioritizes Agent Ownership

Not all centralized showing systems are built equally. Some are simply tools for scheduling. Others double as data-collection machines—for other companies.

That’s why the first step is to adopt a platform that aligns with your values and priorities.

InstaShow+ was built specifically to keep control in the hands of agents and brokerages.
That means:

• You own every lead and contact—no resale to Zillow or third parties
  
• You decide who tours the property, and when
  
• You manage the showing process at scale, without losing your edge
  

It’s a centralized system that amplifies your brand, not buries it under someone else’s.

Step 2: Set Up Smart Workflows With Flexibility Built In

Tech-forward doesn’t mean rigid. One of the biggest benefits of InstaShow+ is that you can tailor your workflows based on:

• Team structure
  
• Listing volume
  
• Preferred buyer interactions
  

Whether you want to allow agent-to-agent only, or also empower agent-to-buyer scheduling (a feature ShowingTime doesn’t offer), you can configure your account to support your process, not force a new one.

And for drive-by leads? Enable QR code self-tours with ID verification to capitalize on spontaneous interest—without requiring someone from your team to drop everything.

Step 3: Prioritize Safety Without Sacrificing Speed

One of the biggest concerns agents have about self-guided or buyer-led showings is safety.

That’s why InstaShow+ integrates ID verification into every visitor interaction—whether they’re scheduling a tour or unlocking the property via sign rider QR code. You’ll always know who’s coming, and when.

This reassures agents and clients alike, especially in markets where fraud and impersonation are growing concerns.

Step 4: Train Your Team—Then Let the Platform Do the Heavy Lifting

Centralized doesn’t mean complex. Onboarding your team with InstaShow+ is straightforward, and once in place, the system removes repetitive tasks like:

• Confirming appointments
  
• Chasing showing feedback
  
• Verifying buyer identity
  
• Logging every lead and showing in a central dashboard
  

Your team stays focused on closing, not coordinating.

Step 5: Let Centralized Showings Power Your Lead Generation

Here’s where InstaShow+ breaks the mold: it’s not just a showing tool. It’s also a lead-generation engine.

With built-in tools like:

• QR-enabled sign riders for drive-by leads
  
• Automated lead capture and follow-up
  
• Reporting that tracks activity and engagement
  you’re not just booking showings—you’re creating and converting opportunities.
  

Every scan, every showing, every ID check becomes a touchpoint in your sales process.
