We’ve only been live with BrokerBay for three weeks, and we're pleased to share that already 63% of Active listings currently have “yes” for the “Use BrokerBay” field. Thanks to our MLS Participants and Managing Brokers for their help in onboarding agents to this latest MLS benefit. We’ve compiled this BrokerBay FAQ to assist with this transition both now and as new agents enter the business.
In 2015 when we converted to Flexmls, we began sending a data feed to ShowingTime and added the ShowingTime button in Flex. However, when launching BrokerBay, we removed the ShowingTime button, and now we need to eliminate marketplace confusion by having all listings populate in two showing platforms.
We will maintain the ShowingTime feed of all listings through October 31, 2022. Each Participant should make an independent decision on whether they wish to continue using ShowingTime after October 31.
If a Managing Broker determines their office will only BrokerBay after October 31, no action is required.
If a Managing Brokerwish determines their office's listings will populate in ShowingTime after October 31, he/she should complete the Broker Back Office data agreement and return it to bethani@gcar.net. We are working with BrokerBay to disable the ability for cooperating agents to book showings when “Use BrokerBay” is “no” in Flexmls. Until that programming is complete, if “no,” listing brokers should (1) Provide alternate showing instructions in the Agent Only Notes and (2) Turn off showings in BrokerBay.
