  6. It is preferable to optimize your route by clicking the Optimize button before selecting showing times—the first listing in the tour will always be your starting point and will not change when you optimize

    *Note: You can click and drag listings to manually reorder the route. If the optimize button is greyed-out, this means that the most optimized route has already been selected.

  7. Clicking the Directions button will open a new tab with all of your listings and stops pre-populated in Google Maps, ready to navigate or print

 

Submitting showing requests

  1. Select times for your showings using the "Select times v" dropdown under each listing address

  2. Once you've selected at least one showing time, the Send Requests button will enable—click on it

  3. Verify that the tour properties and times look correct, then click Send Requests once more

  4. You will be able to see the status of your showing requests under the Showings or Dashboard tab, and will receive showing confirmations via your preferred method as normal

 

Editing an existing tour

  1. From their Dashboard

Method #2:

A tour cannot exist without any listings or stops in it. Empty tours will automatically be deleted when the agent removes the last listing by clicking the “x” next to the listing address.

Clicking the “x” will prompt the following warning modal to appear:

Click Delete Tour to confirm.

*Note: If you have any pending or confirmed showings associated with this tour, you will be prompted to select a reason for cancellation and your showings will be cancelled in bulk.
