The part of a showing that needs your expertise was never unlocking the door. tourspoke takes that half, on the listings you carry and on the homes you tour with buyers, and hands back a record of what happened.
Agents don't sit on one side of a showing, so nothing here asks you to pick one.
Book on your client's behalf on anyone's listing, and meet them at the house instead of the office. You're both inside on your client's schedule rather than the listing agent's, and the questions your buyer asks mid-tour come back to you in writing.
Verified buyers tour without you driving out to turn a key. You approve every request, so nothing happens that you didn't agree to, and each visit produces the report you'd otherwise be writing from memory in the car.
Drive out, wait, let them in, stand in the hall, lock up, drive back. Do that four times a week across a handful of listings and it's most of a working day.
The listing that's forty minutes out gets shown less than the one down the road, and both sellers paid you the same.
Three parties, one hour, five reschedules. The buyer who wanted Tuesday evening ends up seeing someone else's listing.
Your seller wants to know how it went. You've done four showings since and you're reconstructing it from memory in the car.
Requests come to you. You confirm or decline, and only a verified buyer inside a confirmed window can open the door at all.
If your seller wants a say, you can give them one: let them confirm their own showings, or keep that entirely with you. Same for editing the listing and running the setup. You grant what makes sense for that client, per listing if you want to.
Distance stops mattering. A Saturday can hold as many showings as buyers want to book, across as many listings as you carry, and none of them need you in the car.
Which also means evenings become available. The buyer who could only do 7pm on a Wednesday now sees your listing instead of the one that could fit them in.
Every tour produces one: who came, when they arrived and left, which rooms they spent their time in, what they asked about, and what they said afterwards.
Send it to your seller as it is. It's a better answer than the one you were going to give from memory, and it turns the price conversation into a conversation about evidence.
You go out once. Upload or capture the floor plan, walk the rooms so the app learns the layout, hang the smart lockbox on the door, and set a few Bluetooth beacons down in the main rooms. That's what lets the tour know where a buyer is standing.
After that the listing tours on its own for as long as it's on the market. That's the trade: one appointment up front instead of one per buyer.
It cuts out the driving. Nothing about pricing a home, marketing it, reading an offer, or negotiating a deal changes, and those are the parts a seller is actually paying for.
What it does change is how many buyers get through the door, and how much you know about them afterwards. Both of those make you more useful to the seller, not less.
Then be there. Self-guided is an option on a listing, not a rule about it. Plenty of tours should still be accompanied: first-time buyers, unusual properties, occupied homes with a nervous seller. Use it where it helps.
You confirmed them. Every buyer clears identity and background verification before they can request anything, you see who they are when the request comes in, and the tour record shows when they arrived and left.
Set the hours their home is available and be out during them. If they want more involvement than that, you can grant it: confirming their own showings, editing the listing, and take it back if it isn't working.
Yes. You can book showings on behalf of a buyer you represent, on anyone's listing, and see their tours in the same place you see your own listings' showings.
Set a listing up once and let verified buyers tour it on their own time, with a written record of every visit.
