Take Showing Requests While You Are With Another Buyer
Your receptionist handles showing inquiries when calls forward to it, so a buyer can explain their request while you are occupied. You receive the details and the agreed next step after the call.
- Identify the property
Ask which listing or yard sign prompted the buyer's call.
- Collect the request
Take preferred timing and callback details for the agent.
- Choose the next step
Book under your rules or collect a callback message.

Showing intake gives you a property reference and a clear request to act on. A caller may have a street name and a Saturday afternoon in mind but still need help explaining exactly what they want to arrange.
Your receptionist asks the intake questions you set, then follows your booking policy. If you want to confirm showing arrangements personally, it takes a message with the buyer's preferred time and contact details. You can return to that request after your current appointment with the context already recorded.
Move From the Property Question to the Next Appointment
The call moves from a clear greeting to your intake questions and booking instructions. Your receptionist identifies itself as a virtual assistant, announces recording, and gathers what you need for the next step.
- Start clearly
Tell callers they are speaking with a virtual assistant and being recorded.
- Gather useful details
Ask about the property, preferred timing, and callback number.
- Record the outcome
Send the summary, transcript, recording, and urgency tag after the call.

Your instructions determine whether a showing inquiry becomes a calendar appointment or an agent callback. For a Saturday request, the receptionist first collects the property reference and timing, then uses your booking policy to guide the conversation.
An appointment can be booked into Google Calendar when your instructions allow it. If you need to check arrangements before agreeing, the receptionist gathers the request for you instead. The email and app push alert includes the call summary, urgency tag, transcript, and recording, so you can check what was requested and what the caller was told.
Set Your Booking Policy Before Calls Go Live
You control the business information, intake questions, booking approach, and urgent-call contacts your receptionist uses. The onboarding chat and your website supply the starting information; you can update settings in plain words.
- Explain your process
Tell the AI which appointments it may book during intake.
- Name your contact
Set who receives an urgent transfer and in what order.
- Test your instructions
Make a setup call before forwarding real showing inquiries.

Setup starts with a 10-15 question chat about your business and the website content you provide. Explain your service area, hours, showing-request intake, and which questions should go to you before an appointment is agreed.
You also choose all-call forwarding or coverage for no-answer, busy, or after-hours calls. Give urgent calls a destination and test the process before going live. For the forwarding steps and setup sequence, read how your receptionist gets started, then adjust the instructions by telling the AI what needs to change.
Keep Property Access and Buyer Agreements With the Agent
Your receptionist handles intake and calendar booking; you handle property access, buyer agreements, and transaction advice. A booked calendar appointment does not establish permission to enter a home or complete the agent's agreement process.
- Leave agreements to you
The agent handles buyer paperwork and compensation discussions.
- Confirm property access
A calendar appointment does not establish permission to enter.
- Keep answers factual
Route value opinions, pricing strategy, and negotiation questions to the agent.

The agent handles the buyer-agreement step before a tour where it applies. NAR's buyer-agreement policy requires MLS participants working with a buyer to enter a written agreement before touring a home together, including live virtual tours.
Your receptionist does not explain agreement terms or discuss commissions and compensation. It also leaves value opinions and negotiation to you, and gives no judgments about neighborhoods, schools, safety, or who a home suits. If a caller needs an answer outside the approved information, it takes the question for your callback.

Quick answers
Can it book showings while I am with another client?
It can book appointments into Google Calendar using the instructions you provide once your calls forward to it. If you need to confirm the showing personally, it takes the property details, preferred timing, and callback number instead. You decide which approach fits your process before going live.
Does a calendar booking confirm that the buyer can enter the home?
A calendar booking records an appointment under your instructions. It does not establish property access, seller approval, or completion of your buyer-agreement process. Keep those checks with the agent and set the receptionist's booking policy accordingly. The caller should understand which next step has actually been agreed.
Will it answer listing price or value questions?
It can answer from the information and price policy you supply, without offering an opinion on a home's value or recommending a pricing strategy. If a question needs your judgment or information you have not provided, your receptionist takes it for your callback. Negotiations and compensation discussions stay with you.
Does it book through ShowingTime or my real estate CRM?
Appointment booking is available in Google Calendar at launch. We do not yet have direct connections to ShowingTime or real estate CRMs. Your call summary supplies the details you can enter into your existing process, or you can have the receptionist collect showing requests for your callback instead of booking.
Can Spanish-speaking buyers ask for a showing?
Your receptionist speaks English and Spanish, and a caller can switch languages during the conversation. It follows the same business information and intake rules in either language. Use your setup test call to hear a showing request and check that the property reference, requested timing, and next step are clear.
How do I see what the buyer requested after the call?
You receive an email and app push alert with the summary, urgency tag, transcript, and recording. The dashboard also holds your call records, and a daily digest arrives by email. Review the conversation when you need to check a property reference or confirm what the caller was told before you respond.
