ShowingHero

ShowingHero is a leasing and showing automation platform used by property managers and real estate agents to handle prospect scheduling and communication for rental and sale listings. The product acts as an always-available assistant: it responds to inbound leads instantly, lets operators build personalized showing schedules, sends customized email and text notifications, pre-screens tenants or buyers, follows up after each showing and nurtures prospects through the leasing cycle. The company positions the platform as removing repetitive leasing tasks so agents can focus on conducting showings rather than answering leasing calls and confirming appointments.

The platform is delivered through a client portal with more than 50 customizable features. Documented capabilities include configurable screening-question groups with qualifier questions that gate scheduling, agent mini-calendars, two-way synchronization between an agent's Google Calendar and ShowingHero, editable email templates and notification controls, MLS agent and vendor registration, prospect communication preferences, and a geo-fencing control that restricts scheduling to prospects physically located in the same state as the property as an anti-fraud measure. Self-guided touring is supported through integrated codebox/lockbox handling: prospects schedule a slot, complete identity verification where required, receive confirmations and reminders by SMS and email, and are issued access codes that expire at midnight on the day of generation or two hours after first use, with a cap of 14 unique codes per lockbox per day. Subscription and payment settings are managed by property managers through a billing section of the portal.
