We mistakenly announced that home inspectors must make an appointment through ShowingTime.
The rule: “the person opening the lockbox must be the person who made the appointment” DOES NOT REQUIRE the use of ShowingTime.
As long as the person opening the lockbox is the person who makes the appointment, whether through ShowingTime, the buyer agent or the listing agent, compliance with the rule above is demonstrated. Inspection appointments can still be scheduled by telephone, text message and email.
Remember: Clear communication between agents and inspectors over whose responsibility it is to schedule the appointment is essential!
