Access Your ShowingTime Account
You can access ShowingTime by clicking the ShowingTime button on your REcolorado CONNECT dashboard. You’ll find it on the second tab, labeled Marketplace Add-On.
Disable ShowingTime for All Listings
Once in ShowingTime, navigate to your profile settings. Look for your name in the left-hand navigation menu. On the Office Home page, you’ll see your basic contact information including your name, phone number(s), and email address.
- Click ‘Edit Profile.’
- On the following screen, scroll down to the section labeled Listing Agent – Showing Preferences. Next to the option ‘Allow Agents To Request Appointments Online?’ click the button next to ‘No’ and save your changes.
- Next, go to Change Default Appt Mode and click the down arrow to select ‘VIEW INSTRUCTIONS ONLY.’
- It is recommended that you add notes to both the ‘Directions to Showing Agent and Access Information’ section and the ‘Archive the Listing’ section to indicate that BrokerBay is your authorized showing service, and that you do not permit any other showing services to schedule showings for your listings.
These steps will ensure no information is given out for showings on your properties.
Pro Tip: If your listing is moved to the Withdrawn or Pending Status and goes back on the market it may reactivate in ShowingTime. If it does, you will need to go through the steps above again.
Disable ShowingTime for an Individual Listing
If you have several listings and want to disable ShowingTime on one of them, you can do so from Listing Setup.

- From the listing page, you’ll see a section labeled ShowingTime Appointment Center.
- To prevent the ShowingTime call center from accepting requests on your listing, select “No” to Allow Appt. Center to Take Appts?
