Abstract
A specialized server within a real estate showing management system creates a showing appointment for a showing agent to show a listing and a set of geo-fences around the listing when the appointment is created. At a particular time before the showing, the specialized server notifies a showing agent mobile device to download the set of geo-fences and, when requested, provides the set to the mobile device. The mobile device notifies the specialized server when it breaches a geo-fence within the set. When a showing agent is late for a showing appointment, the specialized server automatically reschedules a subsequent showing appointment by an adjusted rescheduling time. The subsequent showing appointment is for the same listing by a different showing agent or a different listing by the same showing agent. Notifications about the rescheduled subsequent showing appointment are also sent to parties.
