How quickly should my listing agent respond to showing requests?

Within minutes, not hours. High-intent buyers frequently schedule showings at multiple competing properties simultaneously - the first listing that confirms gets the appointment. Automated scheduling platforms eliminate this delay entirely by allowing buyer agents to self-book within your availability parameters. If your agent is still managing showings via phone and email, you are losing appointments to faster-responding competitors.
