Managing real estate listing showings based on multiple factors

A real estate showing management system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory with stored software that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform operations including at least:
• receiving information about a showing appointment scheduled for a real estate property and associated with a time period and a showing agent;
• creating one or more geo-fences around the real estate property for the showing appointment;
• determining that a mobile device of the showing agent has breached at least one geo-fence of the one or more geo-fences at a time within the time period;
• controlling, based at least in part on the determining that the mobile device of the showing agent has breached the at least one geo-fence, access of the showing agent to the real estate property for the showing appointment, including receiving a notification that a key controller associated with the real property has been opened, and determining that the showing appointment has started based on at least the mobile device of the showing agent having breached the at least one geo-fence and on the key controller associated with the real property having been opened;
• controlling, based at least in part on the determining that the mobile device has breached the at least one geo-fence, one or more electronic devices at, the real estate property to be activated for the showing appointment, wherein the one or more electronic devices include at least one of a thermostat, or a lighting system, or a refrigerator, or a fireplace controller, or a camera system, or a sound system;
• determining, after the determining that the showing appointment has started, that the key controller has been closed, and that the mobile device has breached the at least one geo-fence a second time;
• determining that the showing appointment has ended based on a combination of multiple factors that include at least the mobile device of the showing agent having breached the at least one geo-fence for the second time and the key controller having been closed;
• and
• providing, based at least in part on the determining that the showing appointment has ended, information about the showing appointment having ended.

• controlling, based at least in part on the determining that the mobile device of the showing agent has breached the at least one geo-fence, access of the showing agent to the real estate property for the showing appointment, including sending an access code for a key controller associated with the real estate property to the mobile device of the showing agent;
• determining that the showing appointment has started based on a combination of multiple factors that include at least the mobile device having breached the at least one geo-fence and the key controller having been opened;
• and
• controlling, based at least in part on the mobile device having breached the at least one geo-fence, one or more electronic devices at the real estate property to be activated for the showing appointment, wherein the one or more electronic devices include at least one of a thermostat, or a lighting system, or a refrigerator, or a fireplace controller, or a camera system, or a sound system.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving, by one
• or more computer devices, information about a showing
• appointment scheduled for a real estate property and associated with a time period and a showing agent;
• creating, by the one or more computer devices, one or more geo-fences around the real estate property for the showing appointment;
• determining, by the one or more computer devices, that a mobile device of the showing agent has breached at least one geo-fence of the one or more geo-fences at a time corresponding to the time period;
• and
• controlling, by the one or more computer devices and based at least in part on the determining that the mobile device of the showing agent has breached the at least one geo-fence, access to the real estate property for the showing appointment, including sending an access code to a key controller associated with the real estate property to activate the key controller to provide access to the property for the showing appointment;
• determining, by the one or more computer devices, that the showing, appointment has started based on a combination of multiple factors that include at least the mobile device of the showing agent having breached the at least one geo-fence and providing of the access to the key controller;
• and
• providing, by the one or more computer devices and based at least in part on the determining that the showing, appointment has started, information about the showing appointment.
