Don't miss showings again, let Centralized Showing Service, the premier outsourced showing service take your calls.

Interviewer:   Hi I am Kathy Soltero with MetroBrokersTV.com.  Today, we are at the 2012 Metro Brokers Annual Meeting at the Wellshire Event Center here in Denver, and we are talking with some of out great sponsors of the event, and with Centralized Showing, we've got Gerry Powers.  Gerry, thank you so much for being one of our great sponsors. 

Gerry Powers:  Well we enjoyed being here.  Metro Brokers is a great institution, I am surprised it's not outside of Colorado, I really am. 

Interviewer:   Tell me about Centralized Showing; tell me about how the company works, and where you are at?

Gerry Powers:  Centralized Showing has become pretty much America's premier outsourced showing service.  We have got over 140,000 members nationally, we've got six call centers in the United States, and basically we just take the calls for the agents or the front desk.  So they are not missing any calls that that's the big thing.  And we are open 8 in the morning to 8 o'clock in the night, Denver time, so that works really well for them. 

Interviewer:   That makes a big difference if you are out showing properties later in the evening, even when offices are closed, it kind of helps. 

Gerry Powers:  Well I mean, I hear a lot of agents say, no I do this myself, and I say, so you answer your phone when you are in a closing, when you are with the seller, when you are with the buyer, when you are at your daughter's birthday.  "No."  Well then you see you are missing showing calls, and it's as simple as that, so. 

Interviewer:   So you guys have been in business for a long time, and serving realtors really well. 

Gerry Powers:  You know the company has been around for 15 years, I think we have really kind of come in to our own in the last couple of years.  We now have a system where we record everything. You know whatever goes wrong, it's our fault right, even when agents don't show up to show the property, that's our fault.  So we have a recording system that takes care of all that. 

Interviewer:   Well we really appreciate you being a continued supporter with Metro Brokers, and thank you so much for being here today. 

Gerry Powers:  It's our pleasure, thank you.

Kathy Soltero interviews 2010 Annual Meeting sponsor Gerry Powers with Centralized Showing Service, who provide easy scheduling services.

Kathy Soltero: Hi, I'm Kathy Soltero with Metro Brokers TV. Today we're at our 2010 annual meeting and we're talking with some of our promoters and today we have Gerry with us. Gerry, thanks so much for being one of our special promoters.

Gerry Powers: Thank you.

Interviewer: And tell me a little bit about your company.

Gerry Powers: Our company is called Centralized Showing Service. It's been in business for about 15 years. Our corporate head office is in Kansas City, but we've got six call centers in United States, which is one of the biggest benefits of the company. So if we have a little problem in one of our call centers, we've got five others that we can pile on, so there is no interruption.

Interviewer: How would you say you benefit Metro Brokers' agents members specifically?

Gerry Powers: Well number one, having been a top producer and a broker owner myself, I can tell you that most of the agents will tell you that they will get more showings with us. The simple fact is, you can't answer the phone all the time. We do, thats all we do, and that the biggest thing that I emphasize, is thats all we do, is set showings.

Interviewer: Well tell us, if they need to get in touch with you to get more information about Centralized Showing, how can they get in contact with you?

Gerry Powers: They can just contact me via my e-mail, which is very simple: gerryp@showings.com, is Gerry with a G, or they can go on and log on to the website, which is www.showings.com, and they can get all that information, but we have got so many Metro Broker offices and agents anyway that they probably know, you know, what's going on.

Interviewer: Gerry, well, thank you so much for being a sponsor to Metro Brokers. We appreciate it.

Gerry Powers: Our pleasure. Thank you.

Interviewer: And thank you so much for watching Metro Brokers TV.

Metro Brokers TV:  Hi, I am Amy Chase with Metro Brokers TV.  I am here today at the annual Metro Brokers meeting and I am here with Gerry Powers with Centralized Showing Service.  Gerry, welcome.

Gerry Powers:  Thank you.  Nice show.

Metro Brokers TV:  Absolutely.  So, tell us a little bit about your company and how you can best serve Metro Brokers members.

Gerry Powers:  Centralized Showing is America's premier scheduling of showings for agents and agencies and the #1 thing that we deliver for them besides the convenience of never missing a call is we will get them more listings and we will get them more showings and we have seen that through other agencies that we have basically worked with.  So, that's the real benefit that we give to them; of course there is an advanced website that they can tie into, automatic feedback which they don't have to worry about, it automatically goes out, automatically comes back, everybody is kept in the loop, and hopefully, we are getting more sales.

Metro Brokers TV:  Great, terrific and what is the website that we need to visit to find out about your services and to set showings online?

Gerry Powers:  www.showings.com, very simple.

Metro Brokers TV:  Okay, terrific.  Thanks Gerry for joining us.

Gerry Powers:  Thank you.

Metro Brokers TV:  Okay.
