Showami 4+

Showami (a need fulfilled!)

When I first heard of this app I was very intrigued, I’ve always done side gigs like Uber, Lyft, instacart, Postmates, roadie. Now that I am a realtor, I find this as a great tool for buyer agents as well as showing agents. Showing agents get the chance to get paid doing what we love without much pressure of advising, as their agent. Buyer agents get the chance to maximize direct producing hours through leverage. I did a showing for an agent in Columbia SC, it was an easy, smooth process. I was compensated within a few days. Showami is a great innovation. I am excited to see the growth in this app over the next few weeks! Showami was something the real estate market needed that has now been fulfilled!

Company Doesn’t Pay-App Is Questionable

I’ve been on the Showami platform for a couple years now and never had an issue before. I’m here now because it’s been almost 2 months and I’ve yet to receive payment for a showing I did at first the app showed it like the payment wasn’t collected by the agent who posted the showing opportunity. I contacted her. She said she paid and shared the receipt with me. It took 2 weeks before I received an answer for Showami stating there was a tax document I needed to fill out in the app 🤔 nothing in the app said such a thing. So then they said oh you have to log on to the desktop. So I did. Filled out the tax payer info. Weird. Pretty sure I did that when I signed up. Lady said great, we are sending your payment right away. Weeks later still no payment. I’ve emailed a few times. No response. I called and they said they’ll let the manager know to call me back. No call back. I emailed again recently and I’m told I have to update my payout account info. Um. What?! And I can’t even verify what payment account info I previously entered because the app doesn’t work like that. I have to blindly enter it again and assume it is still in there. I’ve done the payout account updates at least 10 times in the last few months so there shouldn’t be a single thing wrong with my payout account. They won’t respond to my email requests now. I just want my money that’s owed to me.

Developer Response ,

I'm sorry that you had this experience with Showami. We did have a bug in our software that did not send notifications out when you needed to submit the info required for a 1099 ( as you approached $600 for the year ) I remember your account and we did call you back and communicated regularly with you. Up until the threshold was met you were paid exactly as determined. After you updated the 1099 info and changed your bank account for the 10th time the system was still trying to deposit into one of your previous accounts. So in the end we are responsible for our side and you need to take ownership for constantly changing account numbers. What you did was weird. We do respond to your emails. You should respond to our phone calls.

Experience with Showami

My experience with Showami so far has been wonderful. We have found using very detailed instructions has been successful. And using the messaging feature often. Using Showami helped to accomplish multiple showings for multiple clients on the same day and time)

"This service is great for both showing agents and buyers agents. Showami makes it super easy to get someone else to show a house for you when you're busy or out of town, and also a great way to make some extra cash by showing listings to other people's clients."
