We are pleased to announce that we have enhanced the way that clients (buyers and sellers) view, edit and sign documents using DotLoop, making it even easier for agents to connect with their clients! The new look and feel was designed with simplicity in mind and boasts a new interface and more streamlined signing process. These enhancements will make it easier for agents to acquire signatures and make the transaction process smoother than ever.  See video below or here

 

 

DotLoop directs buyers and sellers through the signing process with a more precise workflow and calls attention to spots they have missed, making life easier for agents.

Finally, the enhanced attachment feature allows clients to fill in text fields and checkboxes. For agents using PDFs attachments in their transactions, this accommodation greatly enhances the DotLoop experience for all users.  Stay tuned for more interface enhancements in the upcoming months.   

 

 

The real estate industry is as competitive as it’s ever been. For many REALTORS, success requires working smarter, a tough skin, courage, and innovation. The difficulties and frustrations of a highly competitive atmosphere make it all too easy for work to dominate our lives. Other aspects of life can get easily pushed aside when you need to head back out the door to meet with a client or stay up late to work on marketing strategies or through an outdated transaction process from the stone age. The high stress load, deadlines, choke points in your business process and use of technology can block out many of the good things in life.

This is unfortunate and unnecessary. At the end of the day, we choose to think, react, and work in a certain manner so this post is just a reminder to take time out to be thankful for all of the good things in life. A healthy body and mind, the deep seated joy of raising a child, support from loved ones, and every little success all deserve recognition. Taking time out to reflect on your good fortune and focus on what’s working for you just might offset the stress and frustrations associated with your workday. Reminding yourself of the good things in life and leveraging technology designed to simply your life, will help to overcome whatever challenges you face.

Reflect on your good fortune and reduce stress with real estate technology designed to simplify your life.

Have you ever wondered what the "Movement" is all about, how DotLoop works, or the problem we strive to solve?

Watch the video to see how DotLoop works in 3 minutes or less. 

DotLoop is at the center of a movement occurring within the real estate community. In the past, real estate agents used multiple technologies for on-line forms, electronic signatures and document storage. Unfortunately, more technologies (online forms systems, transaction management solutions, document storing platforms, electronic signature solutions, etc) create more headaches and more work. DotLoop allows all parties, regardless of location, to work together as if they were sitting at a virtual conference room table. No single technology, besides DotLoop, bridges the gap to allow them to seamlessly interact together. Each time an agent begins a transaction, a Loop is created. And Loops are expanding rapidly. 

It's a real estate movement like Facebook, LinkedIn, or Wikipedia, where the benefit is greater as more people work together. 

 

 

In honor of Veterans Day and the people who have served our country, here is a quote from General George Patton Jr.: "If everyone thinks alike, someone isn't thinking".

General Patton was essentially referring to the importance and challenge of innovation. It requires time and effort to think differently but the pay-off can be manifested in success and higher revenue. This past week, we recognized the importance of being innovative and started out with an article that focused on the benefits that come from of thinking outside the box.

On Tech Tuesday, we talked about how small innovations can lead to very productive results. The example given was including a helpful byline with every single email. This little innovation is especially helpful for realtors because it can strengthen relationships with clients.

The social media article for this week dealt with the power of customer testimonials and how social media is perfect for this invaluable type of marketing. YouTube was mentioned as a place where satisfied clients can be encouraged to leave comments although this can also be done with other social media sites.

Innovation is a hallmark for success. A big part of being creative and adopting new strategies involves using newly developed tools. Real estate technology designed by Dotloop is one such tool that promotes innovation and therefore results in higher productivity.
