5 dotloop Tricks You May Not Know About

Real estate agents and brokers are masters at the art of juggling tasks and documents. But if you’re on the lookout for a few new tricks (who isn’t?), here are some dotloop shortcuts to help you save valuable time.
 

1. Easy Offer™

 
Did you know that dotloop’s Easy Offer™ feature allows Listing Agents of a loop to share a folder and its documents via a direct link? This enables you to quickly and easily share information on your listing at the click of a button with any Buying Agent interested in making an offer.

In addition to the digitization of the documents, “Easy Offer™” disclosures are available to buyers in an interactive document. Information visibility is also controlled at the folder level, which means you can pick and choose which documents are shared and viewed.

There are many other benefits to using the Easy Offer™ feature. For example, the Buying Agent who receives your Easy Offer™ link will:

2. Scan and Sign

Has anyone ever asked you to drive across town because they need your signature on a document? That won’t be the case anymore. Just ask them to take a picture of the document on their smartphone and text it to you.

You can then save the image to your camera roll, import the image into a loop, and edit/add signatures to the document.

3. Templates

When you explain a home warranty to a buyer, chances are they will want to buy one. Home warranty brochures and other service provider documents that are routinely shared with your clients during a transaction can and should be made into templates on dotloop. This will help you avoid any last-minute scramble to track them down or find a printer.

And the best part is that anyone can create document templates. If you’re an office administrator, you can easily share templates with all of the agents in your office. Consider adding service provider templates to your standard office buying and listing packets and watch the adoption of your preferred service providers grow!
