Once the document has been completed, submit for review in dotloop, and our team will review.

- How to create a CMA using CloudCMA
When meeting a potential seller for a listing appointment, you will want to create a CMA- A comparative market analysis. In Real Estate, pricing is an art of comparing apples to apples. There is a great tool on the MLS called “Cloud CMA" where you can find similar properties that have sold, under contract and currently on the market to help your client successfully price the home to sell.

- What steps do I need to take for a new sales listing?
Pre Listing Appointment Prepare a CMA using Cloud CMA – Click here for a video on CMA . Prepare your documents for the seller in dotloop – Click here for a video on seller docs in dotloop . Listing Appointment Be sure to start with a tour of the property. Take notes and ask questions. Now is a great time to feel out the seller and find out their motivation for selling. After your walkthrough sit down and go over the process and set expectations with your client. Explain how you will work for them and what benefit you bring to the table. Now is the time to talk commission. Now it is time to talk about pricing. First ask if they have a price in mind so you know what you are working with. If they refuse to give a price, give your estimated value and use the CMA to explain it. Bring out your laptop or have them use theirs so you can go over the paperwork on dotloop and have them sign it. Go through each piece and explain. Make sure they know to ask you questions as you go through it. If you are not going to list on the MLS within 24 hours of the agreement, get the MLS Listing Exemption form signed. It is located in Kale Realty Documents in dotloop. Next Steps: Secure Photography. Listing on MLS Showings Make sure that you have communication with your client to ensure they are always aware of showings coming up if they are living in the home. If the home is vacant you may find it easier to use the showing service on the MLS to let fellow agents schedule via the MLS. The home should be clean and ready to be shown. Set the expectation with your seller if the property is not vacant. Your seller should never be at the showing. Try not to overlap showings.

- What if I have multiple clients that want to purchase the same property?
Offers to purchase on behalf of two or more clients represented by the same agent for the same property, which the agent believes will be considered by the owner during the same period of time is called a contemporaneous offer. When you find yourself in this situation you need to have permission from both parties to put two offers in from different parties on the same property. The reason for this is because it can become a conflict of interest that your client is not interested in dealing with. If this is the case you will need to refer that client to another agent (always ask for a referral fee!) You can find the Disclosure that you need for this situation in Dotloop. The template will be your association’s forms. The name of the form is Disclosure of Contemporaneous Offers.

- Attorney Review, Inspection, and Appraisal
Attorney review and inspection periods are typically 5 days unless otherwise notated on the contract. The attorney will handle review, and will send extensions (as long as you keep them in the loop) to the other side of the transaction if you need them for the inspection. The inspection should only be attended by the buyer. It needs to be scheduled as soon as a contract is signed. I suggest you talk about this at the beginning of the process so your client is prepared and has someone chosen. Set the expectation right away as to who will be scheduling. The buyer and buyers agent should attend. Don’t forget to schedule if you are the buyer! The appraisal should only be attended by the listing agent. It is recommended you bring comps and chat with the appraiser about their comps so you may be able to point something out.
