HOW TO CREATE A LISTING

1. From the home page, click on Create Listing.

First, you will be able to search for your property's address in the Search for Address window. Thanks to a recent update, creating your Listing is now easier than ever before. Begin typing into the Address field, and you will see search results powered by Google. As search results come up, click on the best match for your property

create_listing_from_home_page_reskin_update.gif

Support Tip: If a correct match doesn't populate, or the property is a land listing that may not yet be "searchable", close out of the Search for Address window to enter the address manually.

2. As shown briefly above, after clicking on the best match for your property address, search results will populate. Depending on the information we are able to find, you will see a few different results that you can use to create your file. You may see:
-The property address found by Google
-The property information found by SkySlope
-MLS Search Results
-zipForm Search Results (if your account is integrated with zipForm)

For example, let's click on the MLS result to proceed with that information.

3. After clicking on the search result, the page will redirect to the Listing Tab. On this tab, the required information is listed with red asterisk (*). Based on the information we are able to find, some of this information may already be filled out for you. Complete the required information, and then click on Next in the lower right corner.

Support Tip: Don't have a year built? Enter "0000". Also, if your Listing Expiration Date or List Price ever change, you can always come back to this page and update your information.

4. After clicking on Next, the Contacts Tab will populate.

contacts_tab.png

There are 3 available contacts in a Listing file, but only 1 is required: the Seller/Landlord. Fill out the required Seller/Landlord info. Then click on Save. If there are 2 sellers, the second seller can be added by clicking on +Add Seller after the first one is saved. After saving the contact(s), click Submit to move forward.

003.gif

Pro Tip: Use the Search Contacts field to fill in names of people added into the Account Directory, or previously entered into SkySlope files.search_contact.gif

Support Tip: Add your client's email address. Even though that field isn't required, it will save a step later in DigiSign! Work smarter, not harder!

5. After completing the Contacts Tab, the Checklist Tab is next. The Checklist is the core of a file in SkySlope. This is where documents are submitted for admin/broker review.

checklist_tab.png

What is a Checklist? It's a list of required documents that are decided by your broker based on the file type. The required documents need to be uploaded and attached to the Checklist in order for the file to be seen as complete and ready to accept an offer. Here's an example of a Listing Checklist: 

004.png

Documents that are marked If Applicable only need to be uploaded if the particular document is relevant to the file you're creating. For example, a Lead Based Paint Disclosure may be marked as If Applicable, and would only need to be uploaded if the house was built pre-1978. 

Not sure how to attach documents? Click here [LINK] to learn how.

Support Tip: See a document that's marked as required that isn't relevant to the file? Leave an "n/a" comment for your admin to see so they can change the status of the Checklist item from Required to If Applicable.


Document Tab

document_tab.png

The Document tab is the section of a property file where all documents are housed. This is a great place to store documents that are related to the file, but not listed on the Checklist. The Document tab can be used to forward documents to DigiSign, break-down large PDF packets into individual documents, and even send emails. 

 

Log Tab

log_tab.png

The Log is where all action taken within a file is stored for compliance purposes. Whenever a change is made, a document is uploaded/unattached, or an email is sent from the file, that action is recorded on the Log. 

 

Tasks Tab

tasks_tab.png

When using Tasks within SkySlope, all tasks assigned to a specific property file can be viewed and managed on the Tasks tab of that file. New tasks and email reminders can be added to help you stay on top of your deals.

 

 

 

HOW TO CONVERT A LISTING INTO A TRANSACTION

If your Listing has an accepted offer, and the buyer's docs are ready to be uploaded, the process is a piece of cake! Keep reading to learn how to convert your Listing into a Transaction, and upload the documents to the Transaction Checklist.

1. Open the Listing file by clicking on Manage Listings on the home page. Locate your file and single-click to open. Once the file is open, navigate to the Checklist tab.

home_page_to_manage_listings_to_640_to_checklist.gif

Support Tip: Not seeing the Accepted Contract button? That means there are still some documents that are still marked as Required. Those docs will need to be uploaded, or changed to Not Required by an admin, before the Accepted Contract button will appear. 

2. From the Checklist tab, click on the button in the upper right that says Accepted Contract. After clicking on Accepted Contract, the file will convert from a Listing to a Transaction and the Transaction tab will generate.

002.gif

3. As seen briefly above, the Transaction tab has generated. Much like the Listing tab, the Transaction tab has some required information listed with a red asterisk (*). Some information will have carried over from the Listing file. Complete the required information, and then click on Next in the lower right corner. 

003.gif

4. After filling out the Transaction tab, the Contacts and Commission tabs will need to be completed. Once those tabs are completed, the Checklist tab will become available and the sales docs can be added!

 

 HOW TO CHANGE INFORMATION IN YOUR LISTING FILE 

1. From the home page, click on Manage Listings. Search for & locate the file. Then, single-click on the address to open the file. 

home_page_to_manage_listings_to_640_reskin.gif

2. The file will open to the Listing tab. This is where all of the information pertaining to the Listing is located. Locate the field that needs to be changed, whether it's the List Price, the Listing Expiration Date, or the Co-Agent (etc).

In that field, make the necessary change. To change the price, clear the old price and enter the new price. To change the date, select a new one from the calendar, or manually enter a 2-digit month, 2-digit day, and 4-digit year.

002.gif

Pro Tip: Don't add the dollar sign, comma, or period. We'll add it for you! 

Once the proper changes have been made, click on the Next button in the lower right hand corner. This is important! Clicking on Next saves the changes made to the file.

If necessary, more than one change can be made to a file at a time. And that's all it takes!

 

 

HOW TO USE SPLIT AND ASSIGN

1. First, we're going to start with a PDF packet that is already in your SkySlope file. Click on Manage Transactions or Manage Listings from the home page to locate your file. Then single-click on the address to open your file.

001_reskin.gif

Support Tip: Don't have your document uploaded yet? Click here to learn how.

2. Once you've located your PDF Packet, you'll click on the Split button on the right side of the page. Then, the Split Window will open for you.

002.gif

3. You will use the Split Window to break down your packet into individual documents. On the left side under New Document Name, type the name of the first document in your packet. When typing the name of the document, click on the corresponding Checklist item that pops up below. Then enter the page range for that document.

Example: "Listing Agreement" - From page 1 to page 2

003.gif

Support Tip: Don't know the name of the document to search for? Click in the New Document Name field, and then tap on your keyboard's space bar to show all of the Checklist items. Then click on the Checklist item name to select it.

4. Next, you will follow the same steps for the rest of your documents. Enter the document name, and select the corresponding Checklist item. Then enter the page range by number.

004.gif

Support Tip: Trying to split a 1-page document? Just start and end on the same page. Ex Above: MLS Printout - From page 7 to page 7.

5. Once you've broken down all of your documents, you will click on the blue Split & Assign button at the top of the page. This will split your documents, and assign them to the Checklist in the selected locations.

005.gif

After clicking Split & Assign, you'll be able to either Return to Docs or Go to Checklist.

Success! Now that's a job well done! 

 

 

HOW TO UPLOAD DOCUMENTS

If you have documents that you're ready to add to your SkySlope Checklist to submit them for review, the process is a breeze. There are a few different ways you can upload your documents. You can upload them directly from your computer, you can send them to your file via email, or you can even fax them!

Once that Checklist item has been located, click on Attach on the right side of the page.After clicking Attach, click on the blue Upload Document button on the right side of the page. Then, browse the computer to find the document to be uploaded.
