Listing Specialist:

Pre-Marketing Discussion + Authorization to Exclude.
- What happens when someone wants to write an offer before it’s on the market (RMLS)?
  - Discuss with your client about the pros and cons. Let them know what they could be missing without RMLS exposure.
New Listing Procedures:

ZipForms –

Use Template and input Seller’s Names and Address
Complete 2 page Listing Agreement
Don’t use Data Sheets.
Print out all the forms. (This could also be via Docusign, but you get the idea)

RMLSWeb

Input as much as possible into listing. Print out data sheets
At time of signing the agreement, or during a walk-through, jot down the remainder of the listing information.
Input remainder of data. Print out an ‘In Progress’ RMLS listing sheet.
Send ‘In Progress’ Listing and Data Sheets to your seller’s for their corrections if any, and their initials.

Listing Published

You have all the signed documents completed on Day 1.
Discussion: Multiple Offers. Getting aggressive.

What happens when your client is completely going against their best interest?

Let them lose one.
Give them your advice. Be forward. Be honest.
Ask the question “What price won’t make you regretful if you lose the house?”
It’s helpful if you know the coop agent. Let your client know about your experiences/knowledge.
