Notes & Tasks & Files
At the bottom of the Page is and below that is Files
Notes and Tasks is where you will receive tasks and Notes from the brokerage. You can also send tasks and Notes. Be sure to assign them. These notes or tasks are not attached to a deal or listing.
Files on your home page is for your use only and can not be seen by the brokerage. These are not attached to any deals or listings. It is just a storage place for files you may need. You could add this file for instance.
Referral Fee
The best way to deal with a referral fee you are expecting from another agent/brokerage is to task me from your Home Page. It will go to my Home Page where I will be able to keep an eye open for it when it comes in. The task should mention what brokerage it should be coming from. It will be your responsibility to inform us of any changes. We would not know any details so we can not invoice the other brokerage.
Add a Listing
Click on the Listings Tab at the top. You can choose New Listing or New Listing from MLS. The latter may take up to 48 hours from entry on the MLS to be able to use.
The next window is where you enter all the data. Go through each field one by one so as to not miss anything. Be as specific as possible. It helps the integrity of the database.
The MLS Area is the city/town/MD
Style should be detached/apartment/townhouse or duplex. Don’t use generic terms like condo or residential.
You do not need Legal ID or lot block and plan unless that is all the info you have.
When you add the seller be sure to add their DOB and occupation/employer for fintrac reasons. This allows Fintrac to search contacts and check for duplicates or fake names. This would only be done by an order from Fintrac. Contact addresses is not needed nor are their email or phone numbers.
If you have more than one seller click add seller on the bottom right of the List Side Contacts section.
You should be the “Agent 1” and our brokerage name should appear beside it. End is where you would put where you are getting all the commission on the list side (1.00) or are you splitting it with another Realtor (.50) or what ever the split is. The other Realtors name should be under “Agent 2”.
Add the lawyers if you know them at this time.
Commission are entered next. They can be predefined or custom. Use the drop down menu if the desired commission is there click on it. If not, use Custom. All commission must have a gross amount which is the total for both the list and buy side. Simply type in the percentage amount. If you need to calculate the percentage then do so.
For instance if you are giving a 25% discount to the list side only, it would be 3.5x.75=2.625 and1.5x.75=1.125. The gross would be 6.125%(3.5+2.625) on the first $100,000 and 2.625%(1.5+1.125) of the remainder. The sell side would be 3.5% on the first $100,000 and 1.5% of the remainder. The list would be 2.625% on the first $100k and 1.125% on the remainder. Once you have entered the commission click the calculate commission button.
Additional notes is where you would inform the brokerage of something unusual for instance there could be a referral to a realtor at another brokerage that we need to pay. You don’t need to enter them as a listing agent as they are not on the contract. Instead we will enter them on the brokerage side.
At the bottom if you click continue you will save all your work. If you do not continue it will not save and you will have to enter all the info again.
The next window is where you will add your documents. Only PDF’s can be added as they need to to be opened by the brokerage and emailed to lawyers to open. JPG files for instance are too large.
At this stage you can go back and edit your original info or delete the entire file.
DO NOT USE CLONE
The listing sheet is a quick review of the info you have entered and can not be edited.
When you scan a document you should always give it a good name that lets the reader know what is in it without having to open it. Don’t just call it “amendment” as there could be lots of them on both the list and deal side. Call it “Amendment to the List Price” Some people add the property address into the name so that they know what file it pertains to when it is on their PC. You can also tag it using the drop down menu but not too many people use this option if they give the doc a really good name. DO NOT Change the Share With options. It is set up to be shared with the appropriate people. Click save after you have attached the doc.
You can add any notes or tasks to this particular file. You will need to assign it to someone.
A Task will send an email to the person it is assigned to while a Note will sit on this file and will not be read until someone goes into this file.
After you have added all the documents and are happy with the info you have entered then click Submit To Brokerage.
Once you have submitted the file to the brokerage you can not edit it and must task the brokerage to have anything changed. Be sure to task inside the listing. If it has not yet been processed by the brokerage you can find it under Unprocessed Listing Sheets. If it has been processed it will be under Active Listings.
If the brokerage has sent you a task you must complete the task you have been asked to do. Once you have completed the task you can click on the task and click edit and enter the completed date and save it.
If you need to terminate a listing it must be sent to the broker first to be signed and terminated from the MLS. Once the signed copy is sent back to you it can be added to Deal Manager. You must task the brokerage to have it terminated from Deal Manager.
If you are extending the listing date you must add the amendment to the system and task the brokerage to change the expiry date.
Add A New Sell Deal (not on your listing)

At the bottom click New Sell Deal or New Deal from MLS. DO NOT USE New List Deal or New Double End Deal.

Attach A Deal To Your Listing
This is a very important step but also very easy. If you receive a deal on your listing they have to be linked together so that all information flows from one to the other.
If you get a deal on your listing immediately and you haven't entered your listing, you must enter the listing first and have it processed by the brokerage before you can attach a deal to it.
Click the Deals tab at the top of your home page. There you will see your listings. To the left of the address you will see two buttons, Double End and List. Unless you are double ending it click List. You will be taken to another window where you will fill out the fields just like any Deal. Much of the info will be filled out for you.
After you finish filling in the fields and click continue on the bottom everything will be saved. The next page is where you will add all the deal documents. Once that is done click the submit button. Once it is processed by the brokerage it will be a conditional deal on your home page.
Read: Attaching a New Sell Deal for more details what info to add.
At that time you can click on conditional deals and click the address and you will be in the deal side and you can add deal documents again if you need to. While you are in the deal side you will notice that there is a link that starts with an (L) followed by some numbers. This is a system generated number assigned to your listing. If you click on it it will take you to the list side where you can add listing documents. While you are on the list side you will notice a link that starts with a (D) followed by some numbers. If you click on it you will go to the deal side again.
It is very important that only deal documents get added to the deal side and listing documents added to the list side. If the deal collapses all deal documents will disappear but the listing remains as active. You don’t want listing doc’s disappearing or deal doc’s staying if the deal collapses.
If the deal collapses you must add the non-waiver if available to the system. If there is a deposit held with us it will be returned to the buyer once the cheque has cleared the bank, generally 10 business days. Our brokerage only accepts bank drafts for deposits, this will shorten the waiting period to just 10 straight days.
