What is a transaction management system?
As technology continuously advances to help us with our everyday needs, more and more software companies have been using this momentum to focus on creating systems that help businesses complete transactions more efficiently at larger scales.
Real-Estate Management Software has been increasingly popular the past couple of years among brokerages, specifically the transaction aspect which focuses on the transaction process in the real-estate industry. Such transactions include document management, creating and monitoring listings, e-signature, etc. Real-Estate Transaction systems help streamline these processes in your office by decreasing the amount of paperwork, while creating more automations to help your agents close sales faster.
Datz Solutions offers transaction management within their all-in-one full operating system that has helped brokerages across North America streamline these processes to save time, run more efficiently, and increase “sales closed” for their agents.
Why is it important?
When looking to implement a new software system, it is important to find a software system that best suits the entire office, as everyone from the managing broker, the admin staff and your real-estate agents will be using it on a daily basis. We have compiled our research and using “software connect” we created a list of features that you should look for when picking a transaction software.
Features of a Real-Estate Transaction Management System – According to “Software Connect”
- Audit Management – The ability to review files with a customized checklist. This should make sure that all listing documentation and contingency files are uploaded, signed, and accepted.
