The GoodLife Team's 5-Step Listing Presentation for iPad
Did you miss our iPad webinar with the GoodLife Team on Wednesday? No worries--we recorded it for you! The webinar featured a live iPad demonstration of the GoodLife Team's 5-step listing presentation. Watch the recording below for complete details, then click through to the next page to follow along with our notes. The 5-Step GoodLife Listing Presentation for iPad Evernote is one of the GoodLife Team's three "must have" apps. Presenter Garry Wise has multiple notebooks set up in Evernote: Prospective Clients, Buyers, Sellers, Closed, Templates, etc. Within "Sellers," he has a notebook for each of his listing clients. He chooses the client notebook of the current listing appointment and begins walking us through the five steps. Step 1: Understand Your Seller's Concerns Begin by reviewing the information you gathered during the initial phone consultation (contact info, best time to reach, where lead came from, interests, concerns, etc.) and make any necessary updates. The GoodLife Team has an Evernote template prepared to collect and organize all of this information. Step 2: Inspect Property with Client As you tour the home with the client, note what is needed to prepare the home to sell for its highest value, like repairs or staging. Use another Evernote template where you can note home features, recommended repairs, and anything you need to start marketing the home. If you can't type fast enough to document home features, just click the microphone icon at the top of Evernote to record audio. When you're done recording, Evernote will then drop the audio file wherever the cursor is in the document. Likewise, you can use the camera icon to take photos and save them in the document. Step 3: Marketing Plan The next step is use Keynote to show the client your marketing plan. See the GoodLife Team's example below. Step 4: Pricing Conversation Visuals are far more potent than words, so during the crucial pricing conversation, Garry uses Skitch to sketch out a pricing graph. You can create this from scratch, or import graphs and draw over them, as necessary. All Skitch drawings can easily be exported to Evernote and saved in the client's notebook. Next, go over the net sheet in Numbers, a spreadsheet app that--you guessed it--can export to Evernote, too. Step 5: Listing Agreement This is where the "magic" truly happens. Using zipForms (or whatever form solution you prefer) with DocuSign Ink, you can turn signing the listing agreement into a fun, memorable experience. The novelty of using their finger to sign the listing agreement on your iPad makes your clients feel that they are not signing their life away, but instead signing up for a great experience with you! Once the agreement is signed, you can export it as a PDF to Evernote from DocuSign Ink and--say it with me--save it to the client's notebook. The best part? You can then share the entire notebook with your client so that they'll have everything: the listing agreement, net sheet, marketing plan, and more!

Are You Ready to Get Mobile and Go Paperless?
Were you able to attend our webinar, "Get Mobile and Go Paperless with Cartavi and DocuSign" yesterday? If so, you saw a live demonstration of how easy it is to simplify your real estate business with these two integrated solutions. If you weren't able to attend, that's okay--we've recorded it for you! Check out our video below to view the entire webinar, then click through to the next page to see our notes and learn how to claim exclusive discounts from Cartavi and DocuSign. Cartavi helps real estate professionals manage all the documents in their real estate transactions from anywhere, on any device. Its power comes from how it lets you manage your business on the go. If a client calls and needs to see an appraisal document, for example, you can access that document from your smartphone or tablet and instantly share it with them. Agents can create a "transaction room" for a property and add documents and people (see the example below). The program gives you complete control over who has access to each document. Not everyone you work with may be comfortable with digital documents. Let's say you work with an attorney who uses faxes. Cartavi's integrated digital fax service allows you to send and receive faxes with just a few clicks on your computer or mobile device. That way all parties are happy--you retain the convenience of being digital and mobile while still being able to work with all parties in the manner they're comfortable with. Thanks to integration with eSignature platform DocuSign, you can manage any transaction from start to finish from your computer or mobile device. Tag where a document needs to be signed, seal it in an "envelope" and all parties will be able to sign digitally. You'll never have to struggle to figure out who's signed and who still needs to sign, either--all of this is easily viewed in the transaction room. With DocuSign and Cartavi, everything you need is at your fingertips.
