Uploading a Document

Open the desired folder and click on the Upload Docs link:

 


Click the Browse button and search your computer for the document, just like adding an attachment to an email. 

Use the “Document Name” field to type a viewer-friendly file name, such as:

Buyer Agreement
Listing Agreement
Contract
Earnest Money

There is no need to include the address as part of the file name once it’s in Paperless Pipeline, so keep them short and clearly defined.


Use the “Category” field to select one of these types for your document:

            Office Use         -Deposits, Blue Sheets, DA Requests, etc.
            Listing               -Listing Agreement, copy of MLS page, Seller Disclosure, Tax Records, etc.
            Sale                  -All contract pages including Exhibits, Earnest Money copies, Amendments, etc.
            Buyer                -Buyer Agreement, PreQualification Letter, etc.
           

The “Status” and “Reviewed” options are for Broker use when reviewing the folder.

Managing Checklists

Your Broker will add Checklists to your folder as it is reviewed.  Checklists exist for:

New Buyer/Tenant
New Listing (regular)
New Listing (rental)
Pending (regular)
Pending (rental)
Closed
Leased
Retainer Fee
Referral Fee
Expired/Fell Through
Terminated Sale


 

As tasks are checked as completed, they “gray out”
so that the remaining tasks are more eaily identifiable.

To reduce the length of the list, you may use the “-“
button to the left of the checklist name.  To see all
items again later, use the “+” button to open the full
list.

Only your Broker can mark tasks as completed.
If you notice a tasks is not marked, but has been
completed, you may use the Add Note feature to
communicate that update to your Broker.

No commissions will be paid until all checklist items
are completed.

Some items will not apply to your transaction; those
will be deleted from view by your Broker.


Refer to the separate document “Required Paperwork / Paperless Pipeline Checklists” for additional transaction requirements and explanation of each checklist item.
