Brokerage best practices

Using document automation to your advantage

There’s a better way to create proposals and property flyers at your brokerage. With document automation, you no longer have to consult separate datasheets of listings, confirm whether the information is up to date and make edits to each document individually. You can update all your property details in one central location and watch as they populate your proposals and marketing materials automatically. Everyone at your brokerage––the marketing team, brokers and brokerage owners––benefits from document automation.

Document automation helps your brokerage win more listings

With document automation software, brokers have more time to spend on activities that help your firm win more listings. The hours they once wasted manually updating proposals and materials can be spent making connections and nurturing deals. And because document automation speeds up proposal creation, your team can also draft more proposals in less time. Those proposals will stand out from the competition thanks to their professional design, brand consistency and speed to delivery.

Document automation helps your brokerage close more deals

Brokers better serve their clients and close more deals more quickly when properties make it to market faster. Some brokerages report that it takes as long as seven business days to fully market a listing. But with document automation, listings are live in as little as 15 minutes.

When your marketing team creates and updates marketing materials, they’ll no longer have to gather listing information from various sources and then update documents one by one. Your team can spend the time it gains back on other initiatives like videos, 3D tours and higher level strategies that increase close rates.

Document automation makes scaling your brokerage easier

Document automation facilitates brokerage growth and scalability by preventing bottlenecks in the marketing process that often arise as firms grow. Listing information remains organized and current, materials stay brand consistent and your marketing team is able to fully serve all brokers, even as you hire more.

Retention is also important for firms looking to scale. Brokers want to stay on board when they have access to cutting-edge automation tools that help them succeed, and clients grow even happier with their service.

Buildout also centralizes all of your brokerage’s listing information in one location. You only have to input information once, and from there, it’s pushed to your materials. If there are changes to listing details, simply edit the listing’s property form and all your materials will update accordingly. This capability ensures your information is current and your materials are always up to date.
