How do I get my transaction linked/integrated with another CTM eContracts agent’s transaction?


ANSWER:

Requirement #1: The Buyer’s Agent must have the exact same property address in their Contract to Buy and Sell (CBS) as the Listing Agent has in their Listing Agreement.

Requirement #2: The Buyer’s Agent must email the Contract to Buy and Sell (CBS) from their CTM eContracts account to the Listing agent’s email address used in CTM eContracts.
 
Note for Buyer’s Agent: When creating the CBS, click on the Save Time! link (in the CBS), then use the default tab Search CTM by Address. If you find the Listing was created in CTM eContracts, this feature allows you to populate relevant information into your CBS, such as the Property Address, County, Legal, Seller’s Names, Parking, Storage, Association, Listing Agent’s Name, Listing Agent’s email address, etc.

Transaction Integration Buyer Agent Features and Requirements




How do I share documents with the other Agent?


ANSWER:

Option #1: Once linked/integrated, an integration box appears on the Detailed Transaction View page. The integration box has the other Agent’s name in it and a green link that reads, Allow Buyer’s/Listing Agent to View Disclosures/Docs. Click on this green link. Select the documents to share. Click SAVE. The other agent will receive an email notifying them that you have shared a document(s).

Option #2: Once linked/integrated, on your Email page you will find a Share column (with check boxes) next to the document(s). Select a document(s) to share and then click the button at the bottom of the page that reads Email-Share Selected Docs. The other agent will receive an email notifying them that you have shared document(s).

Note: These instructions are for sharing documents with the other Agent, not sharing documents with your Client.

What is a quick way to add the Buyer’s name(s) to all my disclosures, so that I can share or email them to the Buyer’s Agent?


ANSWER:

Option #1: If you are linked/integrated with the Buyer’s Agent, you can click on the green link in the integration box that reads, Create Disclosures & Folder for this Buyer’s offer. The Buyer’s name(s) will appear in a popup box and now check the box to Create a New Folder. Select the documents you would like to recreate, click Recreate Documents button. The system will create a folder and add the Buyers names to the documents you have chosen.

Option #2: If you are not linked/integrated, you are still able to easily add the Buyer’s names to your disclosures. You can click on the orange links located on the Detailed Transaction View page (below the list of electronic contracts you created).
 
Click on the Recreate the original Disclosures with only the Sellers Signature For Multiple Offers link, if you would like to create multiple sets of disclosures for multiple Offers/Buyers. This feature allows you to Recreate listing disclosures/documents that have been signed by the Seller and add the Buyer Names when creating new disclosures.
 
Or click on the Add Buyer’s Name to Disclosures link for a Single Offer. This feature allows you to add the Buyer’s Name to all existing disclosures at once. (The Buyer’s Name will only be added to documents that have not been signed by the Buyer).

Why isn’t my Client’s email address appearing on my Email page?

ANSWER:

Add your client’s email address to the admin section of your Parent Contract.

Open the Contract to Buy and Sell, Listing Agreement, or Buyer Agency parent contract, scroll down the web page to the admin section and type in the email address(s) field and click SAVE. Your client’s email address will now show on your Email page. (You can add/edit email addresses in parent contracts, even if they are signed and locked).

Note: It is fine to update your Client Database with your client’s email address, but that will not automatically put their email address on your Email page.

Why can`t my Seller(s) sign the Contract to Buy and Sell (CBS)?

ANSWER:

It could be any of the following:

- Buyer’s Agent may need to enable web signatures in their CBS.

- Seller might be clicking the PDF Print icon , instead of the blue CONTRACT live link in the email.

- The Buyer’s Agent may need to add the Seller’s name(s) in their CBS. (The Buyer Agent can still add the Buyers Names even after the Sellers have signed)

How do I Copy/Duplicate a locked contract, so that I can make changes in the new one?

ANSWER:

Click on the Copy/Duplicate locked contracts of this transaction only link located on the Detailed Transaction View page (under the list of electronic contracts that you created). Clicking on this link will display ALL locked documents in a popup box. You can then select your locked contract(s) and click the Copy - Duplicate Documents button in the bottom right corner of the popup box. The system will create an exact copy of your contract(s) with no signatures.

Note: If you are trying to edit the client Name(s) or Address in a Parent Contract, you will need to delete the locked contract before you will be able to save any changes in the new contract. (Deleted contracts will reside in the Deleted Contracts folder on your Main Dashboard)
