Where Real Estate Gets Its Dirt

New Cloud CMA enhancement (Live Buyer Tour) works with Apple CarPlay

New in Cloud CMA: Live buyer tours

“Live buyer tours build on the existing functionality to turn static reports into dynamic ones—with real-time data that you and your buyers can easily read on any device. So you get a new way to show off properties, and your clients get live access to the most relevant information about their favorite listings. “

I’m really proud of the team and what they’ve acomplished with this new enhancement. Back in May of 2020 we launched Cloud CMA Live. Cloud CMA Live raised the bar for interactive digital presentations and also gave agents a new way to present remotely.

The Buyer Tour report in Cloud CMA has always been a hidden gem. With the new Live Buyer Tour we wanted to give Buyer’s agents a new tool that was mobile first. I know agents are going to love it. This new enhancement is free to all Cloud CMA subscribers and launched yesterday. Check it out and please feel free to share the quick video I made above.

Not being there

What I love about eWebinar is I can give a great training session on Cloud CMA at 6 AM in the morning without being there at 6 AM in the morning.

Seriously, if you are a broker, MLS or Vendor that provides tech to your agents/members/clients you need this. Check it out = > My eWebinar Demo

NMAR puts brakes on SkySlope Launch

NMAR Pauses SkySlope Launch

“At this time, the NMAR Executive Committee has made the decision to pause the transition to SkySlope as the state’s Form Provider. There is a misalignment between member needs and SkySlopes’ Forms Platform and until that can be resolved, the decision to postpone the launch date was made. For now, NMAR will continue to offer Instanet/Transaction Desk as its membership benefit Forms Provider. “

MRED adds Lone Wolf’s MLS-Connect for zipForm users

Partnership introduces MLS-Connect® for automated data entry in subscribers’ transactions management systems

With MLS-Connect, subscribers can enter a listing ID into Transactions and watch as MLS information populates directly into transaction documents. This gives subscribers the means to quickly and accurately fill out forms while avoiding manual data entry and costly errors.

“We are pleased to introduce MLS-Connect to our subscribers,” stated Rebecca Jensen, MRED President and CEO. “Modern real estate is a fast-paced industry and it’s our mission to help our subscribers perform at the highest possible level. Introducing an innovative solution like MLS-Connect means they can do that.”

Great time saver for agents and brokers.

MRED adds zipForm integration to connectMLS

Transactions, MLS-Connect added as connectMLS integrations

“MLS-Connect automatically fills out your forms, saving you the hassle of manually entering all your listing details. This alleviates data entry errors and saves time during the transaction creation process. You can also easily import or push data from your MLS listings into Transactions (zipForm Edition) to fill out forms faster than ever.”

Happy to see this integration happen. Big shout out to Jessica Richardson at Lone Wolf for helping make this happen.

Alaska MLS launches TransactionDesk and Authentisign as a new member benefit

Alaska MLS partners with Lone Wolf Technologies to deliver complete transaction suite to members

“AKMLS members will now have access to a complete transaction management solution as a free member benefit, integrated with the AKMLS system to populate, sign, and complete all forms necessary for their real estate deals. 

We’re thrilled to partner with Lone Wolf to bring these solutions to our members,” said Michael Smith, Chief Executive Officer of AKMLS. “Real estate has become increasingly digital, and for years, we have championed the use of technology in the industry. By providing our members with a user- and consumer-friendly way to complete home sales digitally, we’re helping them showcase their expertise in the market.” 

With the new enhancements to Authentisign and increased functionality and integration points with TransactionDesk AKMLS members are going to love this solution.

Lone Wolf begins zipForm transition to Authentisign e-signature solution

Real estate’s top digital signature solution, Authentisign, coming to Lone Wolf Transactions (zipForm Edition)

“Lone Wolf Technologies (“Lone Wolf”), the leader in North American residential real estate software, announced today the rollout of the company’s highly popular digital signature solution, the all-new Authentisign, to Lone Wolf Transactions (zipForm Edition) customers. This rollout will take place nationwide in a phased market approach starting today. “

When you have bought as many companies as Lone Wolf has, you have a lot to think about regarding integration. Lone Wolf owns two of real estate’s most popular transaction management systems, zipForm, and TransactionDesk. Giving our customers more choices is good but that can also cause support issues; 2 e-signature solutions, 2 UI/UX, and 2 separate forms design teams (to handle new/changes/updates to forms). Over the past year and a half, Lone Wolf has been consolidating key features to streamline the product and to help our support teams.

First off Lone Wolf launched a brand new Authentisign. This new solution has been a hit with its users and has close to a 5-star rating. That new Authentisign was launched to TransactionDesk users only. Now, this new solution is going to start rolling out to zipForm users and I’m positive they are going to appreciate the better UI/UX.

Recently Lone Wolf also revamped the forms editor in zipForm. Customers have well received this. You can read Craig Rowe’s great review at Inman News – “Lone Wolf enhances deal making with digital forms overhaul: Tech Review“. Those changes are also going to be rolling out to TransactionDesk users in the future.

I know the teams are working hard on these improvements and happy to see and share their progress.

Inman News’ Craig Rowe reviews Lone Wolf’s new form editor

Lone Wolf enhances deal making with digital forms overhaul: Tech Review

“The longer a deal takes to get done, the greater the risk of something going wrong. The risk increases when deal data accumulates in unrelated channels, such as email inboxes, text messages or phone call notes scribbled on Post-Its.

Lone Wolf’s new forms editor addresses these challenges by collecting every deal-engagement point into a single interface, called the Workspace. Click the Parties menu to see and contact essential deal stakeholders, review and confirm suggested documents in the Forms tab, verify the Listing information, Offer points and use the Clauses menu to add and edit existing clauses or to create new ones.”

Good review. I have written about this new release and how fast I thought it was, but I think this review emphasizes the “why” of the need for speed (apologies to Maverick).

Lone Wolf announces a new form editor for zipForm

Meet your new forms editor in Transactions

“The new forms editor introduces several intelligent and intuitive features, giving agents and brokers everything they need to prepare and send forms faster than ever. With a new and improved workspace, you can auto-fill out forms, fill out multiple forms at once, mark up documents, add and personalize clauses, and quickly add signers and property information. “

Great update for all those local and state associations that re-signed with zipForm. Internally we have been calling this “Forms 4.0”, but if I got to pick a code name I would call it “Speed Demon”. And I think Dan Fortin and the product team at Lone Wolf have really knocked it out of the park.

“Speed Demon,” you say? Yes, this new updated skeuomorphic design is all about speed. The new workspace allows the user to fill out multiple fields at once and see transaction info, contact details, offer info, and much more—in one place. No more switching back and forth between forms. And leveraging some cool AI tools it auto-populates info from existing parties, listings, and offers forms. It even makes suggestions based on past transactions. All of this will reduce the time agents need to fill out forms.

The new forms editor also works perfectly with Authentisign.

Lone Wolf is rolling this out on a market-by-market basis. Once it is launched in a market agents will be given the choice of using the new editor or the current editor. Over time this option will go away.

So what about TransactionDesk users? Most likely this won’t be available to TD users until next year (I can’t believe it’s June already).

To see the new forms editor in action check out the video at the end of this post from Lone Wolf.
