In this training video, we're going to explain how you can add an open house to a listing
[10]
in RealtyMX.
[13]
The first step is to log in to your dashboard.
[16]
We've already done that so; this is the main page you'll see when you log in.
[21]
You'll want to go to my stuff on the left, click on that and click on my listings.
[27]
Generally speaking, it's going to show your newer listings at the top, so the ones that
[34]
are most recently uploaded are going to show up towards the top.
[38]
In this case we're going to add an open house to one of our sale listings out in Queens.
[43]
The unit is this one here and so the next step is to click on actions and then click
[50]
on edit on the right.
[58]
Once the listing loads, you'll want to scroll down into the section which has the open houses.
[67]
If you look on the right side here it's a little more than halfway down the page and
[71]
you'll want to put the date here in the box.
[74]
Usually, a calendar pops up.
[75]
In this case, we're doing it on the 27th of April and in terms of the time it's from 12:00
[82]
to 2:00 p.m.
[83]
So, we'll pick the start time and the end time and that's basically how you put it in.
[92]
Now if you have an open house by appointment, you'll want to click on the box open house
[95]
by appointment.
[96]
In this case, it's a general open house so nobody needs to make an appointment to show
[101]
up.
[102]
Quick aside: if you have a listing in a building that has a medium to large number of units,
[109]
it is very important that at the beginning of the sale process you confirm with management
[113]
whether or not you need to request open house times with the super or with management.
[120]
From time to time you'll encounter a building which will require you to provide notice.
[126]
I would say usually up to three days� notice for the open house, and in more extreme cases
[132]
a building might not allow any open houses at all that are generally open houses or a
[136]
building might only allow say two or three per day.
[140]
In that case, it's very important that you request the open house with management early
[144]
in the week otherwise your seller is going to be quite frustrated when they hear that
[149]
their neighbors get to do an open house and they don't!
[158]
Go ahead and click on submit listing and you'll be faced with a prompt here that asks you
[164]
to confirm the co-broke.
[165]
Basically, what the commission is on the transaction.
[169]
It's very important that you look at this primarily look at the co-broke fee and just
[173]
make sure that the percentage here is what's in the listing agreement.
[177]
Any mistakes in this field could put the company obviously at risk financially.
[184]
If the sellers agreed to only pay 1% and you've put 2.5% in the listing, the broker on the
[189]
other side could make a claim that they are entitled to the 2.5%.
[195]
If the seller is only paying 1% then somebody has to make up the difference.
[201]
When you see the prompt, click close and then it should ask if you want to update the selected
[206]
listing.
[207]
Once you've done that, go ahead and click OK and you'll see this green check box.
[215]
It says updating and then just give it a minute for it to finish up.
[237]
So that took a considerable amount of time that's not normal so usually, it should be
[242]
quicker but just be patient we waited there hopefully you
[245]
didn't stop the video.
[247]
And you've now seen how the whole process is done I would also suggest that once you
[253]
add the open house you might as well double check that it actually shows up on the screen
[258]
here and if you really really want to make sure that you've done it correctly wait a
[263]
couple hours.
[264]
And then go online perhaps on street easy double-check and make sure that the open house
[267]
appears in this case once you have an open house.
[271]
It will appear right here usually below the description of the property which has condo
[278]
or co-op or house single and multi-family and the neighborhood as well.
[283]
