4. Add an applicant record for the relocation agent

Tip

Each individual search for a relocation agent should have its own applicant record - this allows matching to be done based on the requirements of the agent’s client

Viewings and journal notes for the client can also be stored on this record - then, when the client proceeds with a purchase/tenancy, the record can be archived without affecting other applicants associated with the relocation agent

From the main menu:

  • Click Applicant, enter the agent name in the search field and press enter

    • Click Add New (bottom right)

      Image Modified

From new applicant:

  • Select Company (top left)
    The search box is displayed to allow you to search for the relocation agent company record

  • In Name, enter the agent name and press enter

  • When found, double-click the agent name
    The company record is displayed - before saving/closing, see next step 

5. Select staff name for the applicant record

This step should be followed to ensure the correct staff member is assigned on the applicant record

From the company record:

  • Click to the left of the relevant Staff name - the name will be highlighted

  • Click Save

  • Company - click for relocation agent company details

  • Attention - click for selected staff member details

6. Enter details for client search on applicant record

In the new company applicant record:

  • Enter all relevant details for the client's search
    For example - price/rent range, requirements (including area), requirement notes

  • Click Save

    Image Modified
Tip

Each individual search should have its own applicant record

Follow step 7 for instruction on adding subsequent searches

7. Adding subsequent searches

Info

Once a company applicant record exists for a specific relocation agent, it can be duplicated for future searches for that agent

If the first search created was for a buying search and the subsequent search is for a lettings search, steps 4-6 will need to be done again - adding a lettings applicant (and vice versa)

From the applicant record created in steps 4-6:

  • Click the ellipsis button (...) and select Duplicate Applicant and click Multiple Requirements

Image Removed
  • Image Added
  • A prompt will be displayed - click Yes

    Image Modified
  • A new applicant record is created - enter details for the new search, ensure the price range and requirement notes are changed accordingly, click Save

    Image Modified
  • Repeat this step for all client searches for the agent - selecting a sales or lettings applicant before duplicating

Tip

Once the applicant record is saved, all records for the relocation agent can be viewed by clicking the ellipsis button & selecting View Linked Records

8. Contact or change the main contact

The main company contact can be changed - this menu also offers contact shortcuts

From the applicant record: 

  • In Attention field, click the agent name

  • Where configured, options to contact the agent are available - such as Send e-mail, Send SMS, Dial number

  • Change Selected Attention allows the main contact name to be switched to another staff member 
    To add a new staff member, access the company record to add (as outlined in step 3)

  • Click Journal (top right) - expand Current Activity section to see all active searches

Image Modified

10. When buyer/tenant found - add sales/lettings applicant details

Info

When a buyer/tenant has been found, the applicant record should be changed to an Individual record and the sales/lettings applicant details added

From the applicant record:

  • Click Individual (top left), the applicant search screen is displayed

  • Search for the required contact - double-click when found
    If not found, click Add (top left), add new contact and click save 

    Image Modified
  • The contact is added to the record as an Individual applicant

  • The applicant Journal still shows that the record was registered with the relocation agent

    Image Modified
  • The relocation agent company record also shows details of the applicant

    (seen when saving then re-opening the applicant record)

Before carrying out this step, the name of buyer/tenant details should have been added to the applicant record (as outlined in step 10 & 10a)

Lettings - add tenancy

From the applicant record:

  • Add the tenancy in the usual way

  • On tenancy, Relocation Agent details are carried through to the Relationships panel

    Image Modified

Sales - add offer

From the applicant record:

  • Add the offer in the usual way

  • Both the individual and the agent details will be shown in the Offers screen

  • When the property exchanges, the agent details will be shown on the Buyer and Sales Details tab in the Additional Buyers field

    Image Modified
Tip

When the property completes, it is advised to remove the agent from the Additional Buyers field, as this avoids any marketing material being sent to them in the future
