Why do Dotloop users need a virtual assistant?
A transaction is a deadline machine. Inspection ends Friday, the appraisal addendum needs two initials, the lender wants the amendment today and the seller signs on a phone in a parking lot. Agents can do this work, they just cannot do it while showing property, and brokers only find out what was missed when the file lands in compliance review with three documents short. Dotloop makes the state of every file visible, which helps only if somebody looks. An assistant is that somebody. They open the loop the day an offer is accepted, load the right template, add every party with the correct role, send for signature, chase what is outstanding and submit a complete file for review.
What can a virtual assistant do inside Dotloop?
- Loop creation from templates
- Opens the loop the day terms are agreed, applies your state or provincial template, and fills property, price and date fields from the contract so the autofill carries through every form.
- People and roles
- Adds buyer, seller, co-op agent, lender, title or lawyer and inspector with the right role and permission level so each party sees only their own documents.
- Document checklist
- Works your task template line by line, uploads what arrives by email, names files consistently and keeps the outstanding list visible to the agent.
- Signatures
- Prepares signature fields, sends in the right order, and chases signers by text and email on a schedule rather than waiting for them to remember.
- Loop status and dates
- Moves the loop through the status stages, tracks contingency and financing deadlines, and gives the agent a daily list of what expires in the next three days.
- Compliance review
- Submits the file for broker review, answers the reviewer's rejections the same day and keeps a log of the items that get kicked back most often.
- Amendments and addenda
- Prepares repair amendments, extensions and price changes from your form library, routes them for signature and files the executed copy into the loop.
- Reporting for brokers
- Pulls a weekly view of loops by status, files awaiting review and deals closing this month, with a note on which files are at risk.
