First NAR, Now the World


It hasn't quite been a week since the National Association of REALTORS Conference in San Diego ended, but with our national debut behind us, DotLoop is ready to take on the world.

I'm sorry, did you say world?

Yes, world. Says DotLoop CEO Austin Allison,"Our strategic plan has always been for converting the simplicity of the DotLoop solution that REALTORS and brokers from North America are now taking advantage of and taking that technology to an international platform."

Aside from the US market, we are looking to expand DotLoop's platform into other countries. Already,in fact, we've connected with agents and brokers from Portugal to Panama.

DotLoop's ease-of-use makes it the perfect product for agents around the world. Of course, we're starting right here at home in America, but don't be surprised if one day, you're buying your Italian home via DotLoop.

The Post-NAR Post


This past weekend (November 13 - 16), DotLoop made its national debut at the National Association of REALTORS Conference in San Diego, California. Not only did we meet some of the best and brightest within the industry, we got to show agents and brokers alike the future of Real Estate.

DotLoop Takes the Stage

DotLoop CEO Austin Allison presented the Real Estate Revolution on Saturday to a packed crowd and showed them just what the world's first online interactive negotiations platform can do for them.

And yes, that was a DeLorean at our booth: We're going Back To The Future of Real Estate, Doc!

DotLoop was a tremendous success at NAR and In The Loop just wanted to say thank you to all of the agents, brokers, and other real estate professionals who we met. The Loop is out of the bag now and we're ready to take on the world!

Thank you for a fantastic weekend, NAR!

The Value of DotLoop

So, just how much does your time cost? Per week? Per day? Per hour?

If time equals money, then as an agent, you know how much money you're wasting. Driving to and from clients' homes, writing then re-writing contracts over and over again as the most minute of details change and adjust. Time is wasted battling fax machines and printers (along with time at your local office supply store spent looking for an ink cartridge).

Forms Software - The Best Solution?

If time is money, then you know that a forms software may be able to assuage some of the issues mentioned above. Great! Now I can type my contract out online and...

...and then what?

You'll still need to print off the contract (what was the ink cartridge model number for your printer again?). You'll still need to fax or drive the contract over to your clients and get their initials every time there is a slight adjustment to the terms. And, when all is said and done, you'll still need to store the contract in your filing cabinet, which costs you storage space one way or another.

The DotLoop Way

With The DotLoop System, you get three distinct advantages in one easy-to-use application: online forms, e-sign technology, and free on-demand storage capabilities. You also get a CRM system tied right into DotLoop, allowing you access to your client information at the click of a button.

DotLoop is the first online interactive environment designed exclusively for the real estate industry, allowing clients and agents the ability to adjust a single contract wherever and whenever. Your clients will appreciate the ability to review a contract at their leisure and without needing to meet you in a parking lot after work. You'll appreciate the time you'll save.

How much is your time worth to you?

Amor for Agents (And Brokers, Too)

Full disclosure: We at the DotLoop Company are useless. It’s true. Not that we’re not a great business with plenty of resources and amazing employees—we are. But, like a string-less guitar or a deaf DJ, we need another component to make us useful.

And that component is you: the agent. You are the coal to our steam engine, the gas to our car, the plutonium to our DeLorean. You are why we're here and what fuels our every undertaking here at DotLoop.

The DotLoop Mission

And with good reason: DotLoop was designed for agents by a former agent, with the underlying mission of creating a digital den for agents and clients to gather and collaborate without having to suffer through the trials of traffic or flummoxed faxes.

Agent Feedback

Thankfully, our successful beta testing here in Cincinnati provided DotLoop with tremendous feedback from agents who told us exactly what they wanted in an online negotiations tool. Just a few weeks ago, we unveiled the latest iteration of DotLoop based on their suggestions.

Feedback Loop

Here's what agents and brokers alike have to say about DotLoop:

"Anything that can help me do my job smarter, faster and better - while improving my clients' experience - makes me want to deepen the relationship. That's how it is with DotLoop."
--Kevin Duffy, RE/MAX Unlimited REALTOR

"DotLoop is the future of online real estate sales. It's just a great, time-saving process that should be a boon to real estate agents everywhere. DotLoop simplifies the process, cuts down on the paper and the files. It's simply a better way to conduct a real estate transaction."
--Jody Aschendorf, HHB Partners of Cincinnati REALTOR

"There is absolutely no reason not to consider a system like DotLoop. From an efficiency perspective - from a Green perspective - however you want to look at it, it just makes sense."
--Joe Price, COO of Huff Realty Inc.

"DotLoop is a paperless, penless, faxless way of doing business. In today's economy, every penny counts. By using DotLoop, all parties to the transaction save on the hard costs of paper, ink and printer maintenance, as well as the irretrievable cost of lost time. The program allows for seamless negotiations, available around the clock, from any Internet access point, and gives everyone a clean, clear, concise version of 'the deal.' It's preferred by clients and agents alike. We also see DotLoop as a true edge over the competition, when implemented."
--Karen Schlosser, Vice President and Sales Manager, RE/MAX Unlimited, the largest RE/MAX franchise in Greater Cincinnati
