What are the benefits of property sales progression
- Customise milestones - Add your own additional unique and custom progress tasks to the sales progression checklist, during a property purchase
- Track progress and issues - View notifications for automated milestones, and/or create and complete your own milestones. Plus, record all communications in one central repository for a full audit trail
- Communicate in seconds - Create, manage and view sales chains visually, send progression updates via SMS or email to everybody involved in the sale, and produce all important letters and invoices automatically
- Keep vendors up to date - Easily share sales progression updates with vendors through their own PropertyFile account, via the Vendor Portal
- Group your contacts - Group sales progression by Conveyancer or Sales Progressor to save time and get all your answers in one place
Sales progressions (beta) dashboard
- Click Progressions on the main toolbar
- In the dropdown menu, click Sales progressions beta
The new Sales progressions (beta) dashboard in Alto is where you can view an overview of each property sale as well as the key details including the date of the latest milestones, the progression Status, Offer accepted and Estimated exchange dates, Sales Progressor and the Branch. Each progression card can be expanded to view further details such as the Vendor and Buyer along with their associated Conveyancers.
Automated milestones
If a conveyancer has been referred, or, a case has been opened with a conveyancer, whenever they update their CMS (Case Management System) with important milestones, they're automatically sent to Alto for your visibility (signified by the below icon), speeding up your sales progression.
Also, any progress made with automated milestones can be shared in real-time with your buyers and sellers via PropertyFile.
Additionally, you'll receive a notification (within Notifications) whenever a new milestone update is reached as well as an email notification. Emails will contain the property address, the latest milestone, and all milestones that have been previously received, so you can understand the update without logging in to Alto.
Note
You'll automatically have these emails enabled, but you'll have the ability to toggle them off, if preferred.
- Click Your name in the main toolbar
- In the dropdown menu, click Account settings
- Untick Receive email notifications
