Want a way to go from listing contract to cashed commission check faster? As we say in the RE Technology offices, the key is to "plan your work, and work your plan."

For agents, this means having a set game plan in place for completing the routine tasks that every listings requires—ordering photos, creating marketing materials, uploading to the MLS, etc.—and deadlines to follow.

Many CRMS and transaction management programs offer activity checklists that agents can use to help set up and close a listing successfully. If your preferred solution doesn't offer checklists—or if the checklists leave something to be desired—today's Friday Freebie is for you!
