Managing Fund Requests
Cancelling a Fund Request
- Currently, fund requests cannot be cancelled through the CRM once they have been sent. If you need to cancel a fund request, log in to the RealtyAssist platform and cancel it there.
Updating a Fund Request
- If a fund request has already been created in the RealtyAssist platform, any changes made to it in the CRM will not update the existing request.
- If you need to make changes after submission, the best approach is to cancel the request inside RealtyAssist and create a new one.
- Currently, there is a limit of two fund requests. If you have already used both fund request fields in the CRM, you must generate a new request from the RealtyAssist platform.
Updating a Fund Request After an Error Occurs
If an error occurs, we will reach out to you with the missing data.
What you'll need to do next?
- Go to your listing and update the required details or enter any missing information.
- Once you are done, click Save/Update.
- We will receive the updates, and the fund request should be created successfully. ✅
Updating Settlement Details
The integration will update settlement details automatically in the RealtyAssist platform from your CRM. When you add a contract to the listing and enter the following details:
- Sale Price
- Settlement Date
- Vendor's Solicitor
These details will automatically sync with the RealtyAssist platform, ensuring your records are always up to date.
