In Real Estate sales and property management, Dotloop will be your best friend. When you need clients or tenants to sign a lease or a contract, sending through dotloop is extremely easygoing and keeps everything organized pertaining to what you name the loop. I think I speak for my whole office when I say that without dotloop, our lives would be a disorderly mess, and we would find ourselves losing papers and becoming confused. Dotloop really helps our office like no other and has great support along the way!

Not necessarily not appropriate but could be better overall As stated, the chat/messaging function, locating canceled reservations, warning users when a feature is being changed and actually provide a training even if it's steps or a quick video I know I can find it in the help center it just should have been provided up front. We shouldn't have to go looking for things.

Pros
Zillow
  • Dotloop has a great user interface. The features that seem small but are a huge help such as automatically scrolling to where the person needs to review and sign is very creative.
  • It has been great to be able to pull documents from the app on a mobile device to a web browser on a desktop.
  • It is very easy to organize documents (add, remove, arrange, edit, etc.)

Cons
Zillow
  • The viewing could be a bit more user friendly when opening from different types of devices.
  • It would be nice if there was an alert that clients don't need to try to login when opening a document since they don't have an account.

Usability

The Brokers I've connected with that used Dotloop in the past have also had the same issue I had. Their relationship with "thousands" of MLS listing services is not true. No one took responsibility for not communicating this early on. Everyone just pointed the finger at other departments and did absolutely nothing to alleviate the situation.

To add insult to injury, the system crashes during peak usage, making it near impossible to submit offers promptly. If requested I am more than open to provide the video showing both when the system crashes and the aforementioned issue

This was a ten before the calendar update. The calendar update was rolled out poorly. There was no warning, one day it was just different and we had to relearn how to use it with no guide or reference. This really could have been done better and more efficiently. A simple email

Good support but onboard training could probably be a bit better as well as documentation. But we rarely need support as the software works flawlessly once you know how to use it. Very happy with support so far and I recommend the product.

I personally feel that Dotloop is much more organized and easier to use. It feels more efficient to use and I have noticed the majority of the people I work with are more aware of Dotloop and trust it more

  • Great at allowing our management to see what is going on within the office

  • Since using Guesty we are seeing a lower response time due to the chat feature. It takes about 25 mins for us to reply simply bc we don't see them until we refresh. We like response time to be 10 mins
  • We've also had a 25% increase in owner communication since owners are having trouble with the calendar
  • Overall though 30% increase in bookings due to having multiple platforms in one
