Dotloop
Chose Dotloop
After using a competitive program, Dotloop exceeded above and beyond. Dotloop provides the best contract management program out there and really steals the show with its ease of use and support systems.
Chose Dotloop
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.
Chose Dotloop
Dotloop is easier to use, and it doesn't attempt to force you to just sign something without reading it through.
Chose Dotloop
We chose Dotloop because of how user friendly and customizable the software is. Our office is ever evolving and we needed a software that can grow with us as we advance and change the way we do things. Other software we tried was limited in this and didn't allow for minor …
Chose Dotloop
For real estate transactions, Dotloop wins hands down. HelloSign is good for general document signing purposes, but nothing beats Dotloop and it's ease of use when it comes to real estate transactions with multiple parties involved. We started out with HelloSign but quickly …

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
  • Dotloop's user interface is the best I've seen! It brings you exactly to where you need to read and sign.
  • The security features were great and it makes it easy when the client doesn't need to create an account.
  • Convenience is everything! Dotloop has made it easier than ever to complete multiple days of paperwork.

Cons
  • Somewhat clunky interface that can be a little dizzying at times
  • Weird login protocols (at least when I was using it), making it hard to switch from the free to paid version or vice versa
  • Membership limitations that make businesses buy more subscriptions than they need, or not enough

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

Support Rating
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.

Return on Investment
  • Great at allowing our management to see what is going on within the office
  • Great at quality and compliance with the submit for review function

  • 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
