Why Approval Automation Matters in Real Estate
Property managers and brokers lose 11 hours weekly chasing document approvals according to National Association of Realtors data. ApproveThis eliminates this friction by adding structured decision-making to VaultRE's robust property management tools. Together, they create closed-loop automation where listing approvals trigger immediate CRM actions and client requests automatically route to the right stakeholders.
Core Capabilities: Where VaultRE Ends and ApproveThis Begins
VaultRE excels at centralizing property data and client interactions but wasn't built for multi-layer approvals. ApproveThis fills this gap without requiring approvers to learn new systems. Key synergies include:
- No license sprawl: External partners approve listings via email without VaultRE logins
- Financial guardrails: Auto-approve price changes under $5K but escalate major discounts
Example: A boutique agency reduced offer review time from 72 hours to 9 minutes by connecting VaultRE listing alerts to ApproveThis' tiered approval rules.
Two Battle-Tested Workflows for Real Estate Teams
1. Instant Listing Reviews
The Problem: New properties sit unlisted for days while brokers manually email PDFs to compliance teams.
The Fix: VaultRE automatically sends new listings to ApproveThis, where:
- Legal checks disclosure documents
- Brokers validate pricing strategy
- Marketing confirms photo rights
Real Impact: Melbourne-based ReMax franchise cut listing delays by 41% using parallel approvals.
2. Qualified Lead Follow-Ups
The Problem: Sales teams waste hours cold-calling unvetted buyer enquiries.
The Fix: ApproveThis automatically sends approved leads to VaultRE's holding area with:
- Pre-filled contact details
- Budget verification flags
- Priority scoring from deal calculators
Real Impact: Perth developer increased conversion rates 22% by filtering tyre-kickers pre-CRM entry.
Team-Specific Benefits Beyond Time Savings
Sales Teams
Reduce client wait times with auto-escalated approvals during holidays using ApproveThis' vacation delegation. Example: If a sales director is OOO, urgent offers route to their deputy without manual reassignment.
Compliance Officers
Embed regulatory checks into approval chains. Require mandatory legal sign-off for properties with heritage overlays or zoning exceptions flagged in VaultRE records.
Leadership
Monitor pipeline bottlenecks via ApproveThis' real-time dashboards. See exactly which listings get stuck at financial review versus marketing approvals.
Implementation Guide: 3 Steps to Live Workflows
- Connect VaultRE to ApproveThis via Zapier (15 minutes)
- Map your existing approval processes using conditional logic (1-2 hours)
- Train approvers on email-based decisions (10 minutes)
Pro Tip: Start with one high-volume process like offer acceptances before expanding to complex workflows.
Critical Path Considerations
Do: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-approve price changes under 2%
Don't: Overcomplicate early workflows – add stages incrementally
Watch For: VaultRE webhook delays during peak listing periods (mitigate with Zapier retries)
Why This Isn't Just Another Integration
Combining ApproveThis with VaultRE solves three unique real estate challenges:
- Client Privacy: External vendors approve NDAs without accessing full VaultRE records
- Audit Trails: Every approval decision links to specific VaultRE listing versions
- Market Agility: Adjust approval thresholds dynamically during hot markets
Getting Started
ApproveThis offers specialized real estate workflow templates pre-configured for VaultRE integrations. These include:

Final Word: Where Automation Meets Accountability
ApproveThis doesn't replace human judgment – it structures it. By embedding governance directly into VaultRE workflows, teams maintain velocity without compromising oversight. The result? Fewer compliance fires, faster closings, and happier clients who don't get stuck in approval purgatory.
