ApproveThis manages your RealScout Integration approvals.

When Bureaucracy Meets Property Search

Let's get real: real estate teams waste 12 hours a month chasing down signatures. Client onboarding forms stuck in inboxes. Offer approvals buried under 37 unread texts. Listing price change requests lost between CRMs. ApproveThis and RealScout fix this through Zapier automation - no coding required.

Here's the playbook for teams who want to:

• Auto-convert client actions into tracked approval requests
• Eliminate spreadsheet-based approval tracking

Why This Combo Works (When Others Don't)

RealScout tracks client behavior. ApproveThis enforces decision processes. Together, they create closed-loop accountability most real estate tools miss.

Core Benefits for Brokerages & Teams

For leadership: See approval bottlenecks in real-time dashboards. No more "I thought Jamie handled that."

For agents: Get client requests approved during school pickups via email. No app switching.

For ops teams: Automatic audit trails showing who approved what - and why.

Key differentiator? Approvers don't need RealScout licenses. Critical when getting external partners or clients to sign off on listings.

Real-World Use Cases That Actually Matter

1. Client Onboarding That Doesn’t Suck

The problem: New client forms get "lost" between RealScout entries and brokerage approval requirements.

The fix: Auto-create ApproveThis requests when RealScout detects new homebuyer activity. Route to:

• Brokerage managers for compliance checks
• Legal teams for contract reviews
• Agents for final client confirmation

Example: Luxe Properties slashed onboarding delays from 48hrs to 4hrs by adding automatic escalation rules when brokers miss deadlines.

2. Offer Approvals That Keep Deals Moving

The problem: Buyers lose patience while agents chase broker sign-offs on submitted offers.

The fix: Trigger approval workflows directly from RealScout client activity:

Scenario: Client saves a $2.3M penthouse → Auto-generate offer approval request with:

• Automatic commission calculations
• Broker review thresholds
• Client terms from RealScout notes

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' vacation delegation so deals don't die when brokers are at closings.

3. Compliance Without the Paperwork Nightmares

The problem: Manual tracking of required disclosures and sign-offs.

The fix: Auto-create audit trails by connecting RealScout client milestones to approval chains:

How it works: Client views 10+ properties → System flags for mandatory consultation review → Routes to compliance officer with RealScout activity log attached.

Setup That Takes Less Time Than a Coffee Run

1. Create a Zapier account (free tier works)

2. Choose RealScout as trigger app:

- Pick triggers like "New Client Created" or "Property Saved"

3. Select ApproveThis as action app:

- Map RealScout data to approval request fields

4. Activate and test with a $0 test property

Time saved: 6-8 hours/month vs building custom integrations

Why This Isn’t Just Another “Integration”

ApproveThis adds three layers most real estate teams lack:

Conditional routing: Send high-value listings to senior brokers automatically

Approval thresholds: Auto-approve price changes under 2%

Client-facing transparency: Share approval status pages without exposing internal tools

Example: Citywide Realty uses calculated fields to auto-flag under-market listings for urgent review.

Teams That Win With This Setup

1. Brokerages Scaling Past 50 Agents

Before: Inconsistent approval processes across offices

After: Enforce SOPs while letting offices customize approval steps

2. Teams Managing Remote Clients

Before: Email chains with clients CC’d on 12+ messages

After: Clients approve via email without logging into RealScout

3. Property Management Firms

Before: Lease renewals stuck in property managers' inboxes

After: Auto-escalate unanswered approvals to regional directors after 24hrs

Objections We Hear (And Shut Down)

"We already use RealScout workflows."

Cool. Now add enforceable accountability when people ignore those workflows.

"Our team prefers Slack approvals."

Great! ApproveThis sends approval links to Slack. But now you get audit trails and escalation rules.

How to Not Screw This Up

Do:

- Start with one process (client onboarding OR offer approvals)

- Use calculated fields for automatic commission checks

Don't:

- Try to automate every approval day one

- Forget to set vacation delegates for approvers
