When Paperwork Meets Property Listings
Let's be real: real estate teams have better things to do than chase signatures. Between managing listings, coordinating showings, and keeping clients happy, approval bottlenecks shouldn't be what tanks your deal flow. That's where connecting ApproveThis (your new approval sheriff) and EasyBroker (the MLS workhorse) through Zapier turns "waiting on approvals" into "making moves happen."
Why This Combo Doesn't Just Work – It Works Smart
EasyBroker keeps your properties and contacts organized. ApproveThis keeps decisions moving. Together through Zapier, they handle the administrative heavy lifting so your team can focus on what actually sells houses:
- No more approval black holes: Auto-create approval tasks in ApproveThis when new leads pop up in EasyBroker
- Stop playing phone tag with brokers: Get decisions via email so external partners don't need another login
- Kill spreadsheet tracking: See every pending deal approval right in your dashboard
For brokers managing 50+ listings or agencies coordinating between multiple teams, this isn't just convenient – it's how you avoid missing commission deadlines because someone forgot to click "approve."
Real-World Scenarios (That Don't Suck)
1. New Lead? Don't Let Them Cool Off
Here's the problem: Your agents find a hot lead in EasyBroker. Now they need manager approval to offer exclusive listings. Cue three days of Slack pings and missed opportunities.
The fix: Zapier auto-creates an ApproveThis request whenever a new high-value contact hits EasyBroker. Managers approve/deny directly from email (no login required), which then triggers:
- Auto-add approved leads to your CRM drip campaign
- Instant notifications to the listing agent
- Rejection reasons logged back in EasyBroker notes
Who this helps: Brokerages handling 100+ monthly leads where even 24-hour delays mean lost deals.
2. Contract Sign-Offs That Don't Require Carrier Pigeons
Ever had a deal stall because the CFO is at a conference and can't physically sign off on commission splits? Yeah, we've all been there.
The fix: Use ApproveThis' approval thresholds to auto-approve deals under $10K while routing bigger commissions through VP email approvals. All status updates sync back to EasyBroker so agents know exactly when to push for closing.
Who this helps: Teams with remote executives or multiple office locations where in-person sign-offs are a logistical nightmare.
Setting This Up Without Needing an IT Degree
If you can order DoorDash, you can connect these tools:
- Grab your EasyBroker API keys (here's their guide)
- Connect EasyBroker + Zapier + ApproveThis (takes 8 minutes)
- Build your first "Zap":
"When new high-value contact appears in EasyBroker → Create ApproveThis request with property details → If approved, add to VIP lead list"
Pro tip: Start with one workflow (like offer approvals), nail it, then expand to inspections or vendor payments.
Why Your Accountant Will High-Five You
ApproveThis isn't just about speed – it's about audit trails. Every decision on listings, commissions, or vendor contracts gets logged with:
- Who approved/rejected (and when)
- Comments from all stakeholders
- Auto-archived to your cloud storage
Come tax season or compliance reviews, you're not scrambling through inboxes – just pull the approval records tied to each EasyBroker transaction.
Teams That Win With This Combo
Brokerage Managers
Get real-time visibility into which deals are stuck and why. Use ApproveThis' dashboard to spot bottlenecks (looking at you, agent who never checks emails).
Transaction Coordinators
Auto-route inspection approvals based on property type in EasyBroker. No more manual sorting – conditional logic handles it.
Marketing Teams
Require dual approvals for big spend on listing promotions. CFO approves budget, marketing director OKs the creative – both happen in parallel via email.
Cool Features You'll Actually Use
Beyond basic approvals, this integration handles:
- Vacation coverage: Auto-reassign approvals when brokers are OOO
- Dynamic calculations: Auto-flag commission splits that don't add up to 100%
- Escalation rules: Bump stalled approvals to secondary reviewers after 24hrs
No, Really – Your Approvers Don't Need Another Login
Key detail: External partners (staging companies, photographers, etc.) can approve requests via email without needing an EasyBroker license. They get the request, click approve/reject, done. No training required.
When Not to Use This Integration
This isn't magic pixie dust. If your team refuses to use EasyBroker properly, or you've got five people total, maybe keep using email. But for growing teams juggling 50+ active listings? This is your bottleneck buster.
Ready to Stop Chasing Approvals?
ApproveThis plays nice with EasyBroker through Zapier – no coding required. Either:
- DIY: Connect your accounts and use our pre-built templates
- Get guided: Book a 15-minute demo to see real brokerage workflows
Either way, you're about to turn approval delays into your competitor's problem.
