Who is this real estate / estate agency onboarding onboarding template for?

If you run a team that needs to onboard customers then the real estate / estate agency onboarding template is a perfect starting point.

You'll first be able to tailor the template to your team's needs, by editing, removing or adding tasks to suit your onboarding process. When it's perfect, onthen has all the tools you need to easily invite customers to it and make sure all the tasks get done, on time.


How do customers use it?

First you'll invite customers to the checklist. You can either send an invite manually, through our HubSpot integration, or by using an invite link that lets anyone with the link create a new checklist.

Your customers won't need to create an account or a password, they'll simply access it with a 6-digit code we'll send to their email.

If any task gets forgotten about, we'll send email reminders to nudge your customers to complete everything.
