Dotloop IS DON’T LOOP! UN-USER Friendly  NC Realtors – real estate agents!  Do NOT send your offer through Dotloop!  Please send your offer as a PDF attachment in an email with the subject line including the address and keyword OTP or Offer!  In these times of multiple offers, do you REALLY want a listing agent to go through hassles trying to get your offer out of the cloud?  I surely don’t!  And I’m a computer nut that probably works 5 x faster than you!  Here’s why you’re doing your buyer a DIS-SERVICE by sending through Dotloop. In the first image below, you’ll see where I have opened up a document inside of Dotloop and only find a SHARE button.  In the second image, you’ll see that I actually had to hover over the hidden buttons to have them appear to me and select from the hidden menu.  Shame on Dotloop!

While the North Carolina Real Estate Commission (NCREC) doesn’t require the reporting of square footage of properties offered for sale (or rent), Canopy MLS does. NCREC Residential Square Footage Guidelines state: It is essential that the information real estate agents give to prospective purchasers be accurate. At a minimum, information concerning square footage should include the amount of living area in the dwelling. Note in the listing data and advise purchasers of any space that does not meet the criteria for living area but which contributes to the value of the dwelling; for example, unfinished basements, unfinished attics (with permanent stairs), unfinished bonus rooms and other unfinished rooms. Decks, balconies, porches, garages and carports should not be included in any category of finished or unfinished area. As a general rule, the most reliable way for an agent to obtain accurate square-footage data is by personally measuring the dwelling unit and calculating the square footage […]
