(Note: see Section 6: Impersonating Agents to learn about creating an ‘empty’ transaction on behalf of an agent so they can add forms, etc. at a later time). 1. To create an empty transaction for yourself, from the Broker Dashboard, click the Transactions Widget to get started. 2. Give the transactions a Name (which is required), and use any of the other fields you care to. Be very sure to UNcheck the “Use Wizard” selection. Then click Create. (Note: MLS or Realist Tax data are options for import sources. Typically, one would use tax data if it is a new listing and MLS data if it is an offer. If you choose, you do not have to import any property data and can create a truly empty transaction, much like an empty folder, with only a name.)
