Enterprise Account User Management

How do I add or remove/suspend users on Propy?

Using the Administration Console on the Propy Platform

Propy will set up your company account or “organization” before we launch your platform. Those granted admin privileges can manage and add users by clicking the gear or Settings icon in the main menu and then the “Administration” and “Users” buttons.

The brokerage admin has two options to add agent users in bulk: 1) with an “Invitation Link” they paste into an email; or 2) add each agent manually. For security, the admin confirms the response to the bulk request to join the organization. Manually added users do not require admin’s confirmation.


Two Ways to Add Users

Choose to let users add their own contact info by using the “Invitation Link” on the User Management screen available to Admins. This works well to invite multiple users by including the link in an email. Or manually add users. See both options.


Manually Add a User

Click “Add User,” complete their contact info, specifying a role the user plays from a drop down list, the office they’re in (which would have been set up for your organization). Check the box if the user has rights to audit documents or if they’re a listing coordinator with admin rights. It’s quick and easy to add an assistant user with admin rights.

They will receive an email notification that they’ve been added to the Propy Platform,  “All your transactions will now be visible to the company’s administrator,” with a link to “Proceed” that takes them onto the platform.

We do not allow deleting users, since there will be historical records on blockchain that relate to the past users. You may “suspend” users.

New users’ first step is to navigate to Profile/General Settings and then click “Convert to Agent” and complete all required fields in their profile and click “Save Changes.” We verify phone numbers with a text notification.


Inviting with a Link

The fastest way to add users is to send the unique link to your organization’s (or branch office) registration page is through your own email. Look for “Organization’s Invite Link” on the “Add User” screen and click the “Copy” icon to paste into an email to invite participants at your company or team.


Suspending a User

You may edit users by clicking their name, and “Suspend” a user (vs remove) by clicking the three dots on the right to select “Suspend” or “Reactivate.” The user will not be notified unless they’ve been reactivated. To remove a user completely, please send an email to support@propy.com.

What reporting is available for Teams and Companies?

The Administration capabilities on the Team and Enterprise level products include various reports on Users and Listings:

  • Listings for all users are displayed in a customizable report showing their status and price differential. Choose the columns of information you wish to display or download for the report. See where to find and manage the Listings report under the Administration menu.

  • Users are added and managed and reported on for transactions, volume, commissions, last active and more. You may customize this and other reports. This video shows how.

    To access the checklist click on this icon on the right side of the screen. You can assign a checklist from the ones that you already have on your account or create a new one.

    Once assigned, the checklist allows you to track which documents have been uploaded and assigned, as well as, which ones are pending signatures and by whom. Optionally, you can also enter due dates in order to help you track the deal’s documents.

    After assigning a checklist, you can edit it and update the property information, as well as add, remove, or rename checklist categories and document names.

    The checklist can be accessed by the agent, transaction coordinator, and broker. They can mark which of the documents are required for the deal, who needs to sign them and set a due date.

    At brokerage level - Can I have a single checklist for all of my agents?

    Yes. Please send us your template and we will recreate it to be available to all agents for all transactions.

    How to assign files and documents to checklist items?

    Documents can be assigned to the checklist either from the ”Assign Documents” button in the checklist or from the deal step. If you’d like to assign multiple documents to a checklist item, you can drag and drop them on top of it. This will allow you to create a duplicate item in the checklist and can even carry over the due dates and signers as well.

    You can finish the deal without completing all checklist items, however, you will receive a warning asking you to confirm that you’d like to continue without the missing items. You can go back and complete the remaining items at any point during the transaction.

    Can more than one checklist be assigned to a transaction?

    For now this is not an option but we are working towards it.

    How does due dates work?

    Due dates may be assigned to the checklist items. You can click on the ‘Edit checklist’ button in the checklist and then go to the calendar icon next to each checklist item. From there you can set the deadline either in terms of the offer acceptance date, or by ticking the box at the bottom or, you can select your own due date.

    Automated reminders will be sent two days prior and on the date of the deadline. If the item is not completed, its status will change to Overdue.

    How do you request signatures?

    To request a signature, you need to click on “Assign Signers” and set up the document. Note, due to DocuSign’s limitation of document size, you can only assign signers to documents smaller than 25 megabytes due to DocuSign restrictions. Don’t forget, the assignees would need to be added to the transaction as participants.

    Tips:

    1. If this is your first time using DocuSign through Propy, you’ll be prompted to adopt a signature before signing.

    2. When signing, you can quickly navigate through the document and action items by using the yellow markers on the right side.

    3. After you’ve filled out all of the fields, click on “Finish” in order to notify the other parties. After all signatures have been placed, the document status will be updated to “Pending Review.”

    4. To send the document out for signatures and notify the parties that need to sign, click “Send for signatures”.

    Do I need to complete all steps to finish a transaction?

    No, if you would like to skip a step you can click on the “Skip This Action” button on the “Transaction Steps” screen and automatically go to the next step.

    Can I start a Transaction at a later deal stage?

    Yes by selecting the deal status. Please view this video on selecting deal status.

    Audit

    Audit is the single place to review, approve or reject documents that have been uploaded and signed. Access Audit capabilities by clicking on the folder icon on the right side of the screen in the features menu. Please view this video to see how to audit documents.

    Who can audit files?

    You can choose who has access to audit files when deal participants are added. Click the checkbox to give access. You may also send documents for review by sharing the document by email within the DocuSign document management console.

    If you are the brokerage admin, you may allow users within your organization to audit documents. Please watch this video for how to enable users to audit documents.

    How to add users for Auditing Documents?

    What happens when I reject a file?

    Notification is sent by email to the agent who uploaded the file.

    How can I keep track of files that I have already reviewed?

    Within each step you will be able to see the ‘Status’ field. You can also check the status of the documents under the Audit screen by clicking the “Audit”, or check the status displayed in “initial documents”.

    Blockchain

    What is Blockchain?

    Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that records and shares every transaction that occurs in the network.

    Why does blockchain matter to me?

    Blockchain improves security throughout the transaction process; it can also secure the ownership records that are generated with every sale.

    What is recorded on blockchain?

    Propy creates a unique “hash” and specific schema for the deal recorded on blockchain. Note, the blockchain record is only used for document validation and doesn’t contain any personal information. Here is a video on the unique Blockchain address for the property transaction history and how you can add the QR code to the deed

    How is this recorded on blockchain?

    Our platform uses an ERC-20 smart contract recording data on the public Ethereum blockchain. Every transaction can be checked on the default blockchain explorer – Etherscan. Here is a video on the unique Blockchain address for the property transaction history and how you can add the QR code to the deed.

    What is the benefit of storing records on blockchain?

    Blockchain records add an additional layer of security for every document signed and stored on Propy. Thanks to this, you can be sure that no one else can access or change your documents.

    What are PRO Tokens?

    PRO tokens are the “fuel” or gas for Propy’s transaction platform and are used to make sure that all documents are recorded on the blockchain.

    How are PRO tokens used during a transaction?

    PRO tokens are used to “unlock” the smart contracts that get recorded on blockchain.

    How do I become a Crypto Certified Agent?

    There are two ways:

    • 1st: Complete a transaction using Propy’s Transaction Platform.

    • 2nd: Complete Propy’s Crypto Certified Agent 6-part webinar training.

    What is the benefit of being a Crypto Certified Agent?

    As a Crypto Certified Agent, you will receive a badge on your Propy profile and all of your listings.

    You will have a good understanding of the language and benefits of blockchain technology. Please refer to this video.

    Request Withdrawal of Propy PRO Tokens

    What are Propy PRO Tokens?

    Propy PRO tokens come in two categories: 

    1. purchased on a cryptocurrency exchange, such as Coinbase and
    2. earned in several ways, for example, by using the Propy platform for real estate transactions, the iOS app,  the Learn and Earn program and other rewards.

    Each reward holds its own lock-up period and conditions to be withdrawn. The first category is always available to be withdrawn from the Propy wallet within the secure platform – My PRO Balance – within the limitations of the quota but without restrictions.

    Typical of utility tokens on the Ethereum blockchain, they are meant to be used within the software ecosystem. On Propy, they  power or “unlock” smart contracts involved in real estate transactions and usually have a “lock up” period before they are eligible to be withdrawn from the platform.

    Conditions for Withdrawing PRO Tokens

    Each Propy platform user has preconditions to meet:

    1. A filled out W-8/W-9 form, depending on their location, which only needs to be submitted once per Propy account.
    2. A validated real estate license, if pertinent to the type of award.
    3. Lock up period is over.

    There are two types of withdrawals:
    Withdrawal – all amounts equal to or less than 500 PRO tokens will be eligible to be withdrawn if all other conditions are met.
    Withdrawal request – each withdrawal submission that is greater than 500 PRO will be loaded in a queue that will be pending manual approval by Propy. When the request is approved and then executed, the user will receive a notification and the withdrawals will be loaded in a batch transaction to save fees.

    What is the Lock Up Period for Tokens

    Lock up periods vary. Earned rewards, such as the Learn and Earn program, are usually held a year. Tokens purchased as part of the original token distribution plan may be held longer.

    How do I know if my Tokens are Unlocked

    1. Please log in to the Propy platform (use forgot password if that’s the case).
    2. Navigate to Profile / My PRO Balance towards the bottom of the menu.
    3. Below your balance will be the number of tokens eligible to be withdrawn at that time.

    How to Withdraw Propy PRO Tokens

    To make a withdrawal request, please sign in to the Propy platform – upper right corner of the website – and navigate to My PRO Balance where you will see both your balance and the tokens that are eligible to be withdrawn. Typical of utility-type tokens, they are meant to be used within the Propy platform and Ethereum blockchain-based ecosystem, powering smart contracts and other utilities, and are typically locked for a year. Certain conditions need to be met before requesting a withdrawal*:

    – the tokens are available to be withdrawn,
    – have a valid real estate license and
    – they were earned in valid ways,
    – you meet the KYC requirements, if your withdrawal request is over 100 tokens.

    Once you have available tokens for withdrawal, please follow these steps:

    To prepare for the first withdrawal, please log in to the Propy platform:

    1. Navigate to the Profile/General Settings page, “Convert to Agent” profile and complete all required fields, adding license number, click Save Changes.

    To make a withdrawal request of available tokens:

    1. Navigate to the “My Pro Balance” page towards the bottom of the menu.
    2. Enter the amount to be withdrawn, factoring in the transaction fee.
    3. Copy and paste your public wallet address.
    4. Click Submit.

    Generally, if you are withdrawing less than 1000 PRO, then you can expect your tokens to be available for withdrawal if and when all conditions are met.

    I have over 1000 PRO. How can I withdraw them?

    If your PRO token balance is greater than 1000 tokens, you’ll need to additionally prove your identity:

    On the Agent Profile/General Settings page, click Edit:

    1. Click “Verify your License number.” This step checks against the NRDS license database and is a manual process at this time.
    2. Click “Fill in W-9 (or W-8 if non-US citizen) form” filling in ALL fields, including city and state, and submit the document for review. You’ll receive a notification when it’s been approved.
    3. Click Save Changes.

    On the My PRO Balance page:

    1. Click “Withdraw of Tokens” and “Begin KYC” (Know Your Customer) which verifies your identity through the integrated and secure Plaid app. Enter info into the Plaid pop up.
    2. Check for the verification code sent to your mobile number and enter into the Plaid.
    3. Follow prompts, including a sending a selfie, until there’s an on-screen verification that the KYC process has been completed.
    4. Enter the amount up to 1000 tokens per withdrawal, 3000 total tokens a month, factoring in the transaction fee.
    5. Copy and paste your public wallet address.
    6. A screen shot of a successful KYC process is below.

    In both cases above, if the transaction is submitted successfully, you’ll receive a notification. If there is something missing, please see the message in your Profile page. You may use the chat icon to reach our support team.

    Please note that the time it takes for the withdrawal is dependent upon network traffic. Gas prices also fluctuate and if the gas price is high, you might decide to wait until it is lower.

    *Please see our Terms and Conditions for “Certain Risks Relating to Purchase, Sales and Use of Tokens.”

    What Limitations are there in withdrawing tokens?

    Certain steps are needed to be completed:

    – Know Your Customer (KYC) process must be completed for account holders with more than 100 tokens.
    – Filled out and approved W8/W9 form.
    – Verified real estate license. 
    – Lock-ups to be over.
