When should I add a buyer?
Add a buyer deal once their offer is accepted. A buyer deal in Gable runs from the accepted offer to closing: the conditions, the deposit, the key dates, the appointments and the documents. The house hunt before that is not tracked here.
Pick the right status
- Conditionally accepted: the offer is accepted with conditions still to clear. This is where most buyer deals start.
- Pending: the deal is firm, with every condition waived or met.
- Closed: a purchase that has already closed, added for your records.
Add the deal
- 1On a computer, open Transactions and press Add buyer. The New buyer form opens.
- 2Fill in Buyer name and Email. The email is required: it is how your buyer signs in to their portal.
- 3Fill in Property address, City, Purchase price and Closing date. On a deal that is not closed, the closing date has to be today or later.
- 4Pick the Property type if you know it. Condo paperwork, like the status certificate, only goes on a condo's roadmap, so a freehold purchase does not get condo tasks.
- 5Choose the Status, then press Create buyer.
On a phone, press Add on Transactions, choose Buyer, fill in the form and press Add buyer.
After you add it
- The buyer roadmap builds the deal's tasks.
- Enter conditions, the deposit and dates on the deal page, so they show in your buyer's portal.
- When the last condition is cleared, press Mark pending on the deal.
- When it closes, or falls through, use the Status menu on the deal: Closed, Terminated or Archive. Undo puts it back if you picked the wrong one.
Note: Only conditionally accepted and pending deals count toward your plan. A closed deal added as history does not. See Do buyer deals count toward my plan?.
If that doesn't work
- You see "That closing date has already passed.": a deal that has not closed needs a closing date from today on. If it has already closed, set Status to Closed.
- You cannot create the deal because your plan is full: see Do buyer deals count toward my plan?.
