SkySlope

Vorteile

Skyslope is extremely user friendly on the agent side. It recognizes your saved file in Zip and autopopulates when you choose that address in the search feature. Digisign is a dream and never seems to have issues as many other digital signature software programs do.

Nachteile

The reporting features on the broker side need to be tweaked. They are not nearly as user friendly as the agent side of the software. Also, for some reason we have never been able to integrate our MLS listings automatically.

Vorteile

Integration with forms.
Setting up checklists.
Uploading docs to files or digisign.

Nachteile

The website look is a bit inconsistent from one area to another.
There is not a persistent menu across all areas of the site.
It is difficult to be in a doc and view another area of the site.
Logging in is weird. For some reason, logging in is a hassle. Skyslope almost always says it can't log me in.

Vorteile

Nothing. There is nothing to like about skyslope. I'm shocked they still have customers. I however have no choice as it is what my brokerage chooses to use. Skyslope is such a bad product I've considered switching brokerages over it. That's how bad it is...

Nachteile

It doesn't make any logical sense to have 2 folders for each transaction. One for the forms and one for the transaction. You can't even access the transactions on the app, only the forms. So don't think you can get away with only using the transaction folder. Nothing is easy with Skyslope. It syncs to nothing. Honestly, this product hurts my brain so much I might leave my brokerage over it. Having to download a form so I can upload it to skyslope should not be a standard practice in the 21st century, sorry, not sorry.

Vorteile

Ease of use! Such an easy program to use and the customer service is awesome

Nachteile

Learning Curve. DigiSign didn't work initally but now it does

Vorteile

Skyslope makes it really easy to stay organized as you’re moving through a real estate transaction. It’s very easy to use and keep on top of your deals!

Nachteile

So far I haven’t found anything about sky slope that I didn’t like

Vorteile

There is a clean look to the software. Customization of the software color schemes is nice to match your company brokerage.

Nachteile

I am a major researcher before I pull the trigger on anything. I made sure with the sales rep that the software would do (or not do) what I needed it to do before I pulled the trigger. I especially explained that I have been burned too many times by paying upfront set-up fees and signing contracts on products due to being burned too many times before. Being promised the software would perform as advertised and with posted performance guarantees of help and responsiveness, I went against my own rule, paid the setup fee, and moved forward with Skyslope.

Getting set-up I again researched, watched the tutorials, the webinars, read all the FAQ, and literally went through the entire self-help section to learn the system in and out. When working with my dedicated support rep, I knew more about the system than they did. It was really quite sad. It was clear their support reps knew very little about their software and even less about the industry as a whole and how things flow. I sadly had to ask for a new support rep that was knowledgable, and they admitted that this person was new that was assigned to me. My assigned rep was wonderful to work with. The problem was the system did not perform at all to the sold standards and did not contain the features I was promised. My new support rep spent her time trying to figure out "workarounds" for me to try and get the system closer to the promised results. But eventually the growing list of "yeah, the system doesn't do that, but you can ta

Vorteile

Clean Look and Feel but NOTHING else. I thought this was better than what I had and now I regret it.

Nachteile

MLS Integration, Forms and SkySlope Suite - their apps don't sync properly. In addition, no access to real estate records, e signature - makes you download the forms, they charge you a fee to change the required in forms. This company does not care or value smaller brokerages.

Vorteile

Honestly, the fact that they are redoing the UI soon shows thst its not great so nothing.

Nachteile

Everything. Its an mess.maybe the fact that theres so kuch stuff and none of it seems to be what you need or where youd think sonething should go.

Vorteile

I have used Skyslope since 2014, it worked ok in the early years.

Nachteile

The new design/interface since 2023/2024. It does not work.

Vorteile

The ease of use of the software is good.

Nachteile

The customer service of this company is one of the worst I have every encountered in my 20 years in the business. Their business practices are nothing short of deceptive. I was told my only option was one package, when in reality there were other, less expensive packages available. I was never told this until I tried to cancel and then they tried to haggle like I was buying a car. Completely unprofessional. I will never give this company another dime.

Vorteile

transaction checklist its great.

Nachteile

costumer service , don't know what they're doing dodging me form one to another and issues not resolved

Vorteile

I love that the operator can upload files for convenient access by other users, making it an easy one stop shop for transaction management.

Nachteile

The incompatibility within its own portals (from Forms to Transactions).

Vorteile

Not much. Just when I think I may change my opinion I am reminded how annoying and unfriendly this program is. Not to mention that the Realtor is now doing the work of the Administration person. I am sure it is time saving for the company, why wouldn't you want someone else do your job for free.

Nachteile

Everything needs improving. Not one thing works consistantly, not to mention being booted out of the whole thing every 5 minutes. Meh.

Vorteile

User friendly for creating transactions and storing documents, very useful for auditing files on the backend.

Nachteile

The Digisign integration would create corrupt files that couldn't be opened. Also the 1-year term auto-renews, so you cannot pivot to another product easily if it doesn't suit your needs. Seriously, is this 1998? Who does auto-renewing term contracts?

Vorteile

I love that it literally guides me through all the information that is needed for me to have a complete file. I can check back and make sure all docs were approved but if something has gone sideways, I always have communication from my brokerage to go in address what needs attention.

Nachteile

If the feature is there, I haven't figured it out but I would LOVE to be able just add contacts to the file and it pull the information through the steps of building it out. For example, in real estate which is what I use it for, we have the lender, the title company, the other agent, the buyers and the sellers. While the clients and agents are always different, a lot of times we work with the same lender or title company so it would just be great to be able to have their info autopopulate into the file if selected.

Vorteile

Makes simple the complex nature of paperless file management for agents and management alike. It has the simplest layout of any file management systems I've worked with. Such a robust set of features that it even makes document review a breeze.

Nachteile

Nothing really, the system is created with the user in mind so the UX concepts make difficult to dislike this program. There are some glitches but, the staff are there to iron out the wrinkles should you run across any.

Vorteile

So easy to use! It provides everything a real estate office needs for basic contract, generation, disclosure, generation, file review, and integration with back office accounting systems

Nachteile

Document management was a little difficult. It would be nice if it were created in an alphabetical order.

Vorteile

Wow!! Great product and totally makes my real estate life so much easier. You can access documents from anywhere making it easy to work from anywhere. I absolutely love that there’s a separate section that lets you know if you have an incomplete items so you can stay on top of your transactions. I feel so much more organized now and being able to email documents directly into a transaction makes my life simple and quick. It can only get better from here with even more technology. They also have an app that allow you to upload and view documents straight from your phone or tablet.

Nachteile

I don’t have really any dislikes for the product.

Vorteile

It has just enough integrations to let you do almost your entire transaction management process from one place. It also has a very clean, modern and easy to use interface once you get the hang of it.

Nachteile

Sometimes it falls prey to server issues, and sometimes seemingly basic features are not to be found. They seem to add new features more often than they fix old issues.

Vorteile

As the title of my review states, SkySlope allows me to categorize my transactions with ease. As it is set up within my brokerage, I know exactly which documents i need to coordinate my transactions and limit my liability at the end of the day. Linking up with a transaction auditor in my company, there are always multiple sets of eyes reviewing every document which ensures that nothing is missed. Gone are the days of giant stacks and binders full of paper. Everything is now digital.

Nachteile

The learning curve can be steep, and I've noticed that older agents in my office have trouble. But that could be true for most software. I haven't had much trouble and recent changes to the site have made things much easier when creating new property files.

Vorteile

The ease of use and ability to vet files and organize paperwork. Even with a couple glitches is very good program and easy to use. Exceptional Time saver - no longer looking for files to find out what is missing. Our Account Rep is exceptional, so is their support team - very efficient and help is always quick and friendly.

Nachteile

There are still glitches to be worked out and only just launched the paperwork into Canada. There was a fair amount of working around at the start to not only convert from American to Canadian information.

Vorteile

I like the fact that our whole company has officially gone paperless and agents are allowed to email documents right into the checklist.

Nachteile

I don't like that every time you need to download a document, you have to click on it and wait for it to load and then save it. I wish there was a download button.

Vorteile

Skyslope was implemented by our company last year. This product has made the communication between agents and transaction coordinators seamless! The ease of use on the agent side and finalization on the the TC side is 2nd to none!!!

Nachteile

Im not a huge fan of the "Input Assistant". It seems to slow the process down a little bit but this is a TINY little thing! 99.99% of this system is amazing!

Vorteile

SkySlope is very easy to use once you understand what it is there for. The support is stellar for problems both big and small. My favorite part is that they are constantly improving the program with exciting ideas.

Nachteile

Waiting for the deployment of those exciting ideas can be painful when it seems the date is said to be one thing but really ends up being much later. But I suppose it is better to have something to look forward to than feeling trapped.

Vorteile

Others recommended it in the industry; was sold to us as a very premium product.

Nachteile

The customer Success Manager failed to deliver a good experience so we could be set up for success. If anything, it's been a bad experience.

Vorteile

The biggest pro of this software is the fact that all of our documents are located in one place for easy access. Each agent has their own account provided by our company. It also has a Digital Signature program called DigiSign which makes life easier for all agents.

Nachteile

Sometimes DigiSign does not act appropriately to commands but support has always been there to help.

Vorteile

I love that this can store email communication during a sales transaction, allowing you to free up space on your own server or database while still saving important details.

Nachteile

The standardized email addresses can be a little long, but it is nice that it creates an address unique to each transaction.

Vorteile

This software makes all transactions seamless and crystal clear. All documents are in their own organized files under the proper folder.

Nachteile

There is a lag on the software, when you search a file it takes forever to fully load.

Vorteile

I like having a central place that I go to see all paperwork and what is outstanding for each deal. It is easy to search by agent name or property address. Super user friendly. Makes my life easier everyday.

Nachteile

The website does crash every once in awhile, which can be very problematic in a fast paced real estate market.

Vorteile

The checklist is my favorite feature of SkySlope. This option allows me the confidence to make sure I have all of the necessary documents for each transaction. I also like how the checklist is set up for each type of real estate transaction.

Nachteile

I do not like the fact that we have to move our documents over from Instanet Forms. I wish all of our core documents were accessible in SkySlope for one stop access.

Vorteile

I like that I can easily upload my documents into each transaction or folder nice and organized as I go. When something needs to be signed I can get it done easily without the hassle of transporting hard copies around town. I enjoy the ease of emailing the document for digital signature through digisign, and even better that it automatically get's sent to me and the other parties when it's all signed. I can't count all the hours, ink, paper, gas, and hassle Sky Slope has saved me by providing this digital service.

Nachteile

Moving documents from previous transactions or from working documents into a new transaction can be difficult. But it's possible I could use a tutorial to learn how to do this easier than downloading and re uploading each document.

Vorteile

Really loved the integration with Zipforms and the ability to have an all in one transaction management software. Sending out contracts to multiple parties for signatures was very easy since it's done within Skyslope then saved to the current deal file when completed.

Nachteile

The user interface was a little outdated. Also would like a better mobile app to include all pc features.

Vorteile

Super user friendly! Just upload or email your documents to a special skyslope email address that generates like magic. Documents appear on this platform and are easily accessible for me along with my staff. Big time saver.

Nachteile

I wish I’d had Skyslope years ago! It’s such a time saver, and help is a click away...but seldom needed thanks to ease of use.

Vorteile

Document and digital signature management

Nachteile

Keeps glitching and signing in completely off periodically and I need to constantly save the forms while inputting info prior to sending to client for DocuSign and even through DocuSign

Vorteile

What's not to like? This is our entire company paperless! All of our transactions stored in there, no more filing cabinets!

Nachteile

There is just 1 feature...you cannot access certain areas from other areas, you have to go back out to the main screen again.

Vorteile

There are SO many features and uploading documents to crazy easy. You can also have people sign documents straight from your account. The customer service can't be matched.

Nachteile

I wish they had people come out and train agents on how to use the technology as many have a heard time learning it.

Vorteile

There customer support is gold standard. Want a pizza? call them and they will order it for you. It's that over the top.

Nachteile

It's security is falling behind the curve in the age of block chain. The product is one of titans at the moment.

Vorteile

This is an agent intuitive platform. Our agents love it! The staff loves it! The Managing Brokers love it! We have increased our efficiency and processing time. The customer support is the best I seen in any industry. This is a top notch product and company full of top notch people! This a platform that our agents truly support.

Nachteile

My only complaint is a that it took us so long to decide to on board.

Vorteile

It is easy to use and it keeps your files organized and ready for review. Its easy to keep track and a checklist.

Nachteile

There is really nothing I can say that I like least about this software. It was very user friendly and helpful.

Vorteile

Skyslope is very easy to use and comprehensive. I can upload documents, split files and track the status.

Nachteile

I have no negative comments about Skyslope.

Vorteile

SkySlope keeps the process of deal/transaction reporting seamless. From uploading all paperwork to a transaction and communicating with the conveyance team, it keeps everything easy and organized. There are so many moving parts to a real estate transaction and players that are involved, that inputting all of the information onto SkySlope is a time saver in ensuring that you're in compliance with all paperwork.

Nachteile

The UI can be a bit confusing, especially when uploading a transaction on a listing that's yours. Writing in "notes" related to a uploaded file can sometimes glitch and not save.

Vorteile

I'm a Real Estate Agent and my real estate brokerage uses skyslope for document management and to keep track of deals and contact info of clients. I like how it eliminates the back and forth emails I used to have to send to my conveyancer at the brokerage. Now I just upload the documents directly to Skyslope and my conveyancer gets it right away.

Nachteile

I don't know what the cost is because my brokerage is paying for it but it probably isn't cheap. Also, having all the document management on a platform is good but I often have to call my conveyancer on the phone to specifically clarify on the notes she wrote on the skyslope documents checklist. So it doesn't fully eliminate the communication that I need to have with my conveyancer.

Vorteile

I haven't found on thing yet. I was hoping to like to alot as I wanted to get away from the Zillow product.

Nachteile

I came to Skyslope with an open mind. I know changing software is not usually fun but I was looking forward to getting into what I was told was going to be fantastic. However, it takes much longer, it's at least double the work and I now have to set my own templates for docusign agreements? Why would I want to add to my day by having to make templates for each new document? Why isn't this pre-done for the thousands of agents our agency just brought on?

Vorteile

My business can be organized all in one space. I can easily have a file and view a checklist of everything i need to get done!

Nachteile

No features are missing that I would notice on my day to day business.

Vorteile

I've used many different transaction management software in my business and this by hands down is the easiest to use, the dashboard is easy to navigate, everything is kept in one place, contact, parties involved, e-sign capability, I couldn't say enough about this program!

Nachteile

So far I have no cons except in the beginning of the setup stages they weren't able to pull the real estate forms yet so I still had to use Form Simplicity and then transfer them over but that was resolved quickly.

Vorteile

This is very user friendly and keeps me organized for all my real estate transactions

Nachteile

n/a, this product is perfect for daily use on the job

Vorteile

I like the ease of use to manage my transaction management. Also, really like that I can hire a transaction coordinator through them that is highly trained on Skyslope.

Nachteile

To date, I have not found anything that I don't like about using Skyslope to manage my real estate transactions.

Vorteile

Our company implemented SkySlope in our office about 6 months ago. It has been a dream to learn and to use. The customer support is outstanding and response time is super quick. This software is super user friendly. When I have a new listing or a contract on someone else's listing, the procedure is quick and efficient. I can get it all entered and sent to our admin with just a few clicks on my keyboard. I love that it knows what the form is that I am trying to send. I just have to click on the right one and attach it.

Nachteile

There is nothing that I don't like about this software.

Vorteile

I love how easy it is to keep track of the closings we have coming and all the contact information! Looking back at old files is super easy as well!

Nachteile

Not really anything that I don't like about Skyslope, maybe if its transaction/tasks were a little easier to use!

Vorteile

SkySlope is such a great product for my business! It is very simple to use and great for organizing digital files. I also love that it has a great e-sign system which I use very frequently.

Nachteile

Every once in a while it can be difficult to load documents into the software, but I suspect that is mostly due to internet connection.
