Introduction:
The Transaction Management App allows users to finalize, sign, act and manage the Agreements (Lease, Rental, Purchase and Sale) in a very efficient way.
Bildhive’s Transaction Management App makes the process more efficient because it:
Integrates with the rest of the Bildhive Apps, allowing the sales agent to pull information automatically from the other applications to populate contracts
Integrates with DocuSign for Real Estate SKU to easily route, sign and securely store all agreements
Complies with the most stringent global security standards
Generates agreements that are lawful and admissible in a court of law
!! The Home Model Configurator, Site Plan Configurator, Contract Configurator and Transaction Management App work Hand in Hand.
In the Home Model Configurator, you enter all the Details about your home model (including floorplans).
In the Site Plan Configurator, you enter the information about each Lot (including which Models can be built in it, any Premiums, etc.)
The Contract Configurator allows you to configure all the Contract fields
!! MAKE SURE TO ADD ALL THE FIELDS YOU NEED TO APPEAR
- The Transaction Management App pulls Information about the Home Models, the Lots, and the Contracts containing all the fields. After that, you fill out the Contract with the Transaction Information. Lastly, you Send the Contract to all parties for Approval, Signature, or Review.

First, Log Into their DocuSign account and create a Ticket to Enable Event Recipient Autoresponded to receive Notifications in Bildhive when a transaction fails due to a Bad Email Address.
