Writing a standard operating procedure for real estate

A real estate standard operating procedure needs to describe the actual work. In the example used here, the team is carrying out the property marketing instruction and producing the listing and client service pack. The document makes the intended outcome and the people responsible visible before the work moves to its next stage.

The workflow includes client intake, listing review, offer communication. These steps create different information needs: the listing agent needs enough detail to coordinate the work, while the property owner needs a clear basis for review. The editable sections let you record those responsibilities without starting from an empty page.
