Assigning Appraiser, Referral Source or Solicitor to the Deal

The instructions below explain how to assign a participant of type Appraiser, Referral Source, or Solicitor to the deal. Complete the following steps:

 

  1. Open the Participants screen by clicking Participants in the Left Navigation Pane.


     

  2. For the participant type (Appraiser, Referral Source, Solicitor) you want to assign to the deal, click its Select button. The screen refreshes to display the Participant Search-Participant Information section.


     

  3. From the Search Type dropdown, ensure Assign to Deal is selected.
     

  4. In the search criteria fields, enter information regarding the participant you are searching for to assign to the deal.
     

  5. Click the Search button. The results of your search are displayed in the Search Results section.

    Note:
    If the participant is not displayed in the Search Results, then it could mean that participant has not yet been added to Expert. See Adding an Appraiser, Referral Source or Solicitor. However, if you do know that the participant has been added to Expert, but do not see the participant, then that means there is an “agent on deal” discrepancy, explained as follows:

    When an agent (or the agent’s administrator or assistant) adds a participant to Expert with the Hierarchy Level of User (see step 6 in the Adding an Appraiser, Referral Source or Solicitor to Expert steps), then that participant will only show on a deal in which the "agent on deal" is the same agent who added the participant. Therefore, if you do not see the participant after conducting a search, it either means another agent could have added the participant you are seeking, or you are in the deal of another agent. The "agent on deal" is the agent shown in the Agent dropdown on the Participants screen and can be changed if needed to allow you to access participants that you have added to Expert.



     

  6. For the participant you want to assign to the deal, click its Select button.
     

  7. The screen refreshes to show the Participants screen again, and the recently-added participant is displayed.
