The core challenge for Engel & Völkers Nashville agents lay in the meticulous, time-intensive processes involved in real estate transactions, especially during the critical period between listing a property on the market (Active on the MLS) and selecting an offer.
Agents were expected to manage:
- Communication with multiple clients (buyers and sellers).
- Coordination with lenders, title companies, and agents within the broader real estate ecosystem.
- Reviewing detailed, multi-page purchase agreements to identify key deal terms—a manual process prone to error and inefficiency.
This became particularly challenging as agents worked to balance multiple transactions simultaneously. Communication breakdowns, delays in offer analysis, and the duplication of work significantly impacted productivity, resulting in fewer listings handled per agent and inconsistencies in customer experience. Engel & Völkers Nashville needed a solution to streamline these workflows and alleviate pressure on their agents.
The Solution
Engel & Völkers Nashville turned to TopTick, a platform designed to automate and enhance the real estate offer management process. Here's how TopTick addressed these pain points:
Offer Tracking Automation
TopTick saved agents up to 10 hours per week by automating the offer-tracking process. Using the platform, agents could seamlessly track multiple offers in real time, drastically reducing administrative overhead.
Simplified Key Deal Metric Analysis
TopTick introduced a robust feature that broke each offer down into three Key Deal Point Categories:
- Offer Amount
- Timing
- Security
This automated breakdown eliminated the need to manually sift through lengthy, 15-page purchase agreements to identify the most critical details. By giving agents a concise view of key terms, the platform positioned them as trusted advisors, helping clients make well-informed decisions.
Streamlined Forms & Client Communication
TopTick provided agents with state-specific forms (including Tennessee State Forms) that they could complete digitally within the platform. Agents could also work directly with sellers upfront to establish their “Best Preferred Outcomes” using TopTick's seller preference walkthrough. Offers were received directly within the platform, making the entire process centralized and efficient.
By consolidating these tasks into one platform, agents could not only save time but more effectively manage the dynamic period of any transaction.
The Results
The implementation of TopTick yielded impressive results for Engel & Völkers Nashville and their agents.
- Improved Listing Capacity
John Clayton, one of Engel & Völkers Nashville’s agents, noted a significant productivity boost. By leveraging TopTick, he was able to manage three additional property listings, which previously would have been beyond his capacity. This directly translated to higher revenue potential.

TopTick’s automation tools allowed John to take on the role of a trusted advisor, delivering a superior customer experience. By providing clarity and insight into each offer's key deal terms, John showcased his professionalism and expertise. His clients appreciated avoiding the complexity of interpreting lengthy purchase agreements, which elevated satisfaction levels and justified the platform’s success fee.
- Boosted Client Satisfaction
Clients directly shared positive feedback about their experience. By streamlining communication and decision-making, John delivered a smoother, more transparent transaction process. This enhanced customer satisfaction, leading to stronger relationships and increased recommendations.
- Time Savings
Saving up to 10 hours per week allowed agents to focus on high-value activities like nurturing leads, generating new listings, and closing additional sales. This operational efficiency contributed to increased productivity across the firm.
Conclusion
