To work with an unrepresented seller, an offer has to be created in the buyer deal. You then draft the contract and addenda and submit them to both parties for signature.
You are acting for both sides of the paperwork: if anything needs editing, you edit the documents on behalf of your client and of the unrepresented party.
Creating the offer
In the Offers section of your buyer deal, click Start/Upload Offer.
The property will not be on the MLS, so click "Click here if the property is not listed on the MLS."
Enter the property address and answer Is the seller being represented by a Licensed Agent? with No. Click NEXT, then select your contract.
Go to the offer's Participants to add the seller. Click Add Participant, select Participant, and set the role to Sellers.
Complete the seller's information, then answer Will you be working directly with the sellers? with Yes and click SAVE. That answer is what lets Jointly assign tasks straight to the seller instead of to a listing agent. Answering it here, as you add them, sets it before you draft anything — which is where it needs to be.
Draft your offer. In the Broker Information section, select No for the intermediary relationship and No for Is the seller represented by a listing agent?
Review the contract and Submit to move on to the assign step, then click Assign.
Choose who signs first, or send to the buyer and seller simultaneously. Select No when asked whether to include a listing agent to review the documents.
If you chose one party to sign and then the other, assign it to the second party once the first has signed.
Changing whether you work directly with the sellers
You can change the answer later from the gear icon at the top of the offer, which opens Update Deal. There the same question is worded Would you like to work directly with the sellers?, in the Working with Clients section.
Changing it does not affect a document you have already drafted. If the document is already Ready to Assign, switching the answer will not change it — you will need to redo that document.
Documents the unrepresented seller needs to sign
All documents that need to be assigned to an unrepresented seller go in the Offer folder — not in the representation folder. The representation folder on your deal is only for documents between you and your own client; if you are representing a client and need representation documents for them, you create a deal for that client.
If the document is not in the forms library, it has to be uploaded, mapped, and assigned to the seller. That is the case for a T-47.1, which does not appear by default on the buyer deal's representation document list when the seller is unrepresented, and for any other document the unrepresented seller needs to sign that Jointly does not offer on that deal.
Choosing who signs first
When you are working directly with the sellers, you can choose the signing order at the assign step — including having the seller sign before the buyer.
Two limits:
Signing order only works on the Jointly web form, not on an uploaded copy of the contract.
Signing order does not work on custom mapped forms.
So it applies to the contract you drafted from the forms library, but not to a document you had to upload and map yourself for the seller. If you need wet signatures instead, download the contract.
If it is the buyer who is unrepresented
This article covers an unrepresented seller, worked from your buyer deal. If the unrepresented party is the buyer on your own listing, the procedure runs from the seller deal instead — see Working with Unrepresented Buyers.
