Create a Template for Every Real Estate Scenario Using RPR’s Next Gen Reports

RPR’s Next Gen Beta is paused. We’re making some improvements and it will be back soon.

RPR’s Next Gen Reports (Beta) is transforming the way REALTORS® create, save, and reuse property reports. One of the most powerful features is the ability to create and save custom report templates for future use, offering nearly unlimited potential for personalized client service.

Serve up Personalized Reports With Saved Templates

If you’ve perfected your report layout, why not save it and use it again? Whether it’s a residential or commercial client, you can now save custom templates tailored to specific scenarios. For example, if you’ve crafted a report for military relocation buyers, you can save that template and quickly apply it to similar clients in the future.

This article will show you how to take a generic template, such as “Seller,” and turn it into a scenario-based, specific property report. Think of these saved templates as “recipe cards” that you can refer to for different real estate clients and their unique needs.

We’ll guide you on which elements to include, which to leave out, and how to arrange them in the report. The ability to order these elements is key to creating the perfect template. As you build reports, you’ll find that organizing content not only helps prioritize important details, but also improves the overall layout, reducing pagination fatigue and making the report easier to navigate. With live previews, you can see your changes in real-time, ensuring the report looks exactly how you want before it’s finalized.

Now, let’s review how to apply these principles to specific seller scenarios.
