Notaries: property sale signing appointments

How notaries can schedule property sale signing appointments with Book: signings booked from your list, several parties per booking, rooms and changes.

5 min read

A property sale signing brings together buyers, sellers, sometimes agents, in one room at one time. The date is set once the file is complete, and everyone needs it in their calendar. With Book, you create the signing from your bookings list with the number of people attending, the contact gets a calendar file, and clients can book preliminary meetings on your own booking page.

Signing services per room

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

ServiceExample slotPlaces

Durations are examples. Set your fees according to the rules that apply to you; an empty price is hidden.

Signings from your list

Don't open public slots for signings. When the file is ready, create the booking yourself from your bookings list. First and last name are enough, and you can set the number of people attending. With an email, that person gets a confirmation with a calendar file. Send the date and address to the other parties by email.

Rooms

One booking page per business, no staff field: create signing services per room, so two signings can't land in the same room. Slots of different services can overlap, so two rooms can host signings at the same time.

Preliminary meetings online

Buyers and sellers can book an information meeting on your page before the sale. The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email and appears in the client's calendar file. Ask only for the property's town and their role, buyer or seller. Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date.

When a file isn't ready

If a document is missing, move the signing from your list. Book doesn't email clients about changes, so tell each party yourself. Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars.

What Book doesn't do

Book doesn't manage files, store documents, take payments or send reminders. See the guide on the first meeting for a will. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.

Can I set how many people attend a signing?
Yes, when you create the booking from your list.
Do all parties get a calendar file?
The booking contact does if you enter their email; send the others the details by email.
Can two signings run at once?
Yes, in different rooms with services per room.
Does Book tell parties a signing moved?
No. Tell them yourself.
