Glide — Pros & Cons
Pros
- ✓Guided seller disclosure wizard eliminates incomplete AVID/TDS/SPQ forms — sellers fill from any device, no agent hand-holding needed.
- ✓Native Glide Signatures e-sign is included free; no DocuSign subscription required.
- ✓CRMLS MLS integration lets agents submit offers and import transaction data directly without re-entering details.
- ✓Broker compliance dashboard centralizes review, audit trails, and approval workflows across all agent transactions.
Cons
- ✗Form library is heavily California and Florida-centric; agents in other states get minimal form-library value.
- ✗No Android app — iOS only, and the existing iOS app holds a 2.6/5 App Store rating due to recurring bugs.
- ✗Per-feature pricing ($25/mo per module) stacks up fast for teams needing multiple capabilities.
- ✗No commission calculation built in — requires a separate accounting or back-office tool alongside Glide.
