# Create a deal
## Step 1: Select Create Deal
To add a new listing in Rechat, always begin by **creating a Deal**. Select the **Create** button from the main navigation menu and choose **Deal**. You can also start a new Deal directly from the **Deals Dashboard** by clicking the **+ New Deal** button at the top.
## Step 2: Answer Basic Questions
You will then be asked a series of basic questions, similar to how you would interact with your assistant, to share the pertinent information on your listing.

**Tip:** You should have your contacts synced into your CRM first, so when creating a deal you can quickly look them up without having to retype all of their information.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip**: Any information you add while creating a deal will later be used to populate your forms inside of that deal for you.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip**: If you are creating a deal for a listing that is already in the MLS, you can simply select that listing and the deal will be auto-populated with the MLS information so you don’t have to retype it.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://help.rechat.com/guides/deals/creating-a-deal.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
