# 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.

{% 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.&#x20;
{% 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.
