How to store a Sale record

Written by Max Kemplen

🎯 Goal

Create a sale record in Kato, capturing a completed sale or investment transaction as a single, searchable, reportable record that feeds your comp library, team rankings, and (if published) the wider Atlas platform.

❓ Why

Every completed sale is valuable evidence, for future valuations, for benchmarking, for Atlas Rankings, for client reporting. Storing sales at the moment of close-out means accuracy, completeness, and no re-keying later.

πŸ” Overview

Two routes to store a sale:

  • From close-out of a live disposal or requirement β€” natural flow if you managed the deal through Kato

  • Direct via the Sales section β€” using Create forms for deals not tracked live in Kato


πŸ“Š Route A β€” Store from close-out

  1. Open the disposal or requirement.

  2. From the Interest Schedule, change the match to Signed β€” or from Actions pick Record a sale.

  3. Complete the close-out form (pre-filled where possible).

  4. Save, or Save & Publish to Atlas.


πŸ“Š Route B β€” Store via the Sales section

  1. Click Sales in the left-hand nav.

  2. Go to the All tab.

  3. Click Create New β†’ select the sale option.

  4. Complete the Create Form.

  5. Save, or Save & Publish to Atlas.


πŸ“Š Required fields for publishing to Atlas

Headline Details: Address, Property type, Transaction date, Our Acquisition/Our Disposal designation.

Atlas Rankings eligibility (sales): Tenure, Purchase price, Total size, Your agent's name(s).

Atlas Rankings eligibility (investments): Tenure, Purchase price, Total size, Your agent's name(s).


βœ… You've done it when…

The sale appears in your Sales list, searchable and filterable. If published, it's also live on Atlas.

πŸ’‘ Common mistakes & pro tips

  • Store at close-out, not later. Getting the record in while the details are fresh is the easiest way to get accurate data.

  • Tenure matters. Freehold, leasehold long, leasehold short β€” these change the comparable value meaningfully.

  • Distinguish investment sales from owner-occupier sales. The investment designation drives a different set of ranking and reporting logic.

  • NDA sales can still be stored in Kato and marked confidential β€” your internal reporting needs them even if Atlas can't see them.
