Associated Documents is a repository of documents the listing agent ties to their listings in Paragon. Adding Associated Documents is a listing maintenance function. Any document that is part of that listing may be uploaded to that listing in Paragon. Then as other agents view your listing, they will have the opportunity to view any document(s). Check with your Broker on which type of documents they recommend or not recommend before you upload to your listing.
